Fed-up community leaders and frightened Dorchester residents called on cops and prosecutors yesterday to protect those who may be called to testify after a Suffolk Superior Court judge postponed a murder trial after potential witnesses were stabbed in a bloody melee near the courthouse....Giles sent potential jurors home and delayed the trial until Sept. 12, citing the stabbing of four people outside the courthouse Wednesday, including one witness.

But this is the kicker: the article continues...

"Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, downplayed the role the trial played in the stabbing, instead saying the bloodbath stemmed from a “long-standing feud.” “Witness safety is of paramount concern to us in this case and in every case,” Wark said. “But we have no evidence that witness intimidation was at hand here. There’s no indication these individuals were targeted because they were witnesses.”"

In my amateur opinion it's an improvement over the Judge since it also fires .45 ACP with moonclips.

Yeah, me too, but they’re scarce around here and they cost more than I can afford to sink into another pistol.

Just like they have no evidence that mobs of blacks randomly murdering and beating whites has anything to do with diversity’s Black racism.
