Good.
Sad and awful of course that this is the way a 21-year-old spends his time but every time a guy like this is caught it may make some other local idiot think twice before pursuing the same line of work.
They won't think twice after
They won't think twice after they see the lenient sentence he gets.
He'll be out by the weekend.
He'll be out by the weekend.
You know...
You guys always pop up like mushrooms after rain with these kind of comments--any actual evidence that this happens? Any concrete suggestions as to what kind of punishment thus guy should receive--number of years in jail, death sentence, hands cut off at the wrist? Because all I ever seem to hear is pointless whining.
Sally, have you ever noticed
Sally, have you ever noticed that the majority of the time someone in MA is arrested for murder (or attempted murder), it's rarely their first offense and we always hear about their 10 page rap sheet that includes multiple felonies (including gun charges)?
Anecdotes are fun but...
Can you actually post facts or a link or anything? I just want to see all these cases where a murderer gets a "slap on the wrist?" Of course we know that bad guys rarely just do one bad thing but I just want to know whether this really happens and what your ideal alternative is.
Never said murderers get a
Never said murderers get a slap on the wrist, I'd argue that murder is the ONLY thing that keeps them in jail (for a few years at least).
Let's turn the clock back a few days. A child rapist who was released on $1,000 bail (despite prosecutors recommending $10,000) without a dangerousness hearing sparked a nationwide manhunt in which he sexually assaulted a handful of victims and was on his way home to allegedly commit... wait for it... MURDER.
You have no problem with his bail? You don't see that as a "slap on the wrist"?
She asked for data
Not more anecdotes.
That means data, not anecdotes.
Why don't you take the time
Why don't you take the time to look up how many murderers are first time offenders. I'm too busy at work paying to house these criminals in jail and in the bricks.
You're in denial or oblivious.
I'll let you decide.
You made the claim
You look it up.
The sky is blue
Would you like a citation for that as well?
That can be easily verified, however
Say I counter your claim by saying "no, in fact usually murders are committed by first time killers; there is little chance they will kill again" wouldn't you be curious where I came up with that (other than out of my nether regions.)
Not my argument
Brush up on your reading comprehension and get back to me.
See above
Space is getting too tight. I don't want this trend up with 3 letters on a line.
From Fox25
"Charley has a criminal record that includes assault and battery."
He has a record. Who'd have thunk it!?
You're making a totally false argument.
Uh, duh. We understand that most criminals don't strike just once. You claim that this guy will get a lenient sentence for attempted murder and so far you and your tough-talkin' cronies haven't shown any examples where that has happened.
So no then...
Plenty of time to rant but no time for evidence to support. And yes--so sorry you have to work for a living while we Libs just sit around playing with our Obamaphones, eating tea sandwiches, and planning convenience store robberies.
"eating tea sandwiches"
Party at Sally's!!!
bricks?
The days of bricks are long gone for the most part - you end up in the bricks like arborway gardens or one of the countless ugly walk-up soapboxes dotting the city if you're a working stiff who can't afford a $400k+ mortgage. If you're a welfare leech, chances are you'll end up in a modern luxury townhouse, or in the worst case a nicely renovated triple-decker.
wrist slaps
The person who murdered my son in broad daylight on the platform of an MBTA station pled guilty to manslaughter and served a whopping 2 and 1/2 years.
Uhmmmm. This is a fact.
I can not believe that is all
I can not believe that is all he served. Your son was an amazing person and his murderer should never see the light of day again.
Sorry and Angry
I'm sorry and angry you lost your son to gun violence.
Grief never goes away right?
Here's a recent one for you, since your lazy
EDWIN ALEMANY.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Edwin+Alemany+
Lousy example.
Did he have a criminal record or just a history of being a mentally unbalanced creep? And he's being held without bail and hasn't been tried or sentenced yet so I'm not sure what your point is.
Criminal Record
God your lazy!
http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/07/29/the-criminal-history-edwin-a...
Or maybe you're just a troll!
Again...
You don't really get it. Except for the assault in jail, these aren't violent crimes--burglary, burglary, burglary...the guy's in prison now with no bail. Still waiting to hear why this has any connection to the claim that murderers are being turned loose practically overnight.
Wrong again.....
"Jerome Hall-Brewster was demoted to patrolman this week after a review of a September 2012 incident found he failed to move forward in a sexual assault case last year in which Edwin Alemany was the prime suspect."

