Condolences to your friends and their family. Four teens shot to death in the city just since Oct. 31

Sorry to hear about the death of your friend's young son, anon.

Losing a loved one or friend is painful as it is, but when somebody that young is taken away, especially in cold blood like that, it's even more painful. All my condolences.

I have only followed Boston crime since 2012, but this year has been the worst by far. You can turn scanner on any day of the week and listen for just one hour and hear at least one shotspotter activation or possible shots fired call. The city is closing in on 60 homicides this year and probably 100+ full-notifications shootings (the only reason these people survive us because Boston has the best hospitals in the country). Shootings barely make the news given their frequency this year. BPD will always claim crime is down because less people are being raped and robbed, yet more people shot and more people killed.
