The Death of Dorchester
My prayers go out to the victims,unfortunately the for sales signs will be going up all over the neighborhood.
Death of Dorchester?
When did you get there? As someone who grew up there, the bad times didn't start in 2008. The good people of Dorchester have been fighting the darkness since the 1960's. For every 1 maggot living a parasitic life there there are 100 who aren't. There are bad people everywhere, there just happen to be more in Dot.
I hear the excuse a lot "oh -
I hear the excuse a lot "oh - well thats just Dorchester." Thats the worst possible attitude to have, and it only increases the perception. I agree - there seem to be more terrible people in this neighborhood thank anywhere else in the city, but nothing is done about it. When my car gets stolen and the police tell me to come to the station to report it - you've got to be kidding.
black male, wearing a Red Sox
That shouldn't be hard to find.
this is very
disturbing
lots of college students seem to be in the area (more than ever)
please ladies, watch your back and don't walk alone
given the geography of the locations, this perp must live in the area
somewhere between columbia Rd and sydney st
hopefully he watches the news and knows we're looking for him and will lay low
