The Boston Licensing Board this week voted to suspend Durgin-Park's liquor license for two days because of an incident in which a now ex-oyster shucker kept groping a waitress even after she told him to stop and punched him.

At a hearing a couple weeks ago, waitresses testified the man routinely groped waitresses but that nobody thought to tell management.

The board gave Mama Blanca on Saratoga Street in East Boston a two-day suspension for a brawl that left one man missing half an ear.

The Bar Room on Broad Street lost its liquor license for three days because of an incident in which the bar confiscated a gun from a drunk man trying to enter the establishment and then didn't tell police about it for almost a day.

The establishments decide when to shut down. They can also appeal the punishments to the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.

Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley says a Boston police officer and a state trooper "acted appropriately" in a shootout that ended with teenager Manuel DaVeiga's death on Navillus Terrace in Dorchester last April.

Boston Officer Greg Bowden and Trooper Walter Foley both fired at DaVeiga after he shot at them at point-blank range in the April 3 incident, which Conley said began when members of the Youth Violence Strike Task Force approached him during an investigation and he drew a gun and then ran. In a letter to BPD Commissioner Ed Davis and State Police Col. Marian McGovern, Conley wrote:

Our thorough review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting of Mr. DaVeiga determined that two members of the Boston Police Youth Violence Strike Force fired in self-defense after Mr. DaVeiga fired multiple shots at officers, disregarded the safety of other citizens in the area, and ignored verbal commands to drop his gun. The altercation ended only when Mr. DaVeiga - having already fired at least five rounds at pursuing police officers and troopers - put the gun to his own head and fired.

Tommy Donahue, whose father Michael was one of the 19 people Whitey Bulger is charged with murdering, talked to reporters after the court appearance yesterday:

Don't be fooled by this old man. ... He's a scumbag ... I hope he gets the chair.

Read the 1995 indictment against Bulger and his cronies for racketeering (1.6M PDF file). Somebody let Maria Stephanos at Channel 25 know; she tweets this morning:

I consumed a steady diet of Whitey all week and I'm still not full. What's wrong with me! #newsjunkie

Globe: Back in the town he terrorized. Herald: Whitey Bulger’s lawyer tab is in Billy’s court.

FBI can't imagine why people are so quick to believe it didn't want to catch Bulger. Marky Mark thinks there's another movie in the Bulger story.

Peter Gelzinis writes the guy's still a murdering thug. Howie Carr doesn't want to pay for Bulger's lawyer. Joe Fitzgerald sternly warns black youth: Whitey's no role model.

Kevin Cullen says guy's no Alzheimer's patient. James Carroll considers the last act in an Irish tragedy. Adrian Walker says nothing new.

Suffolk Superior Court Judge Patrick Brady today agreed with Suffolk County prosecutors that Jose Gonzalez of Somerville is too dangerous to release on bail while he awaits trial on charges he sliced up his girlfriend in a car in the South End, then dumped at Boston Medical Center.

Brady's determination that Gonzalez poses a threat to the public comes despite his girlfriend recanting her original story that he sliced her fingers off in a fight early on April 2. According to the DA's office:

She testified that she was in the defendant's car, saw a folding knife in the door's map pocket, and was bringing it to the defendant outside the car when she tripped and fell. The woman testified that the knife closed on her hand, severing her left pinkie, and that she then cut off her right pinkie as she tried to remove the knife.

Gonzalez, 32, spent seven years in state prison for a shooting and has past convictions for unlawful firearms possession.

Innocent, etc.
