Boston Police report they are looking for a limping guy they say robbed a woman about to enter the Zion Apostolic Church, 241 Blue Hill Ave. in Roxbury, last Sunday.

Police say that the man managed to grab a chain from the woman's neck - which included her late husband's wedding band - but that she fought off his effort to also grab her purse. He then fled down Maywood Street, police say.

Police described him as Hispanic, in his mid-20s, with a stocky build. He had a large bruise on his left leg and "may walk with a noticeable limp."

If he sounds or looks familiar, contact detectives at 617-343-4275 or the anonymous tip line by calling 800-494-TIPS or by texting TIP to CRIME (27463).

Robbing someone on the way to church is low even for the thuggest thugs.

A bullet to the temple is the only solution. No one would miss them.

Adam
I suggest you delete this violent murder threat. It's sad that so many people liked it.

My guess is that many people, like me (though I didn't "like it", due to the threat), agree with the first sentence but not the second.

Your government, police department, and justice system ain't fixing it. Recourse options are running thin.

Seek professional help. You need it.

The thief might not get murdered if he's properly arrested, booked, tried, sentenced, and jailed.

Is it that difficult?

Thugs that commit these types of crimes don't care about anyone so why should anyone care about these useless POS's.

If statements like this trigger you maybe the internet is not the place for you.
