I'm serious, that is what's done in almost any other city, and its almost certainly what Boston has done before.
In a very well-run city, this is a blip. But pretending there was nothing wrong is making it into a bigger event than it was.

I see your point on the Mayor's stonewalling, but in Oakland for last year's SB they did all of the things you cite and it still got f-ed up. I guess police chiefs around the country are now going to be rooting against their hometown teams whenever they reach the conference championship games from here on out.
What a strange society this is.
