Just awful.

Fabulously Out There shows us how, at least in East Boston, hell still hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Boston Police report a man who'd just cashed in a $10 winning ticket at Morris and Brooks streets in East Boston shortly after 8:30 p.m. yesterday was jumped by a man and woman:

The victim initially thought it was a friend and attempted to turn around, when he was met with resistance and the female suspect who was wielding a pair of scissors. The male suspect then directed the suspect to give up his wallet. A struggle ensued during which the victim yelled for help and he and the two suspects fell to the ground. A good Samaritan came along and grabbed the male suspect off of the victim, at which time he fled and the victim detained the female suspect.

Steven M. O'Brien, 27, and Jannell Smith, 23, both of East Boston, both arrested.

Meanwhile, around 1 p.m. yesterday, a couple was standing outside the Boylston Street Burger King when:

[T]he suspect approached them and mumbled something inaudible. The suspect then pulled what they though to be a silver knife from his pocket and raised it to one of their necks. The victims, at that time fearing for their lives, and believing that they were being robbed took the money that they had in their pockets and dropped it to the ground. The suspect then took the money and fled from the scene.

Jerry Savory, 53, of Jamaica Plain, arrested and charged.

Meanwhile, around 2:40 this morning, police report arresting a couple of Brighton dudes for disturbing the peace - on Peaceable Street.

Innocent, etc.

Jimbo makes the case. Potential mayoral candidate Michael Flaherty is involved. I'd link to the paper's initial story and the column that has Jimbo upset, but the East Boston Times has kind of a pitiful Web site that is perpetually out of date.

PROJECT BREAD SUPPORTS ‘FOOD AND FUN’ FOR EAST BOSTON KIDS THIS SUMMER
$225,900 in statewide grants aim to help families cope with food and gas crisis

June 27, 2008 — EAST BOSTON — When school is out, kids who rely on free or reduced-price school meals need a safe place to go where they can get a healthy meal and have some summer fun. That’s why Project Bread is providing $11,000 in incentive grants to the Summer Food Service Program in East Boston in an effort to help families cope with the skyrocketing cost of food and gas.

Jimbo notes that 108 representatives voted against casino gambling and so he wonders why the Teamsters have only targeted four of them for defeat this fall, including Carlo Basile of East Boston and Jeffrey Sanchez of Mission Hill, but not House Speaker Sal DiMasi, who probably had a lot more to do with our continuing non-casino status.
