How is this keeping victims of worse crimes safe? Then the Media writes their version. Stop your propaganda. I have children for crying out loud. Front page for a stolen cell phone?”No, not for a stolen cell phone. Front page for a Boston City Councilor who proposed sweeping budget cuts to the B...
