This has been a big week to ten days for the the perverts out there. They're working as flagman, hanging out in the mensroom at Mass General Hospital, attacking people at MA General Hospital, working for the Truro fire dept, and riding the T.

At his age, I wonder if he got confused and thought he was on the T. Why wouldn't he keep his pension. After all, firefighter, police and politicians are above the law any way. They don't have to live by the same rule, they do what ever they want, and no body will ever stop them.

He should get double his pension. He was so brave - risking his life all of those years! I'm sure there are two sides to this story. He is a cop, so even if he was frisky rather than frisking, that should still be OK. Double pension please.
