Report: Body found in East Boston marsh that of a teen who may have been shot

WHDH reports on the body found in Belle Isle Marsh Friday afternoon.

If that turns out to be the case, it would be the third murder of a teen in East Boston this year, and the fifth since September, 2015. Three of the previous murders have been linked to the MS-13 gang.

Two were killed by gang members looking for promotions by proving they could murder somebody while the third died because gang leaders had decided at a meeting to step up its wars with rivals across the eastern US.

Condolences to the victims. Their elected officials have largely failed them with the Sanctuary City policies as MS-13 thrives. Thankfully, help is on the way in 39 days.

Johnny Martorano (and his entire crew) were killing people who were involved with his criminal enterprise. The Winter Hill Gang wasn't running around robbing old ladies on street corners and killing random people for the sake of moving up the ladder. The fact that I'm defending him is sad but these drug hooligans are animals who don't even look out for their own people. Your a target even if your not involved with them.

The Winter Hill Gang killed absolutely nobody innocent? You sure your memory is right?

I grew up around them, sure innocent people got caught in the cross fire, but they weren't running around TARGETTING innocent people the way the MS-13s are.

No, don't worry, I'm not defending MS-13, but, Christ, you're talking like Whitey was some nice little patrician philanthropist. MS-13's violence is targeted at competing gang members, just like under Whitey the Snitching Mass Murderer:

Under the strict rules of MS-13, as communicated to the local “cliques” by the leaders of MS-13 in El Salvador, these prospective members must engage in significant violent criminal activity on behalf of the criminal organization, usually the killing of a rival gang member, in order to become a full-fledged member of MS-13, known as a “homeboy.”

I'm sure they thought the mentally disabled girl they raped in Somerville was part of a criminal enterprise, right?

I know you're "not defending ms-13", but, christ, it sure seems that way.

Or is this just a cherished bedtime story for nightly gun cuddling time?

That MS-13 members are bad people. Will you agree the Winter Hill Gang members were bad people? After all, they raped people too, among other things.

both groups are terrible people. I can't justify the thought of them only harming other criminals, it doesn't happen that way and innocent people are always caught in it.

Hey Anon, I'm sorry I messed up. MS-13 didn't rape a disabled girl in Foss Park - they actually raped TWO disabled girls.

MS-13 thrives because we live in a democracy where the rule of law includes innocent before guilty which means that all people - including criminals benefit from a persumption of innocense. MS-13 thrives also because we the voters are greedy: where 50% + 1 voters are bought by promises of ever decreasing taxes - which means ever decreasing government services, including law enforcement and judiciary. MS-13 thrives because we have grown into a society that makes it easy for ciminals to hide via quick getaway cars and cell phones for planning away from police ears.

Many understand that blaming large problems such as gangs on one issue is easy. That is how dictators become masters. They make big promises of pretending to be a savior, blaming all the world's problems on single problems - because most people want easy answers because they are intellectually lazy.

In 39 days we will come as close as ever to an executive leader who wants to play dictator. A so-called leader who stated that he doesn't have time for daily intelligence briefings; probably because he needs time to whine on Twitter about how he is mistreated. He also needs time to continue feeding his insatiable greed.

In 39 days we will encounter a President boy-man who thinks that he can use the military as his personal guard.

Will Trump attempt to usurp the military and turn it to his own personal purpose? He is a narcissistic adult-child who believes that the universe resolves around him. He is surrounding himself with parrots who he hopes are mirror reflections. So I don't put it past him.

Who will he come for first? I hope the folks who sold their souls for someone who promises to make America hate again. Joe McCarthy: We know you're still around.

It will be interesting albeit distressing to watch this lunatic unraveling before the American public - what ever beef one may have with the last few years…fasten your seat belts because it is going to be a rough ride.
