Boston is 44 percent white and 23 percent black. Our friends at The Boston Herald have just confirmed if the city had no black population, it would have no fatal/nonfatal gun violence. [Boston gun violence concentrated in four neighborhoods, Boston Herald, April 8, 2023]

A weeklong workshop aimed at reducing gun violence in Boston concluded that most of the crimes were occurring among a small number of people in four neighborhoods, with primarily Black men harmed.

The data, compiled by the Boston Police Department, show serious violence was highly concentrated in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan and Roxbury from 2018 to 2022, according to a presentation provided by the city.

Further, 84.6%, or roughly 115 of the city’s 136 homicide victims, and about 78%, or 49 of 63 homicide offenders from 2020-2022 were Black, with the majority of these crimes committed by or killing men in general.

“We will not tolerate any neighborhood feeling like residents have to live in fear of violence or experience loss that ripples down, generation after generation,” Mayor Michelle Wu said at a Friday press conference in Roxbury. “We have the resources. We have the expertise. We just have to put it all together.”

The data presented at this week’s Violence Reduction Center Cohort, a new training program for law enforcement, community leaders and service providers, will help Boston target intervention strategies, as it grapples with a spike in homicides, said Isaac Yablo, Wu’s senior advisor for community safety.

“We do have a lot of short-term solutions, in terms of employment opportunities, education opportunities, mentorship opportunities,” Yablo said. “But the solution is to address root causes and reinvest into the communities that have been most impacted.”

This week’s training sessions, hosted by the University of Maryland Violence Reduction Center, concluded that both long- and short-term solutions, involving a blend of criminal justice, social service and community interventions, are needed to lessen gun violence in Boston, according to the presentation.

The city’s participation in the new program comes as homicides are on the rise there. According to Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, homicides are occurring at more than twice the rate as this time last year, 11 compared to five, and outpace the five-year average of 9.5, during that time period.

Thirty-one of the 180 shootings that occurred last year were fatal, a higher number than the 27 gun-related homicides that occurred in 2021, but lower than the 45 BPD recorded in 2020, according to department data.

The mean age of homicide victims and offenders was nearly identical from 2020-22, at roughly 32 years old, but each group included people as young as 14. A rise in juvenile firearm arrests was seen from 2018-20, 9.8% to 18.4%.

The data also show most homicide victims and offenders were known to the criminal justice system before the event occurred, at 74.4% and 84.1%, respectively.

Further, 36% of 1,045 shootings from 2018-22 were gang-related, which the Boston Police Department described as a “very conservative estimate due to data limitations.” BPD data suggests there are 85 gangs, with roughly 1,800 members.

Yablo said the city’s investment in neighborhoods most impacted by gun violence will target “those people that are closest to the pain.”

One of these interventions will be a healing tour, an idea first discussed in October, by community leaders trying to figure out a way to speak to residents in the four neighborhoods most impacted by violence, said Donnell Singleton, CEO of DS Consultants.

ORDER IT NOW

The community-led tour, which will launch in the coming weeks in partnership with the city, “is about giving the community an opportunity to heal from things that we’ve yet to heal from,” Singleton said, citing busing, the crack epidemic and unaffordable housing as past traumas impacting Black residents.

“I’m a Black man who suffers from PTSD, which is real,” Singleton said. “In case you don’t know what that is, that’s post-traumatic slavery syndrome. We’re still dealing with the aftermath of that.”

Yes, busing, the crack epidemic and unaffordable housing (living near law-abiding white people) is the reason black shoot other black people…

Imagine if every major U.S. city had a police department publishing comprehensive racial data on who/whom is committing violent crime? Perhaps we could craft coherent social policy once discernible patterns emerge.

In a more civilized time, we called this Jim Crow. We called this an America ruled by the Naturalization Act of 1790.

    Well Mr. negro, what could possibly be THE root cause? As everyone, including your low iq self knows, it’s creatures that unsurprisingly look like you. So the obvious solution is get rid of you and your fellow simians and reinvest in rebuilding/refurbishing what you animals have degraded and destroyed, so normal humans can return.

    “AFFH”- ruining public schools in striving white areas so they are less competition for elite whites.

    Those are 4, there others….

    I find the national divorce idea intriguing. I highly doubt a clean break will ever occur, but it’s fun to think of the consequences smug liberals would face after the split. They could happily live in their 75% black cities, signaling their virtue as they dodged bullets, hopped over feces, and tried to avoid physical altercations with the homeless armies… that pretty much sums up modern day big cities in America now that I think of it! But at least for a while, they couldn’t blame it on anyone else but themselves. Now undoubtedly, once it got bad enough, their corrupt leaders would blame all the problems on the Right-Nation, and lead them to war which they’d gladly do. But at least that’d give us a path to salvation!

    What year is this? I’ve been reading articles like this for 50 years now. More employment opportunities for blacks means fewer employment opportunities for Whites. Major companies like Fed ex, Target, CVS every supermarket and Walgreens are pressured extorted and forced to hire black parolees. Walgreens hires so many it is known as PP parolee pharmacy.

    23 percent black population a miracle Boston isn’t Chicago.

