Fists flew at South Shore Plaza today. A wild brawl erupted inside the Braintree mall, with men and women of all ages trading punches as the fight spilled out of a store and onto the upper floor. Bystanders screamed, filmed, and tried to pull the fighters apart. A witness, who did not want to be identified, told Mass Daily News they did not know what started the fight. South Shore Plaza has been the site of previous violence. In January 2022, a 26-year-old Boston man was shot inside a first-floor store in what police called a targeted attack, forcing a mall lockdown. Earlier this year, Braintree police mobilized in force after social media posts warned of a planned "takeover." Multiple other brawls at the plaza have ended in arrests.

Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, 80 and in his 50th year in office, used Tuesday night's WBZ-TV debate stage to argue Trump should be impeached if ICE agents are deployed to polling places on Election Day. He called the plan 'voter suppression of minorities.' Markey, who has openly rejected federal photo-ID requirements for voters, framed the ICE plan as part of a broader Trump election-day plot. Republican challenger John Deaton, a former U.S. Marine and attorney, pushed back. Deaton reminded voters Markey never called for impeaching Barack Obama during his seven-month Libya bombing campaign, nor Joe Biden over 26,000 bombs dropped across seven countries. 'You never said a word because they wear Democrat jerseys. I wear an American jersey,' Deaton said. 'We've got to stop hating each other and dividing each other.' Deaton added he has never voted for Trump but is 'open to following the evidence' on impeachment. Debate footage: WBZ-TV.

MASSACHUSETTS — An entitled cyclist apparently decided the rules of the road could wait while he gave a driver a roadside lecture about the bike lane. Video shows the cyclist planted in front of the vehicle, blocking a turn lane through an entire green-light cycle as he continues arguing with the driver over an apparent bike-lane violation. The light? Green. The cars behind him? Going nowhere. The lecture? Apparently more important. Whatever the driver did to spark the confrontation, holding up an entire lane of traffic to personally administer a bike-lane seminar is certainly one way to win hearts and minds. Share the road, indeed.
