It's the Guns

Yeah, Right.

Already burdened by a large number of unsolved murders, Boston Police now have a new problem -- a huge spike in violent robberies.

The latest happened early Thursday morning at a 7-11 store on East India Row.

A suspect looking for cash attacked the clerk with a brick before getting away.

Already this year, violent robberies are up 20 percent compared to this time in 2005.


Somebody get me City Councilor Consalvo on the phone! If this isn't an airtight argument for requiring all manufacturers of masonry products in Massachusetts to install satellite tracking devices in their bricks, than I don't know what is.
