This is a typical political reaction to a real problem. All show, no solution. This is the story in Boston. In the last ten years, illegal urban riding has become more and more popular. In the beginning, the police would put a stop to blatant offenders. Then, naturally, the misunderstood youths would run from the cops. Naturally, the cops chased. Kids, and others, got hurt. The liberal outcry over these barbarian cops chasing these poor, underprivileged children was heard by the ULTRA liberal administration. The Mayor's office issued an edict to the Boston Police not to chase dirtbikes/ATVs under any circumstances. The number of disadvantaged, underemployed, future community organizers riding in the Dorchester and Roxbury sections of the city skyrocketed. The Police maintained their ordered hands-off approach. Videos surfaced of these Lebowski Urban Achievers all over youtube. It became widely known that the cops were hands off. They started taunting the cops. Donuts in the center of Mass Ave intersections, epic wheelies past BPD headquarters. It was pretty cool, actually, to see liberal policy failing before your eyes. Anyway, the number of riders grew incredibly large, and expansion was inevitable. Riders spilled into White, UBER-liberal surrounding areas like Newton, Wellesley, West Roxbury, and Walpole. A group of 300+ riders even drove through the Ted Williams Tunnel last year. It was like a scene out of Road Warrior. The (new) Mayor's phone started ringing. White people were scared!! Furthermore, riders sought out off-road terrain, which led them to parks and "conservation areas." Liberal strongholds. THINK OF THE WIPPERWHILLS!! OH THE HUMANITY!! More and more outcry for action. So, whats a liberal as$hole leader to do? Can't chase em...... Can't let em' ride...... I know!!! Lets do nothing, put it on TV, and claim victory! So they rounded up all the abandoned, clapped out, worn out, junk bikes they could find. Everything in project yards and chained to light poles and under tenement porches. They piled them on a few ramp trucks and took some pictures. Then they showed youtube clips on the news of guys riding wheelies on brand new 450's and raptors, and banshee street races. They cut to the ramp truck photos of chinese quads from 2006 and Sunl 50cc scooters and the headline was "Cops Crack Down on Illegal ATV Riders". Meanwhile, Thurston Howell III and Lovie sit back in their easy chair, sip their tea, and say "See, Lovie, I told you that call to the Mayor would result in swift action!" Then he kisses her on the cheek, turns on his ADT Home Security Blanket, and nods off to sleep. Dreaming of Hillary's Inauguration Day. One step closer to ridding himself of the guilt of Daddy's inheritance.
