The same. They’re overcompensating for their embarrassment. ---

I thought I recognized the name. I know them from two stories: the recent U-haul dipshittery, and the “run away fearfully” dipshittery in Philly, that also featured a congested ride in a trailer. How’d they arrive in Boston? ---

Remember when the Freedom Riders sat down at those lunch counters with their faces concealed? Oh, that’s right, they didn’t conceal their faces because they were genuinely brave. Unlike these entitled, protected mama’s boys motherfuckers. I wonder if any of them will be kicked out of their mommies house after this. ---

As it turns out, that’s bullshit just like everything else these spoiled thumbsuckers talk about. But as long as there’s a cop to march alongside them and keep them safe, they’re saying something. ---

Yup. And the cop who protected them as they walked from the train is also socially funded. Bostonians, is there a cop who meets and protects each of you as you leave a train? Or is one only provided for white power douchebags? ---

I’ve never needed anyone to meet and protect me as I left public transportation in Boston. But, then, I’m not a Klansman either. ---

This tweet pissed me off so much when it came out. They got out at Oak Grove in Malden (the furthest north of the Orange line T stops, probably the easiest one to get to if you’re coming from NH and northern MA). It is not Cambridge. Malden doesn’t touch Cambridge. Malden doesn’t touch a town that touches Cambridge. The orange line doesn’t go to Cambridge. The nazis pissed me off way more, but it just really annoyed me.
