These posts also make him sound really lazy and from what I can imagine from being familiar with a few other neighborhood papers where the management has striped the actual staff of the paper down to the bone, the real John Lynds must be more hard-working than the John Lynds posting on this blog appears to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-28909484115130559792009-09-19T13:24:46.745-04:002009-09-19T13:24:46.745-04:00“And to Jim, thanks for mentioning the 12+ candida...“And to Jim, thanks for mentioning the 12+ candidate profiles I did for the At-Large race.”<br /><br />I’m sorry that I don’t write about the Times every week. Sometimes you guys do OK, and sometimes you don’t. When I feel like there’s something egregious to point out, I do. Sometimes I even cut the Times some slack, as when I was tempted to blog about the headline atop page 6 on Sept. 9 that said, “Officer Leonard survives a harrowing accident on Constitution Beach.” I was unaware that the beach had been moved to the corner of Chelsea and Marion streets.<br /><br />“Everyone has equal space in out [sic] newspaper…”<br /><br />Did you really keep a straight face while typing that?<br /><br />“Aparently [sic] you think, minus the Mayor, the other three walk on water for showing up to a debate in Eastie…”<br /><br />Why would you imply that you know what I am thinking? I don’t recall praising the three challengers for showing up to the Eastie debate –- or really for anything else.<br /><br />“…at least the mayor has the courtsey [sic] of returning a phone call…” ... “That's the type of reporting I and the Times do--provided the candidate feels its important enough to call us back.”<br /> <br />A candidate’s courtesy is no way to decide how much coverage to provide of him or her. The fact that you’ll report only on people who are nice to you or who make your job easier is rather dispiriting. <br /><br />“the paper of record.”<br /><br />I’m sorry. Did you really just write that?<br /><br />“So stop blaming the local paper Jim…”<br /><br />This isn’t about blame. I am just stating opinions and backing them up with facts. Sometimes my interpretation is right and sometimes not. When people disagree or challenge what I write I post the comments because I’m not threatened by criticism or even attacks. The Times seems to think it’s beyond criticism.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952618158664674100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-65717269322237391002009-09-19T12:33:00.109-04:002009-09-19T12:33:00.109-04:00Hello

I am an atty....Hello<br />To the truth about John Lynds!<br />I am an atty.<br /><br />I was standing about 15 feet behind John Lynds,and I swear to God he rushed towards Joe,so I followed.<br /><br />Joe was talking to a guy with a Yoon sticker on his jacket about 20 feet away from John Lynds there is no way he could of seen Lynds.So thats apx 35 feet John went to get in Joes face.<br /><br />It was clear to me Lynds did not like Joe talking about the paper.<br /><br />But make no mistake about it,and as much spin as you want to put on it,John Lynds rushed towards Joe.<br /><br />Joe then retreated backwards towards the gym door,and John followed.<br /><br />Joe stuck the tape recorder 1 inch from him,and warned him several times he was being recorded,and guess what folks John Lynds allowed him /gave him permission,by saying,and I quote "I dont give a fk if you tape me." Joe reminded him at least 3 times infront of about 20-30 people,each time he replied the same.<br />At no time ever did Lynds say dont record me,or stop recording me!<br /><br />John you were the agressor,I am an Attorney who has already given a sworn statement to his atty for safe keeping.<br /><br />Joe I don't know much about you but right is right,and wrong is wrong.<br /><br />Joe you must of had good advice ,because you did it to the letter of the law.<br /><br />Don't worry Joe everyone hates us attys,but in the end we win.<br /><br />Mr.Lynds a point of reminder on recording people without their permission!<br /><br />November 22nd,2002 in the exact spot,where was your tape recorder,when you were recording Joe?<br />Not in plain view ,thats for sure!<br /><br />Hes a smart man,and keeps everything John.<br /><br />I was amazed at the files he has,you guys have been trying to destroy him for years !<br /><br />I read the Times both weeks,and the coverage of such a monumental event was puke to say the least.<br /><br />The edition on 9-16-09 the night of the debate should of had 6 inch letters across the front page.<br /><br />MAYORAL DEBATE TONIGHT<br />Then a real story !<br /><br />Hey Joe ,if you read this that Trenton street guy is a tad bit off the walls,watch out.<br /><br />His hate sounds like he may attack you,and since you don't seem to know him,he has a big advantage over you on a sucker punch type of incident.<br /><br />You need to find anyone who knows him,and get a physical I.D.on him,so you can avoid him.<br /><br />Nice Blog Mr.Jimbo,but the anon stuff is an invitation for disaster !<br /><br />God Bless Everyone<br />Atty J.L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-89960042383525294392009-09-19T12:03:46.957-04:002009-09-19T12:03:46.957-04:00Thank you Brian.

