Man stabbed to death on Massachusetts Avenue; second Methadone Mile murder in five days

You are 100% correct because I've spoken with multiple detectives and officers, and you can also see them just sitting there in various places but in an obvious perimeter around the area, and I've also been told they are not allowed to go into the shelter because self-injection is allowed, and drugs are obviously NOT legal. these sites are not supposed to have drug dealers freely walking around selling pills and all kinds of dope
. I was down there trying to look to see exactly where my son was murdered on July 31st and a guy started going nuts. store and get out, take a right out of the parking lot and your first left, and you will enter hell. People walking around in a total days, falling asleep standing up, yelling and bugging out from meth, Coke, and dope. The mayor's brainchild is the 10th here and he throws a couple million dollars to the Boston health commission now and then to show he's a good guy. , and also to keep the junkies in one place because God forbid they spill over into the nearby hightower residential buildings, or any other neighborhood nearby
But you'll never catch him down there. He was invited to a memorial tomorrow but not only did the memorial get ignored, and isn't happening although( I'm the one that was invited not the other way around,) but also the staff member who selflessly came running out not knowing if he'd been shot if the guy had left accentra and ripped his shirt off and applied pressure, and help my son talking to him until he was unconscious.
The staff down there needs support. But the mayor can't be bothered to stamp a signature on a citizen bravery award? The staff needs to know that they are supported by the mayor and the others that give them a tiny paycheck. SIN CITY INDEED.

looks like they forgot the part where they admit to doing next to nothing about the "drug abuse, prostitution, violence and other forms of crime" that goes down there day in and day out.

i have actually lost count of how many times i've seen drug deals and drug use on Southampton, Mass Ave and the Mass Ave extension over the years - in plain view of police officers sitting in their squad cars.

BPD and the city of boston have been content to let methadone mile fester into what it has become. they shouldn't get praise when a murderer is captured quickly in an area where police presence is intense but seems otherwise apathetic towards actual policing.
