BREAKING-white mob chasing black man through Boston Streets
(AP)Boston-Adding another embarassing layer to this city's already sordid racial history a huge mob, mostly white, chased down a black man and several of his friends today. The mob appeared to be assisted by local residents who offered mob members water, refreshments, and vocal encouragement. Boston area police were reported to have actually blocked off streets and passively looked on as the chase passed right in front of them.

Boston police have offered no direct response but one policeman was over heard saying, "Yeah so whaaawt this happens every yeAHR"

6. I figured.
But I really did think Matcom would be in first place by this time.

(two of my neighbors went to Boston to run in it)

9. That very impressive
Aside from residents of Boston and some local areas runners have to qualify (in a certain time in certain marathons) to run Boston. I forget what the cut off time is this year.
