Very mixed feelings about the World Series as more
information comes out about the Boston Police Department policies
(or lack thereof) that lead to the killing of Victoria Snelgrove. At first it sounded like an innocent mistake, but now it's hard for me not to associate
the Red Sox' amazing, inspirational comeback with the BPD ineptness
that cost this young woman her life. Given the Sox' role in Boston life,
being stuck with that association stinks. The BPD damn well better come up with
a way to deter or arrest the jerks who use sporting events as an excuse
to go crazy in the streets, and they need to put away their allegedly
non-lethal weapons at least until they understand how lethal they really
are, and which situations are and are not appropriate for their use.
Having said that, this tragic event is hardly the fault of the Red Sox organization or its worldwide following, and I'd still love to see them beat the Cardinals.
