I was just reading up on Boston. The city has had only 4 homicides in the last two months. That city has turned so soft there’s literally no gang activity or street action there anymore. The city used to get 100+ a year then around 60-70 a year now it’s down to 35-50. I predict it will start having years in the 20’s maybe even less.

The funny thing is if you ever see a press conference with the mayor or commissioner they always act like homicide there after a shooting is the norm and like they have an ongoing issue with murder when in fact they have so few cases the detectives have all the time in the world to figure these cases out. Should be a 100% solve rate

Put Boston police or detectives in any other city and their heads would spin they wouldn’t know how to even process.

And when you go to Boston ‘hoods’ there’s so many wankstas acting like they hold there streets down and are about that action when in fact they dont

I don’t want there to be murders there I’m just realizing Boston might be the softest city in the country in 2019

I would have thought New York is the softest city in the country by now with its Canadian crime rates. So what happened to the gangs on the east coast? Did they see the light and become hard working, law abiding citizens?

They all moved to Atlanta and other cities in the South.

It's easier to make money operating in a low profile manner. You constantly having high violence brings too much attention. Generally speaking of course so they didn't go anywhere.

I don't understand the concept behind a hoid being "soft" or "hard". It's either quiet or wild but still the hood.

If you compare Boston to similar sized cities with similar demographics the city should have a bunch more homicides. It now has 12 or 13 after 4 people were just shot 1 fatally 2 hours ago after my original post but for an east coast city it’s just crazy how the violence is so minuscule compared to others within driving distance

Shoulda coulda woulda. Good job perpetuating this idea that poor+minorities=tons of violent crime. This is the mentality that allows this stuff to exists in the first place, by justifying it. NYC has already proven this bogus theory to be false for years now, anyways. Murder shouldn't be something expected out of a city just because they have +20% black population. Coonery smh.

Good on Boston for being "soft" and maturing as a city, glad they're going against the grain.
