The mayor may well be right. Peaceful civil disobedience may not work in Boston. The town has a much longer and more effective history of rioting. This history goes back to the colonial days, and is featured in the 'Boston Massacre'. But these days most people try the nicer civil disobedience route first. It has been too long since Boston had a good non-sports related riot.
