Dorchester killing is Boston's first homicide of 2008

I told him 'yes,' and he said, 'Thank God.' They killed all of us inside. While he was out with his cousins about 12:30 a.m. yesterday, Joseph Clarke called his mother to make sure he was the first to wish her a happy birthday. via Boston.com

You are the definition of a true @$$HOLE! You dont even know what ur saying. Wait till this happens in your family then you'll eat your words. The good thing is that the lil bastard who killed my cousin turned himself in because he knew he was wrong and that he couldnt walk the streets killing someone that everyone loved. But your selfish and ignorant..ROT IN HELL!

Ya, if he walked free, he could kill you! Too bad he won't have that option.
