Haverhill punks to blame for concert violence?

Two years. you say?

Someone had to step forward and repel the barbarians from the burbs. God knows our police forces didn't but in fairness to them they thought the invasion would be amphibious landing at Carson Beach.

I know, at the time that downtown concert riot was going down, I saw 20-30 kids having almost an old fashioned "rumble" near the Fallon Field basketball courts in Rozzie. They had one guy down on the ground in the middle of the street, kicking and punching the crap out of him. They quickly scattered as blue lights approached. These kids would have messed up those losers in the video; I was worried about that kid, but his friends got him into a car and away.

The depressed mill towns outside the Boston metro area do have some very serious violence problems. Holyoke, Haverhill, etc. are actually worse in some respects than Boston. That being said, it's unlikely they shipped all their violent youth to Boston specifically to pick fights.

...ship the blame everywhere else instead of looking in the mirror.

Joke.

Haverhill isn't really the burbs, unless his definition of suburb is "everything in the state outside of metro Boston".

Where's the this 'city is broken' whiner now?

Up by Lawrence?

Really mumbles?

Is that a new neighborhood? Have never heard that term before.
