Hey go easy on Dorchester. I was born and raised in Dorchester. Pronounced locally as Daw-chest-tah.
The so called Harbor Point project which the assailants fled to was originally the Columbia point Housing project. I spent time there as a friend, and a couple of co workers lived there. They (The city of Boston) forced the working whites out, and eventually it degenerated into a high rise slum. We renamed it locally "Sin City". Visiting people there became an adventure. You never came unannounced. You called first to get safe passage in and out. If you were told the natives were restless you stayed away.
The very politically correct City of Boston in the past covered over it's racial problems by not covering racial stories in it's newspapers. I am surprised they are covering this one. This is a non story compared to past racial atrocities that have been comitted by blacks on whites in that area.
I went to BC High my first year of high school,it was located then in the south end of Boston. BCH Got moved across the street from the Boston Globe and near the Housing project. And within walking distance of my house.
It was amazing that with racial conflicts (black on white)happening in the area that the Globe reporters didnt notice. The only racial problems the Globe could find were a few miles away in South Boston where the whites were identified as the culprits. -Tom
