‘There’s nothing like that new tank smell’: It’s good to root for the cops again. They’ve rolled out their new Boston Peacemaker: B.E.A.R. .... “We're not going to roll up to protesters and say, `Unlawful assembly, move along,' then drive back down the street.” ... Oh no, B.E.A.R is for bigger stuff. ... Armchair Gen. Savin Hill must have caught the zeitgeist of the city yesterday via his beer-and-anarchists post below. Most of the news, now that the police strike/picket is all but over, is centered on the lefty anarchists and their media mayhem plans. ... Hub Blog is actually more fascinated with lefty/anarchist fashion: The perfect Sandinista red bandannas, the high-top Converse sneakers, Keds, the cut-off pants, the European colored socks, everything and anything that screams WE’RE FROM THE INTELLECTUAL UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS /PLEASE DON’T MISTAKE US FOR WORKING-CLASS AND MIDDLE-CLASS PATRIOTS AND BRUINS FANS. ... In other words: It’s their snobbery I find both hilareous and annoying. ...
