Can't have all your stolen eggs in one basket.

Another clueless anon spouting his/her/its political opinion. Yawn.
Sarcasm
Gee even I can understand that this was sarcasm (anon's main comment)
Only because in another thread on this website there is/was a gun debate (or someone troll'd and tried to make it one)
Probably didn't help that the
Probably didn't help that the victim got a clear look at the suspect: teardrop tattoo under eye, face scar and polar bear hat with ear flaps and all...
DTX = Beverly Hills
By all accounts Downtown Crossing will become the new Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive the second the Filene's project is built.
Can Someone please tell the criminals, homeless and junkies that?
I don't think they got the memo.
