East Boston teen punched, kicked and stabbed repeatedly after telling guys to stop staring at him

Boston Police report arresting three teens for a stabbing last night at 333 Sumner St.:

Officers spoke to witnesses and the victim and learned that the victim was attacked by the three suspects after he confronted them because they were staring at him. The victim reported that the suspects punched, kicked him and one of them stabbed him.

Police say when officers arrived, several people were attending to the victim. With the help of a witness, police say, officers found Edwin Vasquez, 17, Wilmer Velasquez, 17, and Cristian A. Horosco, 17, all of East Boston, hiding behind some plants at the end of Marginal Street by the water. All three were charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon.

Innocent, etc.

That's what you get

Not surprised, but...surprised

I'm not surprised that someone got the crap kicked out of them in East Boston apparently for no good reason.

I AM surprised that they released the names of minor suspects like that. Don't they usually withhold the names of minors?

I believe 17 year-olds are

I believe 17 year-olds are treated as adults with respect to criminal charges.

16's the cut off

Except for murder charges, in which case, it's something under 17.

Juveniles

Their names can't be made public if they are juveniles (between 7 and 17 yrs).

Pussies!...the kid had balls

Pussies!...the kid had balls enough to confront 3 guys staring him down. Not saying it was smart...but the kid had balls...and these 3 wanna-be tough guys apparently weren't intimidating him ...so they jumped him 3 on one like a bunch of fairies and stab him. Real tough guys...3 on one...good job ladies!

"like a bunch of fairies"

Hmmm. Is this comment more misogynist or more homophobic?

Let's see. The bad guys are "fairies" or "pussies" and "ladies," while the brave boy has "balls."

My guess? It's more misogynist, but then it's a close call.

There's certainly nothing wrong with having balls, but then neither is there anything wrong with having a pussy or being a lady or a fairy. Or, even a faerie.

Thanks for the cutting social
