BOSTON - A Boston man is accused of firing upon at least 21 of the city's police officers during a night of violence and looting that started late on Sunday.

John Boampong, 37, of Dorchester is being held without bail following a Wednesday hearing in Boston Municipal Court, during which Suffolk County prosecutors presented evidence to prove that he presented a danger to the public.

He was arraigned on 21 counts of armed assault with intent to murder in connection with the shooting that happened on Providence Street in the early hours of Monday morning.

Prosecutors accused Boampong of firing 10 shots toward Boston police officers after a confrontation with them in the Back Bay.

Judge Paul Treseler dismissed a motion filed by Boampong to dismiss the 21 charges and held him without bail under a statute that allows a judge to hold a defendant accused of certain offenses without bail for up to 120 days pending trial upon “clear and convincing evidence that no conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community.”

That’s interesting, because the US and China think Ghana is pretty important.

Rep. Ilhan Omar and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set aside the squabble between The Squad and House leadership — to take a shot at President Trump. “They said ‘send her back’ but Speaker @SpeakerPelosi didn’t just make arrangements to send me back, she went back with me,” Omar tweeted along with a photo of herself and Pelosi smiling hand-in-hand in Ghana, referring to Trump’s controversial tweet that Omar and other progressive lawmakers of color should “go back” to their countries. “So grateful for the honor to return to Mother Africa with the @TheBlackCaucus and commemorate The Year of Return! #Doorofreturn...

The news that Congolese possibly infected with Ebola virus were streaming across the southwest border of the United States with the tsunami of Central American migrants was bad enough. Even worse is the latest report from the Center for Immigration Studies: 35,000 Africans are tramping north for the U.S. border in the hope of ensconcing themselves in U.S. sanctuary cities. They’re headed this way through the Darién Gap, a 66-mile long swath of rough territory in the borderlands of Colombia and Panama.

One wonders why so many Africans are all the sudden abandoning in mass their homelands to come to the US and Europe?

After their countries become indebted to China, they need to flee or are being evicted by the Chinese?

What do Omar and Pelosi see in Ghana? Melania was there about a month before.

Has the rioting STOPPED yet, or has the media simply stopped reporting the rioting?
Saw NO reports of rioting from last night.
I strongly suspect it is still going on and the MSM has been given orders to stop reporting it because they SEE just how much middle America is getting REALLY pissed off by it.
