Inaccurate. He replied to a post suggesting that Boston is the new Bronx, with he "wished" that it was. If there is another way of interpreting that, by all means enlighten me. It's pretty cut and dry to me, and should come as no surprise at all if you are familiar with this poster's history.

And it doesnt mean either city actually plays the numbers game. Stick to the fcat s so we can have an honest conversation based in reality not hearsay, stereotypes and prejudice. Thanks.

It's not "rumors", there have been well publicized reports of such. Never said other cities don't do it, nor did I conclude that NYC still isn't statistically safer than Boston. But it was the NYPD that was singled out for doing this, not anywhere else.

Inaccurate. Wror stated that “Boston is the new Bronx” in an attempt to shame Bostonians for protecting local immigrants. Timberline’s response was primarily to **** off Wror; the Bronx does a smattering of things better than Boston, but it’s not a stand-alone city and therefore isn’t worthy of a just comparison.

fine to provide them sanctuary, they'll need affordable housing in the city though.

If they did that. They would disappear.

Nothing you’ve said has made sense-to me at least- and now it seems you’re backtracking with this “it’s not relevant” and “apples to bananas” thing, but unwilling to say so.

Why don’t you quit disparaging places and people you know nothing about and clearly don’t want to know about.

BBMM, I have no idea what you know or don't know about NYC.

That said...

If your NYC knowledge is similar to your knowledge about Providence or the mafia, then I'd guess it's virtually nonexistent despite the big game that you like to talk.

Thank you
It is tiring to try to correct people than have trouble interpreting basic English
I've spent years trying, they remain... behind

Are you his mom?"

My knowledge of providence and the Mafia is pretty solid.

I’ll boil my post there down to this: if Providence was so dangerous then it wouldn’t have only 33 shootings by December of this year; if the mafia was harder to stamp out than the Latin Kings, then the Mafia would be relevant and the Kings would be dormant. You just disagree because in your mind Providence just has to be dangerous because it’s poor and heavily minority (this is the same boogeyman attitude you carry towards the Bronx, Queens and probably immigrants). The Feds have to just be playing around with the Latin Kings because if they could stamp out the mafia it must be soo much easier to stamp out black and Latin gangs, because...they’re black and Latin. Other people have agreed with me and repped me multiple times, on both points. Why it is that you insist on acting like you posses the objective truth is beyond me.

Furthermore, no one ever said they wished Boston was the Bronx so why does that keep getting repeated here.

Can you share one of these well publicized reports?

I must’ve missed it, can you quote what you interpret as wishing Boston was like the Bronx?

I’ll gladly concede on both points if the source is even somewhat reputable (out of my own interests) and the post shows Bronx-envy.

A few on the overall under reporting of crime stats. I remember one quite vividly on a comparison between NYC and some other city re. how they report homicides to the FBI. Basically how somebody would succumb to gunshot wounds 4 days after the fact and NYPD would report it to the FBI as a non-fatal shooting despite the suspect being charged with murder. "City B" would report it as murder should the victim die anytime during entire year. I'll keep looking for it, but that's the problem with these self reporting statistics.

Interpret that how you want.
