What I got from this is that his neighbor didn't know who lived in that house; sad really. I know pretty much all my neighbors within about ten houses.
Of course there's survival value in knowing your neighbors in a "transitional neighborhood".

Whitey Bulger, and he was based out of Winter Hill in Somerville (where I may be moving to soon) and downtown Boston, not Cambridge. How does that have anything to do with this story, anyway?
Well. its possible the police have more problems than just profiling (if true)
as allowing a known murderer (iirc) to continue operating is kinda problematic.
now that I think about it, "Whitey" may have been more of an FBI problem...
Update: new photo out shows Dr.Gates being arrested (taken by neighbor)-
interestingly, he was cuffed in front & in the foreground is an African American officer.
He's the one I'd wanna talk to ^^

I'm surprised they didn't taze the focker.

Mindel you talk sense, sometimes with insults thrown in, but that's your charm.
I'd vote for you.

Yeah, today's Chicago police force must have some pretty serious problems too then, seeing as how they allowed that Al Capone guy to operate for so long.

He needs to stop talking about Whitey Bolger. I think he has no idea about the case.

Look anna, I understand that you believe that the arrest itself was motivated by racism, and that's certainly possible.
The reason given for his arrest though, wasn't for burglary, it was for being belligerent to the cop. I don't know if that's true, nor do I know if it was true but merely a flimsy pretext for arresting him. Assuming that the case was motivated by racism though seems extremely hasty, as well as willfully ignorant of the at least ostensible reasons given for taking him in.
Do you know something besides the articles presented here? Please, share.

I can't really. In my work, I've come into contact with several people's families who have been entwined with Whitey Bolger's case in a major way--people who are well-known associates.
I find it interesting that you don't think it's an equally hasty assumption to assume that Skip Gates must be wrong and it can't be out of line and racist.

Please stop this. I refuse to believe that you're going to blind yourself so much that you're confusing reserved judgment with a categorical denial of racism. Seriously, stop.

You are misreading to whom I am directing that accusation.

Oh nevermind I got it. You were asking why I didn't also attack the opposite side, assuming that gates was wrong. Well I didn't actually notice anyone arguing that. Were someone arguing that, I'd yell at them. Let me check the front page again.
***
I'm kinda coming up empty here anna. kylen says some things that could probably be considered as assumptive. Of course there is varus doing his own thing but really, do I even need to condemn what he says anymore in order to maintain neutrality? The hypothetical assumption that gates was just being a **** at the time and deserved what he got is, of course, absurd, but at the risk of invoking the "you never asked" defense, well, you never asked.

What response do you want, exactly? You want to talk to the black cop. So go talk to the black cop.
Why do you not want to talk to either of the white cops?
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
This reminded me of this old Dave Chappelle stand up skit:
Quote:
I’m not saying I don’t like police. I’m not saying that. I’m saying, I’m just scared of them. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, we want to call them too. Somebody broke into my house once, that’s a good time to call them, but mmm mmm, mmm mmm. The house is too nice. It ain’t a real nice house, but they’d never believe I lived in it. They’d be like, (gasp) “He’s still here! [whacks the microphone on the stand]… Oh my God! Open and shut case, Johnson. I saw this once before when I was a rookie. Apparently this ****** broke in and hung up pictures of his family everywhere. Well… let’s sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here.
Quote:
Gates, 58, an acclaimed scholar on black history and a PBS documentarian, went on the attack against Crowley on Tuesday, demanding he apologize for arresting him for disorderly conduct last Thursday while investigating a reported break-in at his home. Gates, returning from a trip, was seen by a Malden woman trying to force his front door open. Police alleged he initially refused to identify himself.
And this guy is a professor at Harvard. This professor, and I use the term loosely, is a glaring example of racism in america. He's breaking into a house, yes it was his, and when the police are called he jumps up and down sreaming racism. Would you want your child taught by this fraud?
and now mein fuhrer president Obama has to step in to say the cop was out of line. This racist professor was arrested for disorderly conduct, not breaking and entering. But we have a system that makes judgements based on the colour of ones skin so this "professor" is being let off. The professor, probably drunk, was causing a public disturbance and was acting in a disorderly manner. If Palin had done something like this she would still be sitting in jail.

ROFL! Stick to the facts councillor.
Goggy,
Was this raving lunatic professor even administered a field sobriety test? Generally I find that people screaming at the top of their lungs late at night have probably had one too many.

Or are protesting their innocence, as is everyone's right when not convicted of an offence. Lest you forget an arrest does not constitute a conviction.

Umm, 12:44 is just after noon. You know lunch time.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone that life has given vodka and have party.
