This story cracked me up!
Boston is going way overboard in their "post-scare" response. I mean, throw the book at the culprits? Press charges? Come on! Do they honestly think that causing a bomb scare was the motivation behind this marketing campaign? Or are they trying to cover for their own embarrassment for an over-response?
I'm not sure about what Boston is thinking. But after seeing those two boobs who put the signs all over the place I'd like to jail them for iritating me.
Justified or not, they are in deep do do. They need to get a hair cut, let their lawyer talk for them and try to look a bit sorry for the mess. Otherwise, I have a feeling they a will be the poster-children for stupidity.
It depends on their intent. If the case can be made and then proven that the devices were made to specifically look like bombs, then yes, I agree. If not, then the responsibility lies strictly on Boston's shoulders.
I agree about their attitude and not at least pretending they are sorry, but stupidity is not a crime.
