Boston mayor vows to seize t-shirts from stores

…because he doesn’t like the message printed on them, as Reason “Hit and Run” reports:

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has ordered the city to seize T-shirts that say “Stop Snitchin.” “‘It’s wrong,’ Menino said. ‘We are going into every retail store that sells the shirts and remove them.'”
