Menino Plays Hardball at the Superbowl

While the Patriots get closer to Superbowl Sunday, the city of Boston is in preparation as well for the big day. Last night, Mayor Menino met with local police and university administration to discuss preventing more game-related rioting. He plans on putting an 600 more police officers in "key places" (i.e. Kenmore Square, Faneuil Hall, and the Northeastern University area) throughout the city, along with a no-tolerance policy for those involved in any sort of rioting— immediate expulsion from their school.
Menino also made a sweeping remark that Boston-area liquor stores should limit the amount they sell to students during Superbowl weekend. Local owners are curious to know how they should enforce his mandate after they sell the alcohol (to of-age students of course) once they leave the stores.
The Mayor gave no advice on this one but he seems pretty serious about his threats. After last year's Superbowl celebration that killed one man and the tragic death after the Sox beat the Yankees in Game 7 in October, the Boston Police need to step it up even more this year. The local students could also grow up a bit and realize that climbing a tree or flipping a car is not a great way to celebrate...let's show the rest of the country that Boston can be classy, just like the Patriots and their win on Sunday, huh?
