A more typical 3 a.m. episode in Kenmore Square
Last week I wrote about an early-morning assault on a young woman in Kenmore Square. Such assaults are rare in our neighborhood, thank God. This morning I was roused from my not overly deep sleep by a much a more frequent occurrence: A loud and profane argument between two (presumably) drunk people in the street. The man and the woman went at it for more than 20 minutes, maybe for as long as 30 minutes. It was quite annoying, but it is the kind of thing one would be crazy to run outside to put an end to and cops couldn’t care less about stuff like that. So one has little choice but to hope that one can go back to sleep regardless of whether the drunks keep screaming or not.
