Massachusetts - Coddling criminals since 1983
Here's today's prime example of the Massachusetts Mentality. In addition to disarming the citizenry making innocent people more susceptible to violent crime, the powers that be are now fighting to protect the lives of these violent criminals.
Suffolk County DA Dan Conley is now pleading with John Ashcroft and federal prosecutors not to seek the death penalty for a drug dealer charged with murder, because it might make people angry.
This is the same policy of appeasement bullshit being spewed out by the anti-war left saying that killing terrorists is bad because it will make them want to kill us more, or, God forbid, it will alienate the U.S. from our "allies".
Boo friggin' hoo. Screw that. Ridding minority neighborhoods of violent career criminals should be the number one priority facing the City of Boston today. Conley needs to grow a set of balls, do his damn job, and let the Feds do theirs.
The violent gangs of drug dealers declared war on the people of Boston long ago. Now is not the time to go back to the feel-good hand-holding policies of yesterday. It's time to take out the trash. And I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over these "community leaders" getting their panties in a twist because if it.
Working together with the police and members of the community is just fine, and can even have some positive impact, but it's time to get real. You don't fight the most violent criminals in our streets with conferences and summit meetings.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, fearful the feds could alienate black leaders helping battle back violence in Boston, is urging Attorney General John Ashcroft not to seek lethal injection for a 25-year-old Dorchester gangster charged with killing a rival.
The Boston DA sent a personal appeal asking Ashcroft to spare Cape Verdean drug dealer Brima Wurie from becoming the third young black male in Massachusetts to face federal execution, the Herald has learned.

The Hub's past success at stemming urban bloodshed has always depended on community leaders and black churches banding together with cops, according to Conley's office.
"District Attorney Conley fears the death penalty could drive a wedge between that membership," said Conley spokesman David Procopio. Conley declined to release a copy of his letter.
