Two men stabbed in South Boston, possibly in a knife fight with each other; third victim shows up an hour later

No one heard about this because South Boston is becoming a regular regarding stabbings, murders, muggings, robberies etc. With all the money developers have and are proposed to invest in this community you are not going to hear about any crimes unless you look it up. They are not going come out and tell you just how bad it has become in South Boston. You will only hear about something if it is so truly big enough that it cannot be ignored by the media. This is not the safe town it used to be but you will not hear that from any one from the BRA or City Hall. A community is only safe when the residents and merchants of that community stand up and work together to keep it that way. Sadly the old South Boston residents, families with children are mostly gone now. The only reason South Boston was safe to live in was because there were generations of residents living here that all knew each other well and looked out for one another. Like I said, they are mostly all gone now so South Boston has become just another big city with crime statistics that are growing daily. It's the people "in" the community that make a town safe, not the name of the town. South Boston has become over crowded with people, over building, too many vehicles,nail salons & bicycles. No one knows their neighbor and they don't make any effort to get to know them. Maybe we did this back in the day because everyone had children & that was one way to connect to other families. Families cannot afford to live here anymore. Has anyone noticed how on the holidays no one puts Christmas lights in their windows or on their property anymore? When I was a child growing up here, almost every window would be illuminated with some sort of Christmas decoration. It was beautiful to walk around & see them. Now around Christmas it is dark & dreary because the residents are mostly single or college kids that go home to their parents houses for the holidays. They could not be bothered putting up decorations. This is why we need to get much needed affordable housing for families with children so they can live in South Boston. I believe more families will make this a better and much safer community like it used to be. Amen
