Boston Police report arresting a 39-year-old man they say had a fanny pack with a gun loaded with 14 bullets as he prepared to engage in a fistfight in the employee parking lot of the John D. O'Bryant School on Malcolm X Boulevard in Roxbury yesterday afternoon.
Police say officers responded to the school around 1:50 p.m. on a report of a fight:
Upon arrival, officers observed a large crowd of students running toward the back of the school, where the employee parking lot was located. Officers made their way to the parking lot and observed two adult males in a fighting stance involved in a verbal altercation.
As officers exited their cruiser and approached the two males, one of them, later identified as Jose Cepeda-Irizarry, 39, of Dorchester, fled the scene on foot while clutching a fanny pack around his waist. Officers quickly apprehended Cepeda-Irizarry and recovered a loaded firearm from the fanny pack. The firearm was determined to be a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber loaded with fourteen rounds of ammunition in the magazine.
Cepeda-Irazarry was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm on school property, unlawful possession of ammunition and resisting arrest, police say.
Innocent, etc.

On The Upside....
When this school is moved to the extreme southwest of the city, there will be larger parking lots for people to have fights.
It has to have bigger parking lots because it can really only be reached by car and not really by public transportation unless students are prepared to walk on state roads which don't get plowed all to often or wait for a bus that drops you a bit away from the school.
Having a high school without a nearby public transportation stop and lots of parking spaces in one of the most remote parts of the city is a great way for the city to meet its climate goals.
If the City has anything saying "it's green!" remind them of this idiotic proposal for the O'Bryant in terms of climate goals.
You might as well have a tire dump fire to celebrate the lunacy of this idea.
Yikes
Yeah, that is an inaccessible corner of the City.
The 36 and 37 kind of sort of go near there. The 36 has every other trip to Millennium Park, and some odd trips to serve jobs in the industrial park there. The 37 gets you across the street. I would imagine the T would have to add a bunch of school supplemental trips to make this work. That said, it's 20 minutes from Forest Hills. It's not terrible for kids coming from Hyde Park/Westie/JP or even Roxbury, but Charlestown/Southie/Brighton, ouf. (Brighton would probably mean going out on the 57 to Newton Corner, and then taking the 52 across. Yikes.)
If the T was interested in maintaining and expanding its service (ha!), converting the Needham Line to the Orange Line to Westie would make it far more accessible to everyone. Tying in the existing Needham Line tail tracks to the existing Commuter Rail tracks would be comically easy (they are right next to each other) and the main additional cost would be building a second track past the Arboretum, as well as two new bridges (on existing abutments at Robert and Lagrange). Plus the cost of new, accessible stations, but this is something that should happen anyway. Build a new terminal station at Millennium Park to serve the school.
This only really works if it spurs some new housing development which would require some zoning changes and interest from the neighborhood. But Oak Row on Gardner St has 80 units on 1.7 acres (45 units per acre) and the townhouses under construction nearby 18 on 0.6 (30 units per acre) so the 32 acres of warehouses there could support, say, 1200 units, and the Home Depot site another 500 (it would displace some light industrial use, of course).
It would also put the T closer to the VFW, and the strip malls north of the VFW might be put to better use. Then the Green Line would probably have to be split off at Newton Highlands out to serve Needham. So it wouldn't be cheap, but certainly less complicated and expensive, than, say, GLX (since it would be replacing Commuter Rail, not widening the right-of-way with a bunch of new bridges and retaining walls and flyovers).
20 Minutes from Forest Hills?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
It takes 20 minutes to get to Rozzie Square from Forest Hills...is there some special teleportation that can get to Millennium Park from FH in under 40 minutes?

