WORCESTER— Nine city councilors have joined forces in pushing for an “unruly gathering” ordinance, intended to help the city crack down on out-of-control house parties by targeting the owners of the homes.

Councilor-at-Large Michael J. Germain, who is spearheading the effort, said the councilors are asking the city administration to look into establishing an ordinance similar to one in Narragansett, R.I. He said that ordinance applies to any group of five or more people who cause a disturbance in any manner on private or public property, regardless of the time of the day.

Mr. Germain said police are allowed to hold the owners of the houses where such public nuisances occur liable for the offense, whether they were home at that time or not, and they can be fined $300 for the first offense. Fines increase for subsequent offenses, reaching a maximum of $500 for the third offense.

So now we’re basing Worcester ordinances on Narragansett? Population 17,000? Really? ‘disturbance of any manner on private or public property’? The council has lost it’s collective mind.
While we’re at it, lets tax smiles on babies. Those fucking no-necks are having way too much fun as well.

On a larger level, how would this not violate the the right of assembly?

oh. and cue idiotic PILOT talks in 3…2…1…
