Trouble at Carson Beach on Thursday Night – Seven Arrested

There’s nothing like kicking off summer with a good old-fashioned beach brawl.  Large crowds swelled and got out of hand at Carson Beach in South Boston on Thursday night.

Around 9 pm, MA State Police, BPD, and Boston EMS responded to a call for multiple fights breaking out. A call went out for more help to regain control of the crowd.  Some beachgoers even began to attack State Troopers.  The beach was eventually shut down, and at least seven people were arrested.

Carson Beach has been the backdrop for summer trouble in the past. 

Hopefully, this is not a prequel to what is yet to come.  Remember this summer? Just recently, Mayor Michelle Wu announced a summer safety plan, which you can read here.

    It’s always the same culprits!!!
    you know who it is and the world is sick and tired of the behavior!!
    It’s not just in America it’s everywhere!!
    Even black people have had it with this behavior.
    The statistics are stunning. Blacks make up 13 percent of the populationg in America and blacks commit almost 60 percent of the crimes.
    Black men are roughly 6 percent of the population and commit over 40 percent of murders and robbery.
    Those stats problematic.
    Why has nothing worked in trying to get those numbers down?
    Be prepared for another summer of chaos and madness at Carson Beach and other beaches is Southie. Isn’t it strange we never had this problem in the 60s,70s, 80s, 90s and mid 2000s?
    The all new Southie has been having this problem for the last 15 to 20 years.
    Only one thing has really changed.
    Everyone knows what that is.
