Occupy Boston finally kicked out of Dewey Square.
$1 million OT tab needed to quash Occupy Boston
Even today, you can do a lot for a million dollars. Now if they bid that job out to the private sector I’m sure that the tab, excluding the cleaning bill, would have been closer to ten thousand, and we could have hired all Vets.
From the BostonHearald City Desk Blog: BPD UPDATE: At this time, Boston Police can report the arrest of 32 males and 14 females. The charges include trespassing and disorderly conduct.

Dan O’Brien reports that police arrested a group of people in front of South Station who had blocked the street along Atlantic Avenue. They were tossed in a transport van where those arrested could be heard kicking the walls of the van. [Pass out the pacifiers]
Simultaneously, a bulldozer is clearing out Dewey Square … all this as the sun comes up on a new day in downtown.
Greenway mass effect! Now comes the cleanup
The Utopian dreamers of Occupy Boston are leaving behind a disgusting field of filth on the formerly scenic Rose Kennedy Greenway, where trees will have to be replanted, grass resodded, sprinklers repaired or replaced and the entire area power-hosed in a massive cleanup that could take weeks.
These jokers are having a victory party right now, like gleeful infants who twisted the cats tail. The question is what will happen the next time? What will the city have learned from all this? If they land on the OccupyKiddies like a ton of bricks at the first sign of a tent stake, or slap on the cuffs for the first letter of graffiti that shows up then they learned the right lesson. If they stand around watching and placing police to protect the trespassers not to arrest them, then they learned nothing.
Or we had better learn that in this fight, the City administration and the union police are not on our side. After all, don’t think of that million dollars as wasted, think of it as a holiday bonus to the unions.











It’s about time. Fire hoses next time.
