Decosta Turner, 17, of Roxbury, was arrested yesterday morning at 71 Pontiac St., allegedly after breaking into an apartment, and police say he may be responsible for a string of recent burglaries in the neighborhood:
Upon arrival, officers spoke with the victim who stated that he observed a young black male in his apartment who pulled a knife out and stated "I am taking you stuff". The victim stated he went into another room, locked the door and called the police. The victim stated he waited about two minutes and looked out of the room to see that the suspect had left.

Shame.
It's a shame that the Mayor and the BPD have made it so difficult for law-abiding citizens of the city of Boston to arm themselves in self-defense of thugs like this kid. How sad is it that a grown adult has to run and lock themselves in a room because this piece of shit pulled out a knife?
This kid should consider himself lucky he doesn't ply his trade in my neck of the woods. Most NH homeowners wouldn't retreat.
