It's been rather odd here in Boston. On one hand, the police had no problem at all with the Zombie March here, and even set up crosswalks for it. On the other hand, they totally flip out over Mooninite lite brites. On one hand, we're the only state in the US to allow gay marraige. On the other hand, we elected a Republican Mormon as governor - though we did run him outta town and elected a black Democrat to take his place.
Something to keep in mind is that the citizens of Boston had been seeing the Mooninites around town for a few weeks prior to the recent freakout, and they paid no mind to them. So, it's not like the _people_ of this city completely lost their shit. It was the Boston police - and then subsequently Boston mayor Tom Menino and MA governor Deval Patrick - who blew this way out of proportion.
