Murder in East Boston
Murder in East Boston according to BPD News
What is up with this area of
What is up with this area of the city? In the past few months, there have been more shootings in a 10-block radius of this one than in any other part of the city. So much for the South End being safe!
Hope BPD can get on top of this; daytime & evening shootings are seriously scary stuff!
" In the past few months"
Where have you been, it been happening every summer for the past few decades!
Are you kidding? South End
Are you kidding? South End suppose to be safe? Let me guess, your realtor told you that?
South End isn't safe!
We moved from the South End to Dot a few years ago. At the time, all of our South End friends thought we were crazy moving to Dorchester. Now? 3 of them have followed us and we all feel safer here than we ever did in the South End.
In Dorchester, there are pockets where there's a lot of crime (it's these areas that give all of Dorchester a bad reputation) but in the South End/Roxbury-just-over-the-border area, there's crime of all kinds everywhere. Including mid-day shootings.
I'm not sure why crime in the South End gets underplayed on the news, etc. but I feel badly for people who move there thinking it's this super safe area of the city. Because it's definitely NOT crime free.
I hope the victims of both shootings in the past 2 days recover but man, I sure am glad I don't live there anymore!
Wow

I see a lot of shootings and
