Malden teen charged with smashing Holocaust Memorial panel; bystanders grab him

Part of his sentence should be to change his legal name to his court docket or inmate number.

Heck, tattoo it on him so he'll remember it.

Clearly, this type of behavior will not be tolerated in our city.

The damage to the Holocaust Memorial is reprehensible but repairable. Sadly, under the Democrat legislature and Deval Patrick in the Acts of 2013, police can no longer release the name of a 17 year old accused felon. Hopefully there is a reporter left who will dig into the background of the suspect.

As for this type of behavior (malicious damage to a sacred site) how about the behavior by the BPD Court Prosecutor (usually a Sergeant or Lieutenant in each of our district courts) who agreed to the outrageous deal that dropped two Armed Bank Robbery charges caught on camera to "pickpocket" then agreed to a cute, 364 day sentence instead of 365, allowing green card holder Bampumim Teixeira to evade deportation then brutally murder two doctors in South Boston? Commissioner Evans are you looking into that type of behavior? Has anyone been referred to IAD or have you referred D.A. Conley or any of his staff to the BBO for disbarment? The glass in Government Center can be replaced, the lives of the MD's can't. Crickets.

A message from Mayor Christenson:
On behalf of the City of Malden, I am deeply disheartened to hear of the destruction caused to the Holocaust Memorial by a Malden individual. This memorial represents a sacred dedication to the memory of the Jewish men, women, and children that were killed by the Nazis and the alleged actions of this young person are reprehensible and in no way reflects what our community stands for. Instead, it reaffirms the continued need to work together to stand up against racism, violence, and hatred.

For 20 years this monument has been up, and for 19 I've been amazed that someone hasn't done the symbolic act of hatred that would dovetail with the symbolism of the work itself. Now, twice in 2 months this happens. Not good. Not good at all.

Fish’s comments are intended to do nothing more than to sow discord on UHub by starting quarrels or upsetting people. His posting of inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages are done so with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion. He does this for his own amusement.

His peculiar species of internet slithering creature is not unfamiliar to us…he is an internet troll. They all exhibit a common number of characterics…

1) They all posts inflammatory comments, not to engage in serious conversation, but to "grief" or annoy an online community.

2) Lacking human companionship, they seek a sexual-like satisfaction (are aroused) when people join the fight and reply to their deliberately disruptive comments.

3) They are not original thinkers often copying and pasting large blocks of other peoples’ text - they also do this to exhaust the readers of a topic thread, thus driving away legitimate posters of sincere comments. These blocks of text are often recycled and appeared on a variety of threads.

4) They never end a debate because they love arguing and disrupting civilized conversations.

5) The repeat arguments longer than a normal person would, to the point where people will start asking a moderator to turn off comments or block the them. The “red flag” of a troll such as Fish is to keep hammering away at a point in an obsessive manner.

6) Notice how Fish acts innocent when called a troll, resorting to statements like "I'm just stating a contrary opinion, and you can't handle it.” The reality is he is not innocent, he is simply a trouble-maker who only post inflammatory remarks, rarely contributing any real value or good information to a discussion.

7) Fish talks openly about his past but has been meticulous in keeping himself anonymous. This affords him the ability to avoid accountability thus he can get away with saying anything he wants to even telling outright lies about his dubious experiences, expertise or direct knowledge of a subject or topic.

8) When confronted or exposed sufficiently, Fish will seek to have the last word in an online discussion. When nobody responds to their last troll comment, they will proudly proclaim that they "won" what they fantasize as a "content" or “fact".

As for banning Fish, I say let him remain - let him keep posting - and let people keep hammering away on him…he will eventually trip himself up and give up that seemingly innocuous piece of information that will expose himself for the fraud he is.

Could be he just learned about Ninja Rocks and got carried away by the feeling of unlimited power.

Or not.
