Someone refresh my memory – was it Massachusetts where a prominent politician suggested that if you discover a burglar in your home you should flee your home and let the police handle it?

Don`t know about that but prominent politicians driving off bridges while drunk have special exclusions when a death results.

That was Dukakis. And that's not anecdotal, I lived in Mass at the time and remember the uproar it caused.

As for New Bedford, isn't that Barney's district?

It was a Portugese fishing town in the 80's but was fast being overrun by illegals and Columbians, with a big coke trade.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe that here in Massachusetts the law is that you must exit your house if there is an intruder, unless thst is not possible. Only then can you use lethal force (assuming of course, that the local police chief has granted your application for a gun license based on his determination that you have a "legitimate need.")

Wouldn't be surprised.
That is the state where a prominent politician discovered a pregnant
girlfriend in his sinking car so fled and let the police handle it the next day.
