Statistically though Boston

Statistically though Boston reported crime rate is historically at its lowest.

Sarcasm?

I honestly can’t tell. I know a lot of people say that, but it certainly feels the opposite. Also, what’s up with all these kids having guns. I know statistic is way up historically.

I mean

37 homicides with 2 weeks to go in the year is a lot less than we were seeing in the 1980s and 1990s, though that's no consolation to the family and friends of those 37 people.

Sounds like an assassination

Sounds like an assassination not a random shooting. Whoever did this made sure Idelfonso was dead.
