Red tuxedos to a funeral. But no relation to a gang...

That’s like a scene out of a Guy Richie movie or something. 12 “Spanish” guys in Red Tuxs beat a man to death.

You can dress up a thug but they are still a thug. There must more detail to this story for it to make sense. I don’t believe that these guys were not in a gang, or at least used to be, despite the statement by police.

Why do they always fail to mention the name of the establishment where the incident occured? Seems that the public deserves to know where crimes are committed.
Any one know the place? We are visiting Boston in Sept..just curious.