  9. Shamu says:

    But Hollywood and various academics and law enforcement agencies make it very clear that all the bad crimes in Boston are committed by Irish Catholics. Surely they would not lie to us.

  10. Yawn, what else is new? Same story, different city, out of control negroes raining death and destruction on society. Meanwhile, let’s blame White supremacists.

  11. So they spent probably millions of taxpayer dollars to come to the same conclusion any of us who actually live/have lived in areas like this could have told them for free?

    Truly, here are our tax dollars at work (all the rest is just outright stolen).

    Think about that next time you clock in.

    Another black “leader” clueless about the violence, and whining about slavery. He was never a slave and is about 150 years removed from slavery, yet here he is blaming black violence on anything, and everything except blacks themselves, and the punk, thug culture they embrace. Do we all know how to spell “S T U P I D!?!”
    I am so race fatigued by such ignorant slugs. My mother taught me not to get too upset at do-gooders who mess up spectacularly, because they meant well, and it isn’t healthy to get angry about so many people. This however is an entire race of idiots. Lucky for them that they are black, otherwise the world would laugh at them and tell them to grow up. I am unable to laugh at their stupidity. It’s not their race holding these anacronistic farm implements back, it’s their constant refusal to embrace Western Civilization and thought that holds them back. That refusal is really based, not on any reason except for their inability to compete with a smarter group. Good grief! How effin’ hard is it for their “leaders” to figure out.

    I am for an “assault weapons” ban but only if an “assault weapon” is officially defined as “a Black male, between ages of 14 and 64.”

    That would quickly significantly reduce the murder crisis in America.
    After all, most murders and much crime are not caused by guns, but by Black males ages 14-64, USING guns, knives, etc.

    O T

    Let us give thanks for the African American community
    I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.

    Brig. Gen. “Shan” Hackett (The Third World War) warned 40 years ago
    of the “disproportionation of society”, a split into low-tax/low-crime/polite-police/
    no-gibs areas on the one hand and high-tax/high-crime/high-gibs/police terror
    fiefdoms on the other; this is more or less what we are observing now, but the
    result will not be a “divorce” but violent upheaval …
    I am less concerned about the color-coded ones – unlike their handlers they cannot
    hide, three quarters are too fat to run and the rest cannot shoot worth shit 😛

    These urban gun crimes will be what causes massive gun control and gun disarmment..

    Black Americans are citizens of the US just like Whites and Latinos, etc, but they have horrible gun ownership qualities…

    Use a gun properly, not shooting up everything in your sight.

    Jeez.

  25. … that’s post-traumatic slavery syndrome.

    Note that this fellow can not identify the actual problem, which is blacks killing people. There seems to be something in the psychology of many blacks which is unable to comprehend the connection between cause and effect. Instead, they are being afflicted by magical thinking syndromes, terrible legacies ™, shots ringing out and streets going wrong.

    Well, scratch Boston off the list of once great American cities. That’s the signpost up ahead, the Syndrome Zone.

    https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/16/us/detroit-mother-dies-childbirth-reaj/index.html

    Washington, a Black mother from Detroit, died at Harper University Hospital one day after giving birth via cesarean section to her 12th child, a boy named Nathaniel.

    Pouncey, who is now raising Nathaniel and her daughter’s 11 other children, says the pain of her loss has been made worse by confusion about what led to her death.

    Pouncey says her daughter went to the hospital alone to give birth because her husband is incarcerated, and she had to stay home caring for her other grandchildren.

    Pouncey is leaning on her faith to move forward and raise Washington’s children, ages three months to 19, she said. And she’s thankful for the donations that helped the family buy a bigger home and a reliable vehicle.

    Need to revise that. There have been several murders recently committed by 12 year old niglets, some female.

    Just to be safe, I would say all blacks (not “Black”) ages 11 to 80, of both sexes.

    Downs Syndrome and the low IQ are an abnormal condition that causes a functional deficiency and is physically evident.

    A dog has a much lower IQ but functions well as a dog because it is normal.

    For Africans, the low IQ is normal, and they function as Africans and the low IQ does not set them apart from other Africans.

    I don’t know if Africans get Downs, but if they do it might not affect IQ because it is already low. But even if it gets lower it would probably not be much different than many “normal” negroes on the left side of their Bell Curve, many of whom are really unbelievably dumb. In any case, they would probably be just as violent or even more so than “normal” negroes.

    I would be curious to see what an “African mongoloid” looks like but don’t feel like spending the time to research it.

  40. My family lived in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood until 1962, when I was nine. It was almost entirely white, with the possible exception of the family who ran the Chinese laundry. The only problems of note were the guys raising Hell on the street corner on a warm summer night, when everyone had their windows open as air conditioning wasn’t yet a thing. As a six to nine year old kid I rollerskated or biked all over and parents weren’t concerned. If anything happened to you, everyone knew where you lived and would get you home. Then “blockbusting” happened. We got out early.

    Thank God! I hope some Angel of Mercy on the hospital staff said,’ enough is enough’ and gave this welfare leech a hot shot and sent her off to Groid Heaven.

    I’ve already figured out why she died. She was a typical ghetto land-whale. I just knew, when I read this story, that that would be the case. Seeing her picture in the article confirmed my suspicion.
