A drag queen dressed as Elsa just single-handedly freed a stuck police wagon from a blizzard in the middle of March. If that sentence doesn't perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Boston, I don't know what does.

1. No one else bothered that those youngsters

watched and laughed and never helped?

[GopherGal]

2. At least two of us

are bothered...

7. Make that three

[smirkymonkey]

3. Yeah, that kind of bothered me too.

But I am glad Elsa did such a great job. I just wish she could have gotten some help.

14. make that four nt

18. I'm not bothered, and I doubt if I would have gone out either (although I might

have lent a shoulder if I'd been already outside and walking by).

A fit and able person made the choice to aid a police vehicle - an entity with more than adequate resources to take care of itself. A nice gesture on Elsa's part, and an entertaining video, but I don't see any obligation for anyone else to jump in. I applaud the choice to give aid, but it's not a situation in which I'd criticize those who chose not to help out...

19. Yeah, and then they post this along with "the spirit of Boston".

Two kinds of people in the world.

Those that see a situation and say "I need to pitch in and make this right".

And those that hoot and holler and scoff at the people doing what's right.

20. These youths are not the best of America

but if other youths bring us sensible gun laws and progressive reforms then there's hope for this generation

9. The cold never bothers us anyway!

Well done Elsa!

The yahoos laughing (and not helping) from inside is part of Boston (and many other places) as well.

10. While a bunch of grown-ass men sit and laugh

in the warm indoors. Dicks.

13. Queen Elsa came to Boston and pushed a police wagon out of the snow

The cold never bothered her, anyway.

Queen Elsa of Arendelle graced the streets of Boston Tuesday night, coming to the rescue of a police wagon stuck in the snow in the South End.

The Bostonian behind the costume? Jason Triplett, a 37-year-old attorney, who bought the “Frozen” costume last winter and wore it Tuesday night to give his friends a laugh.

“That was worth it enough for me,” he said.

17. I once stopped a sliding SUV by bodyslamming it

It was slip-sliding on a patch of frozen road, headed straight for our car with ginbarn and her parents in tow. If I didn't get out and throw my weight into the oncoming SUV, we could have been pushed into a ditch on Christmas Eve.

That said, Elsa is truly the hero Boston needs. I salute her.
