Do you think Mr. commutes back and forth on the T might have some more "real world" experience than Mr. posts daily on the atrocities from their home? seriously?

Not fake news. Just news filtered through a morbid lens. Like asking 2 different people on their experiences of the same restaurant on the same night, and one is a miserable doom seeker, and the other is just happy to be out of their house.

You are helping nothing.

thank you for all of your help. sometimes I should just learn to sit back and let people tell me how bad things are in the "real world".

I think Boston has inherited more mentally ill people and drug ridden people in the last decade or so thanks to the whole melnea cass situation. MA is such a liberal state and 'we' seem to welcome all sorts people with all sorts of problems.
these are two very valid points. I think this should be recognized when having these conversations. I'm not sure how accurate data would be of these type of encounters that have rarely been reported in the past to being shoved in your face all day. I know there is a ton of data supporting peoples exposure to it though.

This makes no sense. Maybe someone was happy to get out of their house and get on the T then experienced or witnessed a fight on there.

There seem to be enough incidents happening on the T to report on.

You must be either blind or totally oblivious, to suggest that behavior on the T hasn't deteriorated over the years (even compared to when the crime "stats" were off the charts bad). But it's worth noting that you haven't actually come out and said anything denying this fact, yet ramble on with your usual deflection and trying to call out the credibility of others while having no argument of your own to offer. It's consistent with your long pattern of hostility towards any bad news reported on Boston, treating it as if somebody insulted your mother.

It's odd that this dude gets so upset about when crime in Boston is mentioned. Should we just pretend it's not there ? Also pretend no one in Boston has drug issues or are poor?
