The City of Boston and the fucking Hippies have had then shut down for a while. Most employees are collecting unemployment and they have not been allowed to conduct any business. I think they should tell Boston to piss up a rope and move to Texas.

BOSTON -- A unique property dispute in South Boston is putting U.S. armed forces at risk and costing taxpayers money, according to the owner of a company trying to open up shop, but he told Newscenter 5's Michele McPhee that the city won't let him.
David Rogers, the owner of Ops-Core, has been operating out of the Midway Building, a loft building where artists who receive city subsidies from the Boston Redevelopment Authority, can live and work.
The basement was idle for years until Ops-Core, which specializes in protective helmets, moved in. The company produces helmets for special forces and police SWAT teams.
Other residents, upset about noise and chemical exposure, complained, calling Rogers a "warmonger," and the city issued a temporary stop work order against Rogers.
Rogers fired off an email to his neighbors saying, "Some use art as an excuse to justify and rationalize their pathetic existence while mooching from others to sustain a living."
He apologized for making the comments, but said while his company is shut down, there are wider repercussions.
"Right now, we're out of work. It means that soldiers and policemen are not getting the protective equipment they need," said Rogers.
Inspectors did not find problems with chemical storage or excess paint, a representative said, but on Monday 80 Ops-Core employees will start collecting unemployment until the city decides whether the business is appropriate in the residential neighborhood.
