"Crime is down, but for robbery; Hub police cite a rise in thefts of cellphones" by Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | December 18, 2008
While violent crime has dipped slightly in Boston this year, robberies have risen significantly, mostly because of a rash of stolen Sidekicks, cellphones popular with teenagers and college students, police said yesterday.... It was the only crime category citywide that increased, and police said they will concentrate on reversing that.
Then why we need the expanded tyranny?
Superintendent in Chief Robert Dunford.... cautioned that the sour economy could lead to other types of problems, including aggressive behavior from people anxious about their jobs or savings. Those angry about the bleak financial climate could lash out at the more vulnerable members of society, he said. "People may want to take out their frustrations on the immigrant community or anyone else they feel is different," Dunford said....
O.K. So WHEN are the FALSE FLAG ATTACKS coming, chief?
Some robbery victims have been homeless and were robbed by other homeless people.
See: Who Remembers Timothy Finch?
Other victims have been Latinos in East Boston who know their assailant, police said, but are nervous about testifying against the robbers, usually other Latinos whom they see regularly in the neighborhood.
Illegals?
A large number of the robberies occur after teenagers get out of school, and officials are worried that theft could keep rising after the holidays, when more students are likely to be texting on Sidekicks they received as Christmas gifts....
Yeah, right, Xmas gifts! Ha!
And while the Boston cops are chasing cell-phone ring tones around the city:
"Police warn women after taxi assaults; 5 attacks reported in area since Oct." by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | December 18, 2008
Boston police are warning women to be vigilant and take precautions when they catch a lift from a taxicab - or what looks like one - after five attacks on women were reported in the last two months....
--more--"Yeah, forget about solving the VIOLENT ASSAULTS of WOMEN in the city!
But the Boston cops got time to cruise the strip, bust brothels, hang out in bars and buy drugs, as well as pose as panhandlers!!
And look at what they are doing up in Maine:
"State Police in Maine scrambling to solve case of the missing eggs" by Associated Press | December 18, 2008
