After a brawl disrupted a youth job fair in Boston, mayoral candidate Josh Kraft criticized Mayor Michelle Wu for inadequate safety measures. The event attracted approximately 1,500 attendees but was prematurely ended due to a large disturbance, allegedly fueled by social media. Kraft emphasized the need for better staffing and planning for managing large crowds. Wu's office touted record attendance, but Kraft argued that turnout is meaningless without proper crowd control, impacting youth opportunities for summer employment.
"Why was the event so poorly staffed and why was there no plan to manage the crowds? If they knew the attendance was going to be so large, why were they so underprepared?"
"Having a record turnout at this year's fair means nothing if crowds cannot be properly managed, and kids don't leave with the hope of a summer job."
