Bring Out Your Dead (Horse)
Police in Boston arrest a man yesterday for the Aug. 1 shooting of an 11-year-old boy at a city playground.
Pop quiz time (this one's a toughie).
The suspect, Kirk Gordon is:
(a) a licensed gun owner whose gun must have off accidentally while he was cleaning it.
(b) a law-abiding citizen who, upon obtaining a License to Carry, was magically transformed into a crazed, maniacal killer.
(c) a poor misunderstood individual driven to a life of crime by the irresponsible fiscal policies of the Bush administration.
(d) a violent career criminal with no respect for the law or human life - who had been previously let free on low bail awaiting trial for stabbing five men.

Hmmm...there's an armed violent thug who lives in my building. Do I go to the police and risk having him find out it was me who dimed him out, given that the politicians who run this state have done everything in their power to render me defenseless against any retaliation on Mr. Gordon's part? I'll take "Keep My Fucking Mouth Shut" for $400, please, Alex.
How about you provide them all with 'round-the-clock armed security personnel or let them carry firearms to defend themselves and their families? You know, the "rights" that you get to enjoy every day. Then maybe they'd feel like helping you rid their neighborhoods of these dangerous individuals.
Here's more on this scumbag, Kirk Gordon...
A regular choirboy. And yes, OF COURSE, we have to be subjected to this, from a woman who answered the door at the house listed as Gordon's residence:
Amen.

After the Gonzalez shooting, police and city officials complained about a lack of witnesses coming forward in that attack and several killings, saying the lack of cooperation hampered investigators' ability to solve the crimes.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley also spoke, asking witnesses to keep assisting authorities, because the investigation is ongoing.

In another case involving Gordon, the 2001 graduate of McKinley Vocational High School pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court on May 10 to two counts of assault and battery as part of a plea agreement with Conley's office, according to court records.
As part of that plea agreement, Suffolk authorities dropped a carjacking charge against Gordon. Superior Court Judge Charles Spurlock then sentenced Gordon to 364 days imprisonment, the amount of time Gordon was held at the Nashua Street Jail awaiting trial, court records show.
Gordon is awaiting trial on five counts of assault with a dangerous weapon in the stabbing of five men with a 6-inch knife on an MBTA train in June 2002, according to David Procopio, a spokesman for Conley. Gordon, who allegedly stabbed one of the men in the chest, another man in the shoulder, and another in the back and shoulder, was released after posting bail.
He was indicted on the five assault counts in December 2002 and a hearing had been set for Sept. 9. Gordon's lawyer, J. Lawrence Kelly of Quincy, has filed a motion to suppress evidence authorities are hoping to use against the 23-year-old Mattapan man, records show. Kelly did not return calls seeking comment yesterday.

"Kirk is the type of person that everyone who knows him and anyone who associates with him knows how deeply he loves," the woman said. "And tries to live his life in a manner that befits the way he was raised."
Amen.
