You're on reddit, and yet you're surprised that this is what happens when school kids fight? You must only browse Star Trek Fan Fic subreddits or something...

Just turned 50 this week. Kids got in fights a lot when I was young, including myself (never started them, but had girls start them with me, usually over the stupidest shit imaginable.) Some kids are always going to be like this, girls and boys. Quit your pearl clutching about kids today.

The wealthy people in Cambridge send their kids to BB&N, not Ringe and Latin

So it doesn't say that.
But it does say that 1:40 is the end. When 1:40 hits, it's over. Same as a show on TV that starts at 6 and ends at 7. At 7:00, it's over.

Totally get it. And you're right. But if we're getting technical... what if I paid my parking at 1:10:59? Don't I get to park for 30 minutes exactly until 1:40:59? It goes both ways imo. Their system probably knows the exact time, my meter was most likely expired by a few seconds and that's why they issued the ticket.

CBFit on Highland Ave in Somerville. You’ll have to get there. But he has a little gym that has everything you need. I worked out with him consistently for a year and I’m my fittest ever. He’s affordable and good company, too.

This is satire right? You're aware of how ridiculous you sound?

Oh my goodness! You're 100% right. I thought that CRLS was one of the best in the USA all this time. I thought that it was great because it was featured in Michael Moore's "What Country to Invade Next" documentary. He showed what kind of foods were served in the cafeteria.
I totally assumed that a very wealthy city like Cambridge would have an awesome school. Wow. I was wrong. But you've got to admit: The library is awesome.

You literally said it was a “huge fight”.

Even before cell phones, “swarming” is what happens during “school yard” fights. I’ve attended “rough” and “better” schools and fights have happened; same behavior. And the reason why they didn’t separate it was probably the same reason you chose to be a bystander.

I can’t speak for kids 50 years ago. There are plenty of kids today who wouldn’t do this, and who would try to help a defenseless classmate being beaten. Apparently there weren’t any in this CRLS crowd. Let’s hope they don’t represent the student body as a whole. Just as I’d hope people coming here and making (bad) jokes about it don’t represent the kind of people currently living in Cambridge.

I mean…kids 50 years ago would’ve taken videos of a fight if they had an easy to use camera with them at all times…

They’re trash (just like you) if they let a child who doesn’t want to fight get beat up. Trash like you influencing and raising children is how we get here.

I saw a couple coyotes on the exit ramp connecting 95 and route 2--that was pretty exciting!

Was it eventually broken up by kids? If so, that’s often how the fights go

I always love the date ranges people give when trying to argue biking doesn't happen in the winter. I guess we have snowstorms 9 months out of the year now.
