Question For The Mayor
Wow, it's a good thing this hard-working resident of Boston didn't have an evil, scary gun on her last night. Something awful might have happened...to her murderer.
...a handgun?
...some pepper spray?
...a stungun?
...a pointed stick?
Wait for it.
Well that came in handy...
...as a getaway car.
The worst part is, even if she had applied for a permit to carry a firearm in the City of Boston, and met all the requirements put in place by the most onerous gun control laws in the country (for the children, you understand), in the eyes of the licensing authority, one's overall fear of the violent crime that runs rampant in these neighborhoods is not sufficient demonstration of the "need" to be able to defend one's self from death or grievous bodily harm.
Do you think I'll get a prompt reply to this?

A Dorchester woman was found stabbed to death yesterday after working the late shift at a Geneva Avenue gas station, her throat slashed and her body badly beaten with a soda crate, police and horrified family members said.
The woman was identified as Lourdes Hernandez, a 39-year-old Dominican Republic native who was working the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift at Lukoil gas station.

Rodriguez said Hernandez was married last November and was working at the gas station while studying to get her accounting license. He said he had worked at the gas station before Hernandez and had once been hospitalized for a week after being beaten during a robbery.
The family was worried about another attack and had helped to buy Hernandez...

...a Honda Accord so she could stop riding her bicycle to work late at night.
Well that came in handy...
Police do not have a suspect or a motive for the killing, but investigators said they are looking for a white 1996 Honda Accord that was stolen from Hernandez after the murder.

Dear Mayor Menino,
In light of the recent vicious slaying of Lourdes Hernandez at the Dorchester gas station where she worked, I have a very simple, straightforward question for you.
How many more innocent, hard-working residents of your city will need to be brutally stabbed, beaten, raped, and robbed before you abandon your progressive, liberal, socialist, "common-sense" (or whatever the fuck you call it these days) approach to "fighting crime" through gun control, which serves only to deprive the people of Boston of their right to defend themselves and their loved ones?
Just give me a number, that's all I'm asking for here. I'm quite curious as to what your cutoff point is.
Signed,
