"it is unclear if the violence was gang related." Right, could have been attendees of the Boston Pops.

I hope this didn’t start as a disagreement over deflated footballs.

Or members of the mechanical engineering department at MIT.

I wonder how they voted

There should be a waiting period for parties . . . for the children. :-)

I’ve been pretty upset that the Herald has removed it’s comment section.
Pisses me off actually.

Probably be like the shooting in Omaha where the witnesses refused to co-operate.

[PAR35]

Wait a second. I see a pattern here.

From this story about the Boston shooting:

“An altercation at a party around 11:15 last night spilled out onto nearby Parker Street”

From an earlier story about the shooting in Omaha:

“Families talking to Omaha Police after shooting at 2 am near 34th/Parker leaves 2 people dead” (see photo caption at the link for this posting: Police: Third person dies after shooting at Nebraska party http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3250371/posts

What ever you do this weekend, wherever you are,

STAY AWAY FROM PARKER STREET/ROAD/AVENUE!!!!!

Must be another group of those rowdy Swedish gangs.

Anybody old enough to remember going to a party, when you didn't carry weapons and extra ammo?

What am I saying? I never did carry weapons and ammo to a party.

My son used to live there. We visited several times. It’s sort of an island of gentrification in the middle of some sketchy neighborhoods. Lots of musicians. Some really amazing homes were built out there around Jamaica Pond. Beautiful architectural features throughout the district. I don’t think that there is a lot of gang activity there.

This isn’t part of Jamica proper, is it. It must be a puss pocket in Boston, right?
