Boston eh?

You got a killing every other day in the Black neighborhoods of Boston.
Recently, one Black girl was shot in the middle of the day.


I see you still have trouble with basic math. I even gave you the
exact numbers a few months ago, but apparently it is beyond your
comprehension. Its true that Boston is in the midst of a major murder
spree, but the number is more like 70 murders a year. While this is
clearly high for the state, it is actually fairly low compared to
similar cities. Also, only about half of these are in the so called
"Black neighborhoods," so the gang related murders are less than one a
week.

Massachusetts, of course, has a very low murder rate compared to the
rest of the country. The city I live in is rated as the safest city
in the country.


Ever see any of the yachtsman here post about that? Nope,, can't be
bothered.


None of the the yachtsmen bring up that point. You, on the other hand
seem obsessed about it; this is the second time this year you've
blatantly misrepresented the truth.
