Roslindale credit union held up by man without a belt
By adamg on Fri, 03/27/2015 - 2:21pm
Tremont Credit Union, 10 Corinth St., around 2:15 p.m., by a black male, thin, about 20, 5'10" in a gray jacket - and pants that he had to hold up to keep from falling down. He said he had a gun. Ran down Corinth towards Washington Street.

Maybe he needed the money to buy a new belt.
Just when I thought ole Rozzi
was becoming THE place to live in Boston
Well
Belts are a sign of privilege!
Yuppies
Tell me again about how yuppies have ruined Roslindale.
Sure
How about this monstrosity 20 ft from the bank.

You win
It's a small kinetic sculpture - this is your problem with Roslindale? The mind boggles.
zzzzzzzzzz

Well
The guy is young, he is urban, and once he scores that belt money, he'll probably be looking professional.
But the inflows of people with larger incomes putting pressures of housing prices and rents- that's how yuppies have ruined Roslindale. Heck, eventually the locals will be resorting to robbing banks just to make rent. That and this whole "anti-chain" BS they have brought to the area.
Roslindale has not been
Roslindale has not been ruined in any way. The "yuppies" you're referring to are mostly people with young families, many of whom are very involved in all sorts of community endeavors that benefit everyone like parks upgrades, playgrounds, the library, festivals, etc. Please stop trying to divide neighbors. And I'm not sure if I'd qualify as a yuppie or not under your definition, as my family on both sides goes back multiple generations in Rozzie but either way, enough already.
Chill, man
You're way too thin skinned about the neighborhood to be "from" the neighborhood. Me, I'm first generation Roslindale-born and on one side first generation American-born, and I have lived through when no one knew Roslindale existed to it being the hottest spot (a bit of an overstatement, but still) so I know the place.
Yes, everyone benefits when things are on the upswing, even though part of that is a plan to keep businesses from moving in (something Vaughn and I agree on,) but if you are in fact a Rozzie guy, you must know a few people who had to leave the neighborhood because they were priced out. It's not a good thing. A good thing is that all the saps that decamped to Walpole back in the early 90s when the neighborhood was "going to hell in a handbasket", meaning, of course, that people a shade darker than a Sicilian were moving in, ended up kicking themselves when the opposite happened.
Of course, I was just yanking Vaughn's chain. The line about the sculpture (which I like) was much better. Awesome work.
I know people all over the
I know people all over the city who have had to leave due to the price of housing. That's one of the biggest issues facing us. Of that there can be no doubt. Doesn't mean I think the young families moving in have ruined the neighborhood though. As I said, it's not about dividing people. That's it.
Not a blanket indictment
But when I saw people from JP beginning to overbid for houses, I got the feeling things were "changing."
Could this be linked to the Chinatown robbery?
Like, did he steal the rotund dude's pants?
*drumroll*
If he buys garters with the money can he get a suspended sentence?
The pants on the
ground robber.
Poor preperation
If he has one hand holding a gun, and the other holding up his pants, that's gonna make grabbing the money and stuffing it into pockets etc. all that much harder and slower.
If bad guys were smart...
They'd figure out this formula:
A: Guns are heavy
B: Gun in your wasteband, tends to make your pants sag, even with a good belt & holster. Can't imagine carrying 5 or 7lbs on your hip with no belt.
C: Gangbangers seem to prefer saggy pants.
D: Cops seem to make a lot of stops based on "suspect holding his waste area in a manner to indicate carrying a gun".
A + B + C + D = Cops taking guns off the street.
So glad they're not smart.
We live in the city - this
We live in the city - this stuff happens.
Multitasking
He wanted to see if he could hold up two things at the same time.
