Outrageous, this whole event took place around a so called memorial celebration of a low life who himself got killed by living the New Bedford Gang Lifestyle. They party on a work night, at a VFW hall no less. A group of lowlifes killing over a chair? The problem runs deeper than this, this is a city overrun with criminals who found it easy to set up shop in New Bedford, the crime centers happen to wrap around section 8 and welfare housing. Tax payer money subsidizes all of it. This town is so fearful of these groups that the local Newspaper has become their mouthpiece and is no longer a real newspaper. Try writing a letter or adding a blog to one of their news stories and see how hard it is to get printed. They had a recent news article on this very story and had the entire blog removed because a few intelligent entries where posted in discussion of the failed programs and the growing crime, strangely the entire post was erased when they usually take down only single postings in other cases.

Unfortunately this group is growing in number and we are seeing spillover in all the surrounding communities, we need to rework the welfare and housing programs to rid the cities in towns of these criminal centers and revamp our laws, increase enforcement, and bring back what we have lost, safety in our own neighborhoods!

To the insensitive person who thinks all people that collect welfare and have section 8 are loser newsflash there not. I will have you know i am a single mother of three children who does receive help from the government i also work 40= hours as a rn. times are tough for everyone no matter what the circumstance of someones past they dont deserve to be judged because of thier past . so because this guy had eleven kids has been to jail and his kids live in newbedford they are no good . so if he grew up in a better town never went to jail and still had 11 children it would be ok . u need a serious reality check buddy may he rest in peace
