Boston Police report a man was stabbed repeatedly around 2 a.m. on Sunday at Commercial and Chatham streets, but that he is expected to survive.
In an area like that, police figure, lots of people probably whipped out their phones and started taking photos and video:

Closing times.
I still think that later closing times are a bad idea. What happens at 2am now, will just have more (meaning multiple instances) at 4am.
I know it's a big scary world. I am cowering in my abode, fearful of progress and the march of time.
Have a nice evening everyone!
Then how come NYC has lower
Then how come NYC has lower crime rates than Boston?
It doesn't
It doesn't
Manhattan maybe
but you get into the Burroughs and its not even close.
Is there any proof
That later closing times leads to more of this? What about the rest of New York State? It's not just NYC that has 4am closing times. Long Island, Syracuse, Buffalo, Saratoga all close at 4am and it's not anarchy on the streets. What's the worst that happens if Boston went 4am and turned ugly? You roll back to 2am? On that note, if 2am is so bad, what time should bars close? Midnight? 11? 9?
I'm referring to
crime rates not the time drunks can get their last scorpion bowl in Chinatown.
Stabbing
Who exactly is whipping out their cell phone to film a stabbing at 2 am?
That's an easy one
The same sort of people who whip out their cell phone to video bouncers beating people on Canal Street.
How
How is that moron still in business Adam? That seems to be pretty common at thAt place
They'll film
before dialing 911.
Actually Boston as a whole
Actually Boston as a whole has some higher crime than some of the Burroughs's in NY just not all of them combined
