“It’s an attempt to crack down on the vile and vicious hispanic gang MS-13, as the machete is its weapon of choice.”

So if MS-13 switches to using butter knifes, or chain saws, then this sort of asinine (albeit typical for Massachusetts)legislative logic will outlaw them too? Again, this is why I left the insanity of that irrelevant, piece of turd, commonwealth.

In Holyoke the inane poltroons who pretend to be police officers will not even investigate a theft... They are too busy sitting on their fat Irish asses, chowing donuts in their squad cars. They take over 2 hours to respond to a reported car theft... if they bother to show-up at all.

On a windy August night in 1999, in the city of Holyoke, a couple of drug dealing thugs, two 12-year-old boys, broke into a boarded-up apartment building in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and set it ablaze to cover their activity. The fire destroyed an entire city block: 11 buildings, including a 19th century Catholic cathedral: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, its efficient soup kitchen, and homeless shelter. It is said that the Holyoke Fire Department could not immediately control the blaze because the city water mains on the parallel streets were plugged with rust and debris, and thus the hydrants closest to the scene were useless. I had never witnessed a church burn down until that unforgettable night. You could see the flames 10 miles away.

This is what tax revenues buy for Massachusetts residents. Incompetence and malfeasance by public officials on a scale that staggers the mind. But hey, at least they are protecting us from machete attacks!
