The Massachusetts Pirate Party condemns in the strongest terms the Boston Police Department's decision to destroy the wheelchairs and medicine of Boston's homeless. Regardless of their excuses, this action was designed to scare people out of Boston and drive them to neighboring towns. This kind of violence only drives people further underground, leaving them more vulnerable to exploitation. In a state that purports to be as left-wing and progressive as Massachusetts, we do our populace a massive...

The for-profit prison industry lies at the heart of all the problems plaguing our society. With a financial incentive to criminalize their populace, a government enacts harsher laws, instructs police to gather up "undesirables," and makes felons of the working class.
