Nothing was done about this problem for over 4 years. Now its an epidemic, exploiting woman and young girls. We are all to blame.
Boston is a shit hole!! Michelle Wu is a Communist pig.
The voters in Boston are brain-dead,Boston public schools,thank you.
look at the majority of names. What does that tell you?
Yes does sanctuary city come to mind.
What will it take to snap people out of it and start voting for people are for stopping this insane liberal/communist bullshit!!!
Boston is loaded with illegal aliens and many of them are the worst criminals around.
For some reason Wu and the rest of the DEI members of the city council love and treat these illegal aliens better than natural born citizens of Boston!
Do you see the city taking care it’s poor and struggling citizens? absolutely not!!
They’ve spent billions on these criminal illegal aliens.
They are all criminals!! If you are here illegally you are in fact a criminal!!
Why does the media try to play that down?
They want people to be confused and they want to cover for these liberal politicians.
It’s disgusting what the media has become over time.
This is a huge reason nobody believes or watches the mainstream media anymore.
We have seen how the media works over the last 50 years and people have had it with the lies and propaganda.
That combination of corrupt media and corrupt Democrat politicians has woken everyone up.
There’s so much corruption in Boston and Massachusetts you would not believe!!!
Nothing is ever done about it!!
YOU DO SOMETHING💯 Instead of Running Your Mouth 🙄Run For Office👏
To Revolution Men – well said.
Boston has one of the lowest crime rates for a major city, and is a highly desirable city to live in. End of story. Revolution Men needs to try new meds.
Dear Revolution Man et al.
There’s always someplace else you could live, like where your ancestors came from. Remember them, those immigrants. Maybe you’d like to try a place like Haiti, or Russia or China. My point is this is the safest city, with the most educated population in the country. Sure it needs improvement but like Patricia Hain said above, “YOU DO SOMETHING.”…..and maybe you could be brave and sign your NAME next time.
Who ever that writer was explaining his or her feelings about Mayor wu is right Boston is a shit whole and natural born citizens and I am talking about the enslave children and everyone else whose family was on this land from slavery days is treated like a guest in this country and the focus is on nothing but immigrants. immigrants this immigrants that and that is only because the people who are the politicians are immigrants and their family too. I mean immigrants who came to this country willingly and are ciphering all the resources from true Americans. Major Wu made it hard for me to leave my generational wealth to my family because as she said the housing market is in need of housing and why is that because immigrants is taking over housing government benefits and the list go on. I have nothing against these immigrants but don’t treat true bostonian like they are tge guests. one more thing those people rallying for the immigrants are immigrants and families of immigrants and they have all tied up in the political arena.
