Duval Patrick: what a governor!

[FishermanTim]

Let's see....He won't OK the Melissa Bill because it's not lenient enough for repeat violent offenders, yet he WILL be voting today on the new casino bill?
Between him and House Speaker Deleo (delaying the vote for police officer's wife's death benefits) I don't know who is more inept or possibly corrupt?

When I read stories like these, I am ever so glad that I didn't vote for these a-holes, and feel sorry for anyone that did.

A good % of his supporters absolutely are brain dead.
True story.
One of my friends who owns an auto body shop in Dorchester, which is as I'm told, has 1/3 of it's population on welfare, EBT, or some other state & government handout.
He goes into a convenient store and is waiting to pay and there is this big fat woman paying for her stuff with her EBT card. He kind of laughs and gives her a look like she's a piece of #^&#^&#^&#^&.
She says to him.
"Me being on welfare is the reason you have a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing job"
Thats the mentality of his supporters !
I saw this thousands of times growing up as my grandfathers repair shop was in Dorchester right around the corner to a welfare office.
The friggin place was a zoo every 1st of the month.

Nobody likes a freeloader, except the Government.

I “might” not mind paying taxes as much if it was all going to a worthy cause. The reality is that a lot of our tax money is going to unworthy causes and unworthy people. It really makes me sick to my stomach when I look at what the government takes from me and wastes away without a care.

Those people you mention Ronnie have no conscious. They are leeches and parasites. They aren’t held accountable for anything for anything by anyone.

It’s pretty simple, they can make a decision to bust their hump and work hard (might not be glamorous work), or they can sit back, be content (maybe not happy) and live in a welfare environment with subsidies out the ass expecting others to pay for their lack of ambition. They choose to “exist”, not to “live”.

They can decide if they want to work hard or not, the shame is we can’t decide not to support them when they choose to take the handout, the Government does it for us……..

I’m not saying there not are people out there that run into hard times that need help from society. Dust yourself off, get one with your life and go back to being a productive member of society, the people who are “lifers” are the ones that make my blood pressure go off the deep end.

I used to work for Fallon Ambulance part time and Blue Hills Ave was a main route we took to get to/from a lot of nursing homes and patients.

Every weekday in that area is like a Sunday afternoon. Every teenage girl is either pushing a baby stroller or pregnant (or both). People sitting around every where. Almost every porch or set of stairs has at least a couple people drinking from their paper bags.

Dorchester, Mattapan and the surrounding areas define the term "Welfare State." These are the people who are voting for Cadillac Deval in droves.

Pretty sad when an EMT in Boston has to wear a bullet proof vest to go to work and his work is saving people's lives, but has to wear a vest to possibly save his own.
A guy I had driving my plow truck this past winter was in Boston till he could get a job out of the city, he told me some good stories, one included his partner EMT getting stabbed.
Did you wear a vest ?

I didn't, but many of the old timers did. At the time, I believe Fallon would reimburse a % of a vest purchase but only for full time employees.

While in college I also worked medical 911 in Hartford/E. Hartford/Manchester for 2 years prior to that and been in close proximity to a number of shootings there. Dorchester is Disney World compared to some of those neighborhoods.

You're right though. For $12-17/hr, it's a damn shame how much unarmed EMTs are targeted by the neighborhood trash.

Parts of Brockton EMTs do the same, parts of New Bedford EMTs do the same.

NYFD EMTs sometimes carry vests.
Must be Duval's fault.