Bussing?
What does this have to do with bussing? The idiot is 39 years old.
And Busing Is 49 Years Old
There were lots of ding dongs before during and after busing.
If you think pre-1974 were halcyon days, I have a few things I can point out to you.
it was the start of
it was the start of elitist thinking social engineering ,
No
See:
Egypt - 6,000 BC - 500 AD
Jewish expulsion from Spain - 1492.
King Phillips War - 1690's
Hugenots expulsion from France - 1685
Perhaps You Highland Scots Should Move to Northern Ireland and North Carolina So We Can Have The Fields For Grazing - 1700's.
Resettlement of Acadians from Nova Scotia to Louisiana - 1760s
Keep Moving West There Native American - 1607 - Forward.
Let's Knock Down Paris And Get Rid Of The Working Class - 1850's. It will be great. We can have urban planners of today think that all of Paris is cafe's and grand boulevards when they seem to ignore the poverty two miles outside of town.
Lowell, Manchester, Lawrence - 1830's.
The Settlement Housing Movement - US - 1900's.
Eugenics in Vermont, Western MA and other areas - 1930's.
That whole Hitler thing - 1930's - 1945.
China, the USSR, Eastern Europe - All the time.
The Khmer Rouge - 1975.
Gulf Oil State sportswashing - 2010 forward.
I do agree that the suburbanites imposed their will on the working class of Boston in 1974 without taking any of the burden, but at the same time, the Boston School Committee was incredibly responsible for the mess of the school system.
That being said, the efforts of social engineering today are elitist to the core. Rent control efforts are being led by well educated, middle and upper class raised, well paid people who think they are doing good for the working class. (Ha!).
The whole Great Divide thing in the Globe is underwritten by a billionaire couple who lives on Beacon Hill and S'Conset. The upside of their S'Conset place is that you can legally walk through their back yard. Try it. It is fun. I've done it. Great view. It has to be infuriating considering they had to pay many hundreds of thousands of dollars to move their house back from the ocean because of erosion and yet you get to see some ex-Dot Rat BPS grad cutting back from the market to a friend's house.
Well...
Comparing a cliff-notes list of various heinous, genocidal evils from history to a court ordered attempt to address the wrongs of education discrimination is... well... lets just call it ill-advised for a number of reasons.
see roslindale high served
see roslindale high served by charles river and dedham line mta with a little leg work by the students, RHS was Washington Irving in former life whereas WR High was formerly Gardner street dump, should have left well enough alone. now they got a former school is a dump,and missing a dump to boot. thats the foolery of social engineering,
14 in the clip and one in the hole...
Cepeda-Irazarry 'bout to turn bodies cold
Now he droppin' and yellin', it's a tad bit late
O'Bryant and BPD had to regulate
Not his first rodeo
Google lights up like a Christmas tree with this guy. Registered sex offender as a result of a sexual assault a few years back. Articles show he was held without bail for due to a prior charge of receiving a stolen car. Wonder how far it all goes back.
I hope he gets put away for a while before he either ends up killing someone or being killed. We would all be better off with him off the streets. Assuming he doesn't have a license to carry the gun he should face mandatory minimum time unless the DA charges him for a lesser crime.
Hayden may have to do that if he wants to let a certain Patriots cornerback off with a lesser charge after recent exploits at Logan. It seems that law enforcement has had to do a lot of looking the other way to allow that criminal conspiracy of a football racketeering factory off the hook so they can cheat on the field. After all, the owner likes a happy ending!
Knuckleheads gotta knuckle
Jack Jones on Ja Morant's posing with a gun on Instagram:
“@JaMorant dumb … you letting social media and yo pride ruin yo real money,” Jones tweeted. “Put them guns down and run that money up. Make one of yo homie sign up for security or concealed carry if you need it that bad.. but you the bread winner you gotta start acting like it.”

Patriots facing state charges
Jack Jones was arrested by the staties and will be arraigned in East Boston District Court next week which is a state courthouse. So it's not going to be touched by Hayden since he's Suffolk County.
No, he would have oversight
This most definitely would be handled by Hayden's office. He has jurisdiction over gun crimes, regardless of whether the arrests are by BPD, Transit Police or State Police, in Suffolk County, which Logan is part of. The one possible exception might be somebody arrested on federal property or in a federal building, where the feds might take jurisdiction.
Also, technically, the court in East Boston is part of Boston Municipal Court, although the distinction is more of a historical quirk these days, since the state oversees the administration of all courts in the state - but that doesn't affect the Suffolk County DA's office jurisdiction over gun crimes in Boston - and Chelsea, Winthrop and Revere (for that matter, the DA's office is funded by the state as well).
Adult?
39 going on 9.
Who Knew???
People still have fistfights? Now that's really old school.
Unless this guys lost
Then it would be a guy brought fists to a gun fight
