Boston Police are investigating two similar robberies tonight on Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester and Mariposa Road in Mattapan.
Around 9 p.m., a man walking in front of 911 Blue Hill Ave. was robbed by two black teens, one of whom pulled out a shotgun or long rifle from his hoodie. That guy was described as 18, 5'9" and 220 lbs. and wearing dark shorts. His accomplice was 5'8" and 180 to 190 lbs. and wearing a dark top and dark shorts.
About 20 minutes later, two men were held up by two men, one armed with a shotgun or long rifle, at Mariposa and Sefton streets in Mattapan.

Murder rates were at record highs in Boston in the early 1990s. Gangbangers were often NOT locked up (Columbia Point Dawgs as prime example), and you had one entire neighborhood where murders went unsolved because nobody would talk.

Progress in medicine has kept more shooting victims alive when 20 -30 years ago they would have died. So less "murders" even though more guns, more shootings.
And what causes the revolving
