Protesters chain themselves to Cambridge City Hall doors

What kind of protest is it that doesn’t involve pepper spray?

You're just having fun with the protestors - good clean fun with pepper spray.

I like the old communist song set in Boston, which could easily be modified for today's communists to bring their "partners" a sandwich at the City Hall doors. And will those protestors ever return? No they'll never return. And their fate is still unlearned:

Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley on a tragic and fateful day.
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family, went to ride on the M. T. A.

[Chorus]
Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unknown.
(What a pity! Poor ole Charlie. Shame and scandal. He may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square Station and he changed for Jamaica Plain.
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel." Charlie couldn't get off of that train.

[Chorus]

Now, all night long Charlie rides through the station, crying, "What will become of me?!!
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea or my cousin in Rocksbury?"

[Chorus]

Charlie's wife goes down to the Sculley Square Station every day at quarter past two,
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through . . .

His answer was my first reaction as well. They’re outside. Let them be if they can be worked around, then let them wallow in their own filth for a while, then perhaps hose them down.

Reminds me of:

I am from Massachusetts...I can see how people from other states might find this funny, but...I love it...

Heheha...BLM protestors make life difficult for Cambridge city administrators?

Talk about chickens coming home to roost, or being hoisted on your own petard!!!

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of people!

[rlmorel]

LOL! Looking at those people with their arms connected like that looks like a target rich environment for a squirt of bear spray!

[rlmorel]

Hahahahaha....

I say feed them Taco Bell every thirty minutes with a beer.

I used to like this song when I was a kid. But I had no idea that it was a protest song; instead, as kids sometimes do, I took it literally. Thus, I could never fathom why Charlie's wife wouldn't just hand him a nickel through the train window, so he could pay his fare and go home!

In those days, the MTA had a two-fare structure. One fare was for underground service, such as that provided by the Red, Blue and Orange Line subway and elevated lines, and the below-ground portion of Green Line trolley service. The other fare was for above-ground service on buses and the above-ground portion of Green Line trolley service.

If your trip on a Green Line trolley went from below-ground to above-ground, you paid the below-ground fare when you entered the trolley and the above-ground fare as a surcharge when you exited the trolley. If your trip was in the reverse direction, you paid the two fares in reverse order.

Charlie didn't have enough money to pay the surcharge on a two-mode trip, so he was the man who never returned.

When I visited Boston on a vacation trip in 1970, the MBTA still had the two-mode fare arrangement. When I visited Boston in 1984 on a business trip, they had simplified the fare structure to one fare whether you were above or below ground.

They wont forget the restroom too long.
