Right but we don't have a congress in MA. So easier to say go to your Congressperson.

I’m probably gonna get whooshed and not know the reference but…

There are a group of legislators that meet in Boston and pass bills in the commonwealth’s version of congress. In Mass it’s called the Massachusetts General Court. Consisting of the Massachusetts State Senate and House of Representatives. The OP is being told to go to the legislators that work in Washington DC and not Boston

This is just your anxiety talking. You are okay, sorry that this is causing you so much strife. But it's a very common, normal occurrence and no harm was done. You're good, try and put it behind you.

I would leave my state too if it was a liberal cesspool

This may seem like the wrong answer but it is 100000% the right answer and is very underrated. Your congressman/woman has a constituent services department and their whole point is to chase down the federal government on things like this and they WILL help. Had an issue like this with my wife where USCIS just lost her application for citizenship. They got it found within a week or so.

I’d also ping markey’s office, though the rep will probably be more responsive. Warrens office isn’t very helpful on these.

What's a state congressman?

Am I wrong? So you're saying that all those thousands of MA residents that come up here to camp would be perfectly fine with paying 3X what they're currently paying to camp at state parks in NH?

Who needs fluff? They already got jam

Dude relax. You are fine. Seriously you’re stressing yourself out over nothing

I live right there :)

I donated to the earthquake victims in Turkey through the Islamic Center on Rt 20 in Wayland ( or maybe it’s Weston). I am not sure they are still collecting but it’s worth a call. So many people left with nothing.

I did what you recommended. If that cop had been familiar with this person’s reddit history they would have been cuffed and interrogated. Wow, so many alarm bells going off here.

Probably sold that high schooler some weed and was overseeing the distribution to high school customer base.

You weren't harassed. Kids are shot in their classrooms on a daily basis. Get off the school property. It's also February vacation. The schools are empty so why were you there to see a high school student? And what business are you conducting with a high school student anyway? Creepy.

Just glancing at this persons profile- 32 year old male yet at 5’1” maybe they thought they would blend in with the school children during recess.

> I do some business with a high schooler in town and was walking around the school yard to see how operations were going.

Yeah, that's a giant red flag. I'm fucking glad the police did exactly what we'd all want in this situation: get you the hell away from the school!

Props to the cop for doing his job and challenging a weird adult male who is " seeing how operations are going" at a school in the middle of the day, he should have cuffed you and forced you to identify yourself, you were trespassing

> I do some business with a high schooler in town and was walking around the school yard to see how operations were going.

ngl - this sounds shady.

You have no right to be on school grounds during school hours. The cop should have done more than question you but probably decided you were just a fool doing something ignorant.
