Is there a 2011 Boston Murder

Is there a 2011 Boston Murder Map, that is not just Dorchester?

Eh...it's just another dead black kid...

Now how about that new hotel attached to the Convention Center?!!

Don't be a tool

Not sure who you're grinding an axe for, but it's pretty clear that Boston media covers murders, regardless of skin color. It's the top local news story at both the Globe's and the herald's sites, and is on all the local newscast web sites.

Gee, Jeff lived here long?

I'm grinding the 24 hour news axe, that's what. Or the no one outside of those neighborhoods really cares about what happens there axe. All talk of murders in certain parts of this city tend to be forgotten when Boston media finds out what Whitey had for supper last night. Or if Sal's pension gets taken away. How about the if the bullet had hit another gang kid in that crowd instead of a 4 yo, then you really think Hizzoner would have made an appearance axe? Pick one, I'm off work today.

Look again,my friend

Sixth story down on Boston.com. Under a Whitey story and the latest on the annual phone booth stuffing contest they call the 4th on the Esplanade. Top story on the left column of the Herald's is the shooting, but the headline is once again...Whitey!

Should be all but gone by the time the guest singer with the Pops is announced.

Top local news story there

And you are apparently getting your episodes concerning dark-skinned Bostonians confused - this thread is about the Dorchester murder last night. Pot, meet Kettle.

Again..small print under the Whitey and Esplanade stories.

I also fail to see your pot reference? Is it a black thing?

Guest singer

Was announced last week. Lionel Richie.

Not a kid

Just updated my post with the latest from BPD: He was in his late 30s.

SMH

Not everyone involved in a shooting is a "thug" or "drug dealer". I am disgusted b/c this was a man who was hanging out late just to be on his way home and killed. Ehh thats just another black kid....tell that to his daughter who's father went to work and paid taxes! Smh have some respect for urself and "colored" ppl. No class.

Victim identified

Boston Police report he was Nicholas Trotman, 38.

Nick was a hard working

Nick was a hard working barber

Nick was a just man

Nick was such a hard working, decent man, he had no right to die like this! They can kill the body, but not the spirit, Nick will LIVE on!
