The victim, a Hyde Park resident whose name has not been released, remains alive but brain dead at Massachusetts General Hospital, according to Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney's office.

Well then he is dead isn't he? Brain dead means dead. These a**hats should be charged with murder.

Out for "a bit of the old ultraviolence"?

What have we got here, Irish gangbangers joining up with Latino gangbangers??

Lynn, Lynn the city of sin. You never come out the way you went in.

If they are in a gang - that may explain the red tuxedoes. Odd - yes, but it may have been their strange way of wearing their colors to the funeral.

[HollyB]

Why don’t you think they are part of a gang? Just curious.

Benalfew is not Hispanic. It seems to be Ethiopian. Flaquer is a French surname but the first name is Hispanic.

The statement by the attorney was what had me a little confused when I read it.

A "Rainbow Coalition" of thugs. Just like in Hollywood movies.

The “Spanish” guys could actually be Portugese as there is a large Portugese community in Massachusetts. They would be incensed if you labeled them as “spanish”.

Where is the next Corona moment with Obama and the lying media?

Where is the second Boston area “beer moment” Hussein?

You cannot say the truth in America anymore, a paid government thug army (SEIU, ACORN, Color of Change and the syncophatic MSM continue to deny interracial crime)

No border; more welfare; more Communism. The Chicago Way of the Marxist Kenyan.

Oooh-oooh, Fender Bender.

The Portuguese community in Massachusetts is—or was—mostly fishermen and honest workers.

Oh, not bad.

I was thinking either “The Warriors” or the movie musical/fight scene from “Blazing Saddles” gone horribly, horribly wrong.
