Boy Scouts forbidden to collect for the troops in Massachusetts
The Boy Scouts did the right thing. They asked permission to set up donation boxes to collect money for care packages to send to our troops. Some asshole complained that it was a political message (Really???) and the donation boxes were immediately taken down.
Let the karma police bless this stupid town.
Big-hearted Boy Scouts collecting donations for care packages for U.S. troops are still scratching their heads after being sent packing from polling stations when Cambridge officials ruled their generous effort “political.”
“We just wanted to make a lot of troops happy,” said Scout Patrick O’Connor, 16. “I was devastated that someone would think to take (the donation boxes) out,” he said.
O’Connor of West Cambridge was one of the Scouts who wanted to collect toiletries, magazines, candy and other items for care packages after one of his relatives was injured in an IED explosion while serving in Iraq.
