“The mayor has shown a really wonderful sense of balance in how he has approached Occupy Boston,” Patrick told the Boston Globe, “[showing] both respect for the right of the people who were present to be there and have their voices heard, and also his concern for the public safety and the public interest of the rest of the public.”
