Did last Monday’s Quincy City Council dodge a tragic disaster?
The basis for an ex post facto concern?
The meeting took up but did not take a vote on calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
In turn, so baited a potential disaster?
The South Shore Broadsheet exclusively reported that a supporter of Israel who shot a Palestinian supporter during an altercation at a protest in Newton on Thursday night was at Monday evening’s Quincy City Council meeting several days earlier

The concern?
The Framingham resident had a license to carry until he was arraigned anyway in Newton District Court on various charges tied to the shooting.
Further, while the indicted individual is not Jewish, he has a history of various at least disconcerting actions as regards protest events and such in the Greater Boston area tied to the ongoing carnage in Gaza.
In turn as regards the council meeting, one can only imagine what could have happened given that by far a majority of at least fourteen police officers on hand for the meeting were instead outside of City Hall.
Why outside?
Outside of City Hall errantly monitoring peaceful and typically gray-haired pay raise protesters?

Further outrageous, these massive pay raises were “approved” in apparent abject disregard of a local ordinance mandating that any such raises must be approved by the votes of locals.
Needless to say, one can now only assume that the City Council and the mayor will soon be seeking to obtain magnetometers or other sort of weapons screening equipment as well as perhaps also seek to impose police pat-downs of anyone attending council meetings, if not also especially those heading into City Hall for whatever reason during business hours.
That and perhaps also establish a 24/7/365 praetorian guard for Quincy’s peerless mayor.
Well, city council meetings were always a bit dramatic, but literally missing a bullet? That’s next level. I guess debating potholes and zoning laws was just too boring we had to throw in a real-life action scene. Who needs Robert’s Rules of Order when you’ve got a near-miss to keep everyone awake? Maybe next time, the council can tackle pressing issues like crime prevention, starting with, I don’t know, securing the room? But hey, at least they didn’t miss their chance to duck!
