Boston: Dominated by Democraps...In other words: Liars,
cheats thieves, muggers, burglars, baby killing gutter
slut Dimbos, Homosexuals, Lesbians, child molestors,
dunken fat pig congressmen date rapers, French traitors,
violent illegal alien criminal class...a true "blue" city.

[ncountylee]

Need more gun laws...NOT.

[Baby Driver]

And they have the unmitigated gall, to accuse
*Republicans* of fostering "a culture of Corruption".

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Dont these people own defensive handguns or assault rifles?

Dont they believe in exercising their God given rights to self and family defense?...

Dont they know the 2nd Amendment restrains government from
usurping their God given right to self and family defense?

"We don't solve the crime problem, we only control it," Fox said. "And we were controlling it until we let it get out of control."

This guy's picture is in the dictionary right next to the word "delusional."

***It's due to the lax gun laws we have here in New Hampshire, or so I'm told, that allow inner-city low lifes easy access to weapons.***

Nonsense. Anyone in the MSM will tell you that guns ONLY come from Alabama, Miss, and Ga! where have you been for the last 30 years, living in a cave? Sarcasm off.;)

I think the Boston Police Dept dimantled their Gang unit a while back. Bad move. A friend of mines brother was on that unit, he's been shot twice.

Boston used to be called the "Athens of America." Sounds more like the "Baghdad of America" now.

All these excuses they're using...demographic bubble, diversion of funds to the war on terrorism, drugs, etc. are BS. Case in point: New York City, where all those current "excuses" could also apply yet NYC's crime rate continues to drop year after year and is at a 40+ year low. Instead of making excuses, they should be studying what New York is doing right and copy it.

[festus]

Gun control is working well.

Spoken like someone who's never been to Boston. 71 murders in a metro area with 5.8 million people, and those murders essentially isolated to a few neighborhoods (Dorchester, Roxbury). The trend is not good, but Boston is one of the safest, most beautiful, most livable, and actually most socially conservative big cities in America.

I was born in and grew up in Boston (1947 - 1968). As a kid, I could travel alone on the MBTA and walk in any neighborhood. The only place I was told not to go to alone was the Arboretum!
