Comment on: Ferocious norâeaster departs, leaving 2 deaths and injuries in its wake - News - Boston.com

Comment on: Newton police describe the now-infamous egging incident in letters to chief - Your Town - Boston.com
I don't understand why these officers were caught committing a crime (vandalism) but were not arrested. If these were teenagers from the neighborhood committing these crimes, I doubt they would be set more »