Oh wait, that's right you didn't mention it but you seem to have an opinion all the time on our political coverage. Must of missed it again Jimbo, we ran 2 a week all summer. Everyone has equal space in out newspaper but its up to the candidates to use that space and return emails and invitations for interviews. Aparently you think, minus the Mayor, the other three walk on water for showing up to a debate in Eastie Jim but at least the mayor has the courtsey of returning a phone call to the paper of record. I'm sorry to say the other three must think they are above speaking to the local press. So stop blaming the local paper Jim because the coverage of the at-large race was more than fair and unbais. That's the type of reporting I and the Times do--provided the candidate feels its important enough to call us back. <br /><br />-John LyndsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-19602703197427866622009-09-19T08:44:42.117-04:002009-09-19T08:44:42.117-04:00John Lyndes, there is an old saying: "You can...John Lyndes, there is an old saying: "You can't argue with a fool". Joe is a fool - so you can't argue with him! Don't cite cases or case law to him because he will surely have some other case (that he wont name or cite) to suit his needs after he talks to his imaginary lawyer. Trust me I have heard it all before.<br /><br />I think Jimbo is right on the recording statute - it deals with secretly taping conversations without the consent of all parties. Recording people's conversations, especially in public forums is always allowed. So, while what Mason did to you might not have been illegal, it was pretty typical of his idiotic paranoid behavior. What lawyer in their right mind would sit there and waste his or her time at $250+ an hour (that Joe isnt paying) to listen to his random "recordings" of people from the neighborhood? This is so silly I can't even stand it! My husband works for a lawyer and they laughed at the idea for about 6 minutes.<br /><br />Anyway, I was at the debate and saw Joe Mason stick the tape recorder in Mr. Lyndes face and you are right John he was clearly antagonizing you. But you just have to do what everyone else does - ignore him. Eventually he will go away and find someone else to bother like his neighbors.<br /><br />Finally, to Joe - I do know you. and yes - we have met - and I am not afraid to sign my name. <br /><br />PROUD NEW EAST BOSTON RESIDENT (and here to stay)<br />Brian Glassborn, Trenton StreetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-63480264667603925332009-09-18T23:08:00.090-04:002009-09-18T23:08:00.090-04:00I have made it clear that I was leaning towards Yo...I have made it clear that I was leaning towards Yoon before the event and have decided to support Yoon in the preliminary for reasons posted elsewhere.<br /><br />I have also stated elsewhere that I do believe that Mayor Menino has done many good things for the city, and even East Boston. But it has been uneven, there is way too much patronage in this administration, and frankly I believe that 4 terms is quite enough time for any but the most extraordinary individual to be mayor of any city.<br /><br />With that on the table, I will say that the Menino supporters here are not doing their candidate any favors by making implicit and explicit racist remarks, engaging in personal attacks against neighbors, and generally acting like thugs and goons.<br /><br />Yoon, Flaherty, and McCrea have made the mayor's record a signature issue in their campaign. Well, duh. If you are going to go against one of the most entrenched politicians outside of Chicago, you have to do that. And frankly, the mayor should be judged on his record. If you are in office for 16 years, you better damn well make sure that our high school has a computer lab (we are in the 21st century), some park space (given the environmental burdens we shoulder to the benefit of the rest of the city), and share some of the pretty flowers that other neighborhoods never seem to have to fight for.<br /><br />If the mayor's decision to go to Newbury Street rather than the East Boston forum on Wednesday because it was hosted by a coalition of primarily Latino focused organizations, then I believe we really do need a new mayor. If the Eastie Times decided not to cover the event simply because Joe Mason made it his purpose in life to advertise the event, then I guess I'm not missing out on much.<br /><br />The only thing that is going to ruin East Boston is neighbors attacking each other because they support different candidates, or have a different ethnic background, or haven't lived here by some unknown and arbitrary standard of "long enough." Guess what people? We live on this island together. I don't care who you support or how long you or your family have been here. We are all neighbors. Can we at least act like it?N.starlunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558893672026000878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-69349969866754492002009-09-18T21:01:20.309-04:002009-09-18T21:01:20.309-04:00Sorry John, but you're wrong.
In Commonwealt...Sorry John, but you're wrong. <br /><br />In Commonwealth v. Michael J. Hyde -- you may remember the 2001 case where a driver SECRETLY recorded a police officer during a traffic stop -- the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled against the defendant, but said that:<br /><br />"The problem here could have been avoided if, at the outset of the traffic stop, the defendant had simply informed the police of his intention to tape record the encounter, or even held the tape recorder in plain sight. Had he done so, his recording would not have been secret, and so would not have violated G.L. c. 272, § 99."Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952618158664674100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-77807181243835176202009-09-18T20:45:47.278-04:002009-09-18T20:45:47.278-04:00Jim,

However, I do want to clarify the law about recording. It is illegal, according to the chapter and section that John Lynds cites (and which I just read) to "secretly" record someone. If the recording device is in plain sight and a conversation ensues, then there is implied consent by the person being recorded. That's not to say that he or she should be recording others without their OK, only that it doesn't seem to be illegal.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952618158664674100noreply@blogger.com
