I see Boston hasn’t changed much. I went to school there in the 70’s. Anything not nailed down was stolen in short order.
I don’t even know what to say... people are killed/injured and during the chaos.. people steal jackets. Words fail me.....
When Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed on takeoff from Detriot Metro, the crash site was looted before and as first responders got to the scene.
Boston is the only city in America where large amounts of white people live in the projects. The looter mentality follows the sense of entitlement, not racial lines.
Here is a link to a Northwest Airlines Flight 255 looters article:

I don’t understand. Where were those jackets coming from? Were they being sold as a souvenir item?
It seems so calm a scene for a looting. It’s like the people involved don’t care about being seen. It seems so casual it makes me wonder what the jackets were for in the first place, like were they for the runners? If so maybe these people (or most of them) are just picking up jackets for their loved ones who were in the race.
The comments below the video say the jackets were being freely donated and the boxes placed for maximum access. With all the police around, I doubt any looting could happen if the owner of the jackets complained about looting.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along...

No way. The runners get their packages of goodies the day they register, which is NOT the day of the race. I have worked at the NYC Marathon several times....registration day and at the finish line. No jackets are given out at the finish line. Mylar blankets and water are given to the runners once they cross the finish line...thats it. Im sure Boston is the same.
My opinion is that those jackets belonged to a vendor. Those people taking them were stealing....and smiled as they walked away...while people were injured and dying.
Looks like vultures around a carcass. The end is near.
A nation without a soul ping
De Touqeville said something like: America is great because the people are good. She will cease to be great when the people are no longer good.
Interesting article. And Agenda 21 wants to “urbanize” the entire country. Urban living means feeling impoverished. And people seem to love it, they vote for MORE of it- and think it is so glamorous and hip.
Crazy times we live in..
Great post/reminder. Thanks.

If that was Celine Dion who I’m almost certain it is, then there is just one more reason to dislike her.
Not a single one, I would tend to think that too, except in the past few years I see people who have claimed to be conservatives do just about as many bad things as liberals.
For instance Sean calling for us to bomb or send troops in to various countries who are having a civil war.
Conservatives using AARP still, buying leftist newspapers, buying goods or services from companies that support the leftist agenda, going to movies, or buying records of from entertainers that are leftists...
