Hey, "Ryan"
To the person calling himself Ryan Depalma who left this comment...
...on my post about Justin Stivaletta, the 20-year-old man who "accidentally" shot himself in the head while playing with a stolen handgun, you should expect the Dedham police to be in touch with you shortly, if they find reason to suspect you might have withheld information from them over the course of their investigation in to this matter.
In your comment, you imply that you have some information concerning the means by which Mr. Stivaletta acquired that stolen handgun - as well as information concerning other local youths who may be illegally carrying firearms in your community. I will therefore be forwarding that comment (and others) to the Dedham Police Department in response to this article from today's Daily News Transcript.
Stivaletta picked Glock after fight
And to the commenter going by the name, Jane (who "Ryan" claims is his mother), If that is, in fact, your kid, may I suggest you drag his ass down to the Dedham police station and get him to tell the police everything he knows on this matter, if he has not done so already.

Well, I had taken this post off-line, but the e-mail response was overwhelmingly in favor of restoring it, so the ensuing discussion could continue and be seen by others stopping by.

bob, i can respect and answer you questions. he got the gun from a kid who had stolen it a couple months back, the cops have already arrested him. the got the gun because the week before a fight had broken out at his house with a few kids who are known to be dangerous and he was scared that they were going to come after him. when he had shot himself he had taken the clip out and didnt realize that there was still a bullet in the chamber and he had pointed it to his head(which i will addmit, wasnt smart) jokingly with a friend. ni a lot of guns the trigger wont pull back if the clip isnt in it, a glock .40 isnt one of those guns. and the next thing you know, i lost one of my dearest friends. and i dont mean to flip out but you guys got to chill. if you havent suffered a lost like this then you have no place add your two cents. keep it to yourselves

Stivaletta picked Glock after fight
DEDHAM -- Justin Stivaletta, the 20-year-old man who died in an apparent accidental shooting, got the stolen Glock that killed him for protection, after getting into a fight less than a week before he died, according to police.
Dedham Police Detective Robert Walsh said yesterday that police may be filing charges against the person or people who helped Stivaletta get the gun.
Police need the public's help making a connection between Stivaletta and the theft of the gun during a burglary in March in West Roxbury.
