Aaaaaaand we’re back. This story today in the Boston Herald compelled me to actually post this.
Our hero is a Mr. Robert Goodwin of Arlington, who, according to the Herald, refused to go along with the ridiculous Security Theatre currently being randomly performed by the MBTA here in Boston. I personally once saw one of these roaming throw-back “checkpoints,” but was near enough another stop to simply turn around and leave. Alewife Station is the end of the Red Line, with no other stations nearby, giving Mr. Goodwin ample reason to be pissed and little choice. Good on you, sir, for standing up to these embiciles.
The second award today (an unprecedented step in these trying times) goes to Cambridge District Court Judge Roanne Sragow, whose superlative moral compass saw this incident for the incredible nonsensical intrusion into basic freedom it is and dismissed the charges. Golf clap for you, Your Honor. Well done.
