But please read the attached letter from P.O. Jay Connolly, coordinator for the Boston Police Honor Guard. As all of you know , the BPD Honor Guard presents it- self on our behalf at numerous funerals, wakes and public events as the proud rep- resentatives of hundreds of years of service by Bost on’s poli ce off ice rs. The hon or guar d is not an official arm of the BPPA per se, but does consis t total ly of BPD off icer s a nd supervisors. Recently, Jay approached me and related a story about the Boston Bruins which I found revolting and disgusting. In years past, t he BPD Hono r Huard had r outin ely appeared at several Bruins’ games during the year, usually the opening game and vari- ous playoff games. After all, the Boston Police are the host-city police department and the largest municipal police department in the state. We respond to all of the calls at the TD Garden on Causeway Street, be they for the Bruins, the Celtics or any of the numerous events, concerts, etc. held there during the year. As Jay told me, he was somewhat surprise d t hat what had been a ro utine appea r- ance for the Honor Guard had been “over- looked” for the past year or two. Initially, he thought it may have been an oversight; after all, miscommunications do occur. But after having seen a Bruins game where the Barnstable Fire Department presented the pre-game colors , Jay deci ded to make an inquiry. A Mr. Charles Karoly of the Bru- ins marketing department eventually called back, and to ld Jay they would be hap py to have the capital city of Massachusetts’ police department present the colors, except…. FIRST, in order to have the “honor” of being the honor guard, the honor guard would have to …sell tickets to the Bruins games, totaling at least $2,000 (twenty, one- hundred dollar tickets). Then, and only then, would our honor guard, consisting of military veterans, many of whom had been in combat, be allowed the honor of presenting the colors at a Bruins game. Some- what taken aback at such a request, Jay was naturally per- plexed: such a de- mand had never been place d on our honor guard before. Apprehensive, Jay asked the BPD honor guard be placed on a list should an opportunity arise to present the colors during a future playoff game. As luck would have it, such an opportunity did arise, and Mr. Karoly of the Bru- ins’ marketing department called Jay back during the Tampa Bay Lighting playoff round, on a Friday: would the BPD Honor Guard be interested in presenting the colors at a playoff game (which was a mere THREE days away)? Of course, Mr. Karoly reminded Jay of the minimum re- quirement that $2,000 worth of tickets /100 FIRST, in order to have the “honor” of being the honor guard, the honor guard would have to …sell tickets to the Bruins games, totaling at least $2,000 (twenty , one-hundred dollar tickets). Then, and only then, would our honor guard, consisting of military veterans, many of whom had been in combat, be allowed the honor of presenting the colors at a Bruins game. By James Carnell, Edito r , P ax Ce ntur ion I n yet another display of his antipathy for law enforcement and his support for crimi- nal, illegal aliens, Governor Deval Patrick declared that he would not support the federal “Secure Communities” program for tracking and deporting criminals arrested in Massachusetts who are found to be here ILLEGALLY. Mayor, P.C., defy Governor, vow to support federal program for tracking/deporting illegal aliens Governor supports illegal alien criminals Transsexual murderers, rapists to get sex change at taxpayer’s expense? By Jim Carnell, Pa x Edit or E verytime you begin to think that it can’t get worse in this sick state of ours comes yet another tidbit that makes you either laugh out loud or puke your guts, depending on how long you’ve actually been of a resi- dent of this de- mented Com- monwealth. Now , I know , as a matter of pract ical real ity , that liberal moonbats are full y in control of the government, the state bureaucracy, and the judiciary. That’s a given; those of us remaining in Massachusetts who are normal hetero- sexuals, raise our kids, pay our taxes and our mortgages and our tuitions and our bil ls- are virt ual ly with out repr esen tat ion and without hope. I get that; it’s why I laugh when I see the accompanying article by Laurel Sweet ( Bosto n Hera ld, 5/31/11) rather than cry or throw up; I’ve come to expect nothing less. But even the idiot liberals have to be disgusted by this article. (Except for Ar- lington, of course, where the crazed moonbats actually think pervert former state rep James Marzilli, stalker and “Our sick state…” Convicted murderer Michelle Kosilek wants the state to pay for her sex- change surgery.
