It's fucking sad that this shit has to be announced in advanced now....

I thought the focus here was on rowdy teens, and unprovoked attacks? But if you want to pivot to drug dealing, we can....

Let me ask you something, what do you believe will happen if the police arrested all those drug dealers by Chinatown Station and the blue bikes? How long do you believe the dealers will be held for? Do you believe the people buying drugs from those dealers will cease buying drugs?

Even if the police did a big sweep and arrested all the dealers around Chinatown Station (which is not as simple as it sounds, typically the police have to conduct multiple undercover purchases or they have to witness a hand-to-hand transaction come up with reasonable suspicion to stop the individual who just bought the dope, then come up with PC to search their pockets, recover the drugs, then track down the dealer who sold to them... it's not that simple, you got to remember people have rights, and if the police don't follow procedure all the charges will be dropped at arraignment) ..... So let's pretend BPD did a big sweep.... 90% of those street levels dealers will be back on the street the same day, or within a few days if they have outstanding warrants that needed to be cleared up/resolved in court....

So the users will still be on the streets seeking drugs, most if not all the dealers will be back, and those dealers who are still held will simply be replaced by new kids looking to make some quick money.....The best case scenario seems to be that the dealers may move from Chinatown over to a different corner, and then when that corner gets too hot, they will move on to a new one, and eventually will end up back at the Chinatown spot... that's how this shit works.... it's called the balloon effect...

The problem is our drug laws.... We need to just accept reality, and start allowing legal sanctioned organizations to provide clean/tested drugs to users for free/cheap, that's the only way we can begin to start restoring order, and take power away from the unregulated and violent blackmarket...

What do you mean by "put them to work"?

Being the downtown area of the biggest city in New England, groups of rowdy and trouble making teens from all over the region have been flocking to DTX probably going back to the 19th century.. Do you want to age restrict the area? Do you want all teens stopped and frisked? How do you prevent a sucker punch? Just handcuff and detain all teens?

What do you want the police to do? If it's a specific group that can be identified and there's PC for arrest, you arrest them.... but after that point it's out of the cops hands', and up to the prosecutors, and the laws on the books for juvenile offenders won't lock them up.... and it's up to the people at the local level to change the laws...

We need root cause solutions that give teens superior options than hanging around DTX selling drugs, or getting into trouble... More community centers, sports programs, video game centers for kids, dance studios, etc ... just give the kids something to do, and out of trouble.... job opportunities, job training, etc.

Area around BMC, Mass ave and Melnea Cass are really nice for walking this time of year

Agree, just sounds like a sad situation all around, and yet another shining example of why we need more/better resources for individuals dealing with mental health issues or who can't take care of themselves.

I actually am on the clock getting paid very well by my employer who doesn't know I'm fucking around on here.

Is she looking to make some extra bread?

I heard Cadillac Lounge down in Providence is hiring, and they have an intensive training process where she can learn new moves. Also, what's better than getting paid to do something you enjoy?

It is highly unlikely anyone gets charged in this case. It's difficult if not impossible to determine if the infants/fetuses died while she was giving birth, or if they came out alive and then died/were murdered. Even if it's proven the infants were born alive then died, the prosecution will still struggle to prove murder/manslaughter. The only laws in Massachusetts regarding the mishandling of corpses pertain to grave diggers, and the maximum penalty is a $500 fine.

I read something a month or so ago, and it sounded like the lady who lived in the apartment was a recluse who suffered from untreated mental illness. Life is already kicking her ass, I'm not sure why people are so thirsty to prosecute someone that needs help.

Even if a repeat offender with multiple drug distribution convictions on their record is held without bail, if users still want drugs (which they will) a new dealer will simply step in and provide the drugs... it solves nothing .... in fact it could be even more dangerous for the users going to a new dealer who's product they are less familiar with, and increase their likelihood of overdose.
