Sacked MBTA punks back on the job (includes drug use,
child rape, assault, and assault vs co-workers)

"The MBTA has been forced to rehire seven drivers and other key employees
after they were fired for offenses ranging from dozing at the wheel due to
drug use, child rape, and assaulting and making bizarre threats of violence
against co-workers - after bureaucratic arbitrators overturned their dismissals
on technicalities.

News of arbitrators’ leniency toward public servants entrusted with passenger
safety has alarmed T crash victims, rider advocates and the pols
who oversee the region’s sprawling transit system.

... Papapietro said he doesn’t think anyone should have
to go through what he did
... “It was the single most terrifying thing
I’ve ever experienced,”

... The arbitration records, from which the T redacted employee names, include
a bus driver arrested for attacking a co-worker at a Chelsea gas station
— despite being warned to stay away from her colleague."

Hey! They said they were sorry. Isn't that enough? It's good that their self-esteem was restored and they will have another chance to do it all over again.

We are becoming a society where actions have no consequences.

I don’t know how much longer we’re going to go down that road, but the turn-around will be sudden and ugly.

If I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that turn-around.

It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

These people have a built in protection.

They Have Plans For America


America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. - Joseph Stalin

I live 22 miles from Boston. I am proud, pleased, and relieved to state....
I have not been in the hell-hole for 17 years, and that one occasion was to visit a daughter at Brigham and Woman’s Hospital.
At least it was only a couple of city blocks inside the city.
But it is really TYPICAL of Taxachusetts.
