'Eastie' as in East Boston, Logan Airport. Southie, South Boston. When I lived there, not 10 minutes waking distance to the location in the Herald's news item, Eastie was at least 90% Italian, with many people right off the boat from the old country.

This is frigging wild. How things have changed for the worst. When I lived there a 'made man' could double, even triple park his car and never get a tagged with a ticket from the cops. It was area which was tight, most people knew each other. This crap would not be tolerated.

Imagine a Mexican national who convets to radical Islam in prison and then after release forms a terrorist group right in our own country.

It might happen pretty soon.

I found your FReeper profile page to be interesting. I actually lifted a couple of the images of Boston for later use by myself. I see John Kerry's home (sort of) in one of them. The bas relief of the Massachusetts 54th was cool. I was living in Readville last summer and I took a nbr of images of the old Camp Readville site. I am planning down the road to perhaps do a Canteen thread on the subject. If not that, then I'll just do an addition to one of my personal web site pages. 

This image had some graffiti on it, but I'll clean that up later. I have a few more if you are interested.
