Since Each GUN has a number & connected to that number is a licensed buyer and or seller. There should be MORE arrest of the BUYERS/SELLERS whose names are attached to that gun number & the gun ends up in the hands of "lil Joe Smo on the street want to be a ganbanger". Both the Seller/Gun Dealer & the Buyer should be held responsible when "lil Joe Smo want to be a gangbanger" ends up with the gun in his hands. Time to leave the lil man alone & START making arrest based on whose name is attached to that GUN because the PICTURE is way bigger than these teens having guns on the street who is putting them in their hands!

TO BIGGER THAN U KNO
Your right folks need to be RESPONSIBLE for their own actions but the GOVERNMENT NEEDS to take more time researching the history of the GUNS involved a timeline similiar to what they did in the Virginia Tech incident. They do not care about the BLACK Males being murdered that is why there is NO TIMELINE tracing the history of the GUNS involed the murders. That is why each shooting & each murder of our BLACK men go unsolved!!!!!!!They TRACED every detail of the gunman who shot & killed the predominantly white college students from purchasing the gun through purchasing his clothing. My brother was killed - UNSOLVED! My kids father killed - UNSOLVED! My cousins killed - UNSOLVED! My friends kids killed - UNSOLVED!

Wow. "BIGGER than WE Think!" is a prime example of what I was talking about in my previous post about some of the people who are crying and whining about folks getting killed from gun violence and then pointing the finger at the government and law enforcement and just being plain ignorant in general. Hmmmm....maybe if all of you would stop shooting one another then the police wouldn't have so many cases on their hands. Plus, how are the cops suppose to solve these crimes when witnesses don't come forward to speak out and everyone lies to cover one another. Its up to the parents and families and the communities to come together to stop this mess. Think about it a little more before you open your mouth.

BALCO I THINK YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF ALOT PAL,YOU SPEAK OF "IGNORANCE" AND "THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOU MOUTH" BUT DONT THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR'S WHO SAID 'ALL OF YOU SHOULD STOP SHOOTING EACH OTHER IS SO TYPICAL OF SOME ONE WHO'S OUT OF TOUCH, AND ASSUME ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE VIOLENT,I DIDNT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING B.T.W.N SAID BUT JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKED AT THINGS FROM A DIFFERENT VIEW YOU DIDNT HAVE TO APPROACH THINGS THE WAY YOU DID.I AGREE THERE IS TRUTH TO ALOT OF WHAT YOU SAID OTHER THAN THE ,YOU PEOPLE ADDITUDE,AND WHY IS IT ANY TIME A PERSON OF COLOR ASKS TO HOLD THE GOVERMENT ACCOUNTABLE HE/SHE IS VIEWED AS COMPLAINING? ISNT PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS JOINING IN CLASS ACTION SUITS AND COMING DOWN ON GUN MANUFACTORS,WHO KNOWS THAT BILLY BOB IS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY WHILE A FELON DIRECTS SOMEONE ELSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE WEAPONS THAT ARE THEN USED IN MULTIPLE CRIMES?WHO IS TO BLAME IF A MAJOR FOOD COMPANY ALLOWS A TRUCK DRIVER TO DRIVE AFTER HE COMMITS MULTIPLE INFRACTIONS ,THEN KILLS TEN PEOPLE IN TRAFFIC,SHOULDNT THE DRIVER AND COMPANY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN STILL ALLOWED TO DRIVE?IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES THAN GUN COMPANIES HOLD SOME RESPONSIBILITY EQUALLY,SO NEXT TIME INSTEAD OF BEING EMOTIONALLY CHARGED LOOK AT THINGS FROM ALL VIEWS,BECUASE IM SURE IF YOU EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TRAGIDIES DUE TOO GUN VIOLENCE ,YOU WOULD WANT EVERY ONE HELD FOR THE PART THEY PLAYED AND RIGHTFULLY SO,SO LETS STOP ATTACK ONE ANOTHER.INSTEAD WE CAN LEARN MORE BY RESPECTING DIFFERENT VIEWS AND CULTURES.

the reason why white peoples cases getsolved is because people speak up.. well tell the truth... I mean im sure a lot of black people speak up and tell the truth but the people that are actually there during the shooting and witness things wont say anything because they dont want to be labeled a "snitch"

on August 19, 2007 01:19 PM

No Whites get solved because of RACISM in this COUNTRY!!!!They do not care about the Black young men dying they are providing the weapons for them to destroy the BLACK race. Besides when something happens to White people they call in everyone to solve the case for instance the white Jewish girl they had MBTA police, FBI, Boston Police, State Police, DEA, etc working on her case. Not for our black men the Boston Police BARELY & RARELY do any investigating....its like OH WELL another one bites the dust.

how are they supposed to solve a case if no one speaks up??? When a white person does die most of the time it is not gang related.. when a black person dies.. it seems to be gang related... no one in that gang or in any gang is going to speak up or talk... or snitch... how are the police supposed to find a suspect that killed that black man when no one talks... its impossible with out the help of other people!!!

Another point, look at all of the shootings in the Roxbury/Dorchester/Mattapan/JP areas. Areas that are predominately black. Maybe if there weren't so many, they would be able to put effort into solving them. Not to be racist, but most of the black people murdered in these areas would be difficult to track because of the lives lived by the murderers/victims and the people that they associate with. If you live in Roxbury around the Washington St./Ruggles St./Melnea Cass Blvd. area, for example, these people view it as, if they snitch, they are no longer safe because now the gangs are after them. It's a sad reality, but perhaps if the areas weren't so run down and had more legitimate business instead of street life, information would be more readily available and provided.