Would you like me to burp you after we spoon feed you too?
Do you understand anything you read? Or is that really too much?
WTH does a sexual assault case not being PURSUED by a police officer, let alone charged, tried, etc have to do with my original point about attempted murdererers getting a lenient sentence? Do you honestly not understand the difference or is this just your chance for a free-for-all rant about every police screw-up that ever happened?
How many times, exactly
are people arrested for murder and it hasn't been their first offense? I can think of one over the past 20 or so years, the guy who killed the Woburn cop. Got any more, in Massachusetts?
Mark Enwhistle and that h.s.
Mark Enwhistle and that h.s. football player that killed his girlfriend in Wayland. It's less frequent than people being struck by lightning in this state. Without gang related murders the US would be safer than most of Europe.
Do you want preemptive jail time?
(this is from below)
So, murders take place because people start out robbing, assaulting, and the like in your world, but there is no possible way to prevent things from escalating shy of permanently locking up an even larger percentage of our population at a great cost to the taxpayers.
Look, I spent the past weekend on UHub arguing seemingly on both sides about the sentence handed down to someone for vehicular homicide. The short of it was that he killed a guy while speeding and driving drunk. Statutory sentence? 1 to 15 years. DA's request? 5 to 6 years. Actual sentence, 2.5 years with one suspended. And he killed a guy. So what do you think someone should get for statutory rape (the original charge for the guy who escaped home confinement and engaged in a nationwide crime spree) or illegal possession of a firearm? Are you really thinking that we lock them up forever "just in case"?
I'm no liberal when it comes to crime, but we only have a finite amount of prison space and funds to run the prisons. That's a fact of life.
The number of guys that
The number of guys that appear on here committing violent crimes with past histories of violent crime which never seem to serve more than 3-5 years.
Pointless?
Tell that to Ciaran Conneely's family.

That dude who let off shots in the theater district last month or so? He shouldn't have been on the streets with his rap sheet for gun charges. It's right here on UHub.
Here's one for you: the next time you read on this site that someone was caught with a gun (second and subsequent offense charge), google their name. After that, cross-check their litany of priors, the dates, and how close they are to the most recent offense. Adam is really good about linking back to previous posts and BPD reports, but you'll see through your own research that a lot of these guys are repeat offenders. We have laws on the MA books for illegal firearm possession and federal laws for possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. There are more charges for committing a felony when a firearm is involved. My "concrete suggestion" is we actually prosecute people involved in violent crime, gang activity, and firearm-related offenses in this state. It's not difficult to see why violent criminals re-offend when the consequences are virtually nonexistent.
no more plea bargaining
When people are convicted of firing a gun with proven intent to kill, Or convicted of commiting murder, sentence them to jail and work cleaning ER Trauma Units and/or work in a Morgue.
Mandatory 1 year for possession of illegally owned firearm plus other charges. Bartley Fox.....
So make them do no less than 2 years, unless it is a murder charge.
No plea bargaining
Mandatory
I agree with the mandatory sentencing for any illegal gun crimes, but I would go further and make if 5 years mandatory. You want to get guns off the streets? That's how you do it.
Some will argue that our jails would be over crowded. I'd prefer the jails be crowded with convicted thugs than the streets be crowded with gun-toting thugs.
My Tax Dollahs
Yup, I ask that the New Governor spend my tax dollars on a new prison. Build a Bartley Fox Correctional Facility
Cut tax dollars that enable irresponsible parenting......
Freebies.....You know.....
"Swallowing the Gun"
Swallowing the gun' law
Prosecutors have their own lingo when they drop a gun charge as part of a plea agreement.
They call it "swallowing the gun."
It happens for a number of reasons. Sometimes there is a problem with evidence or witnesses, such as in the Barnett case. If a criminal runs, drops the gun and isn't caught red-handed, it can be difficult to prove who had the gun.
Sometimes the evidence is thrown out by the court, as in the Spearman case. But only 11 percent of all the gun charge cases dismissed by prosecutors during the five years studied by The Star were for evidentiary reasons.
Other times prosecutors bargain away such a charge in order to secure a guilty plea on another charge.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said his office often dismisses a charge in negotiations to get a guilty plea on another charge.
That's typical of other prosecutors as well. A large majority of cases nationwide are plea bargained.

Worth noting that almost
Worth noting that almost every one of these thugs is violating the city's AWB ban which prevents residents from having magazines exceeding 10 rounds within the city limits and yet since its enactment in 1989 NOT A SINGLE GANG MEMBER HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR VIOLATING THIS ORDINANCE!
Why is the city refusing to enforce an ordinance specifically written to target gang shootings? It's outrageous!
A Petition for New Governor?
I think a petition is needed. Please help me with ideas.

No need for new laws. We have plenty of them some of which are unconstitutional.
It's time for the existing laws to be enforced and violent convicts to serve their mandatory minimums instead of being allow to plea bargain their way out easy every single time.

Councilor Flaherty asks for prayers for owner
At today's City Council meeting, at-large Councilor Michael Flaherty asked for prayers for the market owner, whom he said has done valuable work for Dorchester's Vietnamese community - as well as working on his campaign.
Flaherty said he is now recovering from surgery after the attack - and said police were aided in their search for the suspect thanks to his son, who witnessed it and was able to provide information to police.
Meanwile, suspect Jarris Charley was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail at his arraignment in Dorchester Municipal Court today, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports. Even if he does make bail, he'll still be held because the judge revoked his bail on an unrelated assault-and-battery charge in West Roxbury Distreict court.
“The evidence suggests that the gunman shot the clerk even after taking the money,” DA Dan Conley said.
