For the love of Pete. If we could only examine the shellcasings for microstamps, we would know...........well................nothing useful about the person who shot the kid.

 

[DrNVP]

these insane LTC-A ALP holders are such a danger to society.

 

[namedpipes]

Horrible as this is, is it really news anymore, or just predictable?

I hereby predict the NEXT sensless killing will be in Dorchester.

Deval Patrick, with his liberal-soft-on-crime mentality, making the streets safer for innocent law abiding people.

he wants innocents to get killed so he can ban guns

I'm still stuck on dirt bikes in the city. What's next for Dorchester? A cowboy shooting an Indian?

hustlin'?

 

[joeendris]

Police cordoned off the area, and at least one police canine unit was deployed. Commissioner Davis visited the scene.

Be careful, the BG's might shoot the dog.

Boston has a history of children being felled by gunfire.

Hmm, more laws will fix this, Sonia! Because it's working sooo well, you buffoon!
Why not keep the badguys in jail instead of early release? What a friggin' novel idea!!!!!!!

I always wondered why they weren't afraid of getting pulled over for violating helmet laws. God I can be naive sometimes.

So there's something wrong with bringing my 4 year old across the street to the playground after dark?

A 4 yo should be in bed by that time. Jack.

I believe he has setup a special number for us to call if we see anything that looks suspicious. Just call 9-1-1

"There ought to be a law"

How about let a parent decide when their kid "should" be in bed.

The best part of the Bike Ban is this: initial reports indicated that the shooter fled on a scooter; further investigation showed that he fled on foot (From the Glob this AM.

Bikes are not responsible. Guns are not responsible. Gangs aren't even responsible. The individual choosing to harm another is the responsible one. Go after that!

Let's not let facts get in the way. We need to get these dangerous high capacity motorbikes off our streets!

How about parents actually do that thing called parenting.
