I heard about 17 of them jumped a couple of kids on Main Street early this evening. They caught a bunch of them and arrested at least two of them. One of the one that got away reportedly had a machete. Thank goodness our police are on top of these people. Some of the gang members live on Baldwin Ave.

| Oh ya, they are on top of them. I think you have it backwards Sally, the gangs think Everett is easy pickins. The city is well known for lax enforcement. That's why they are here. If the police were on top of them the gangs wouldn't even drive through the city. |

Your wrong and I will leave it at that. The police arrest them every chance they get. They had an immigration officer with them yesterday. They are doing everything they can do legally. The landlords might want to decided not to rent to people with big blue t shirts and blue do rags with their white and blue ball caps sittiing on top of their heads. It is not hard to spot them. Seems the rent money is more important than the safety of the citizens here. I do have to say many of the group the other day was driven here in a vehicle loaded with MS members from another city. I ask you to do a little research about MS 13 and see why law enforcement agencies all over the world have a hard time stopping them completely.

So you condone rental discrimination then Ms. Councilwoman. Doesnt sound like something a council member should be uttering out loud. Think it maybe, say it in public NOT GOOD business especially putting it in black and white. When is re-election time, oh I think its coming up. |

JoeBlow - evidently, no good deed goes unpunished. I supported your "stay" on this board, believing that you might "grow" into a more civilized approach to discourse. However, it appears that I was wrong.
It's also breathtakingly silly for you to describe Sally's suggestion that a landlord should consider refusing to rent people with obvious gang colored paraphernalia as "rental discrimination." Landlords can refuse to rent to "domestic terrorists" - which is what gang members are. They can have Cori checks run, they can run credit checks...and as long as they keep good records - this is not illegal discrimination, but renting discriminately, with prudence and an eye for the common good of the city. If the property is owner-occupied, the landlord has even more leeway over choosing tenants.
So, JoeBlow, I do hope you can live within the "confines" of civility. |

Yes Court, I think every landlord should do background checks. It would avoid lots of problems.

| Do any of you people actually live in Everett. Do you realize that all they have to do is have a legit person rent the apartment, pass background checks etc. Then the other people come live there. The gang members should be stopped for walking on the sidewalk or driving down the street by the police. Do you realize it's a war. They have to be harassed to the point that it isn't worth it to be here. |

| Of course...but please don't tell me that all these people are legit fronts for the gang members? I don't think background checks are a priority for a number of our landlords. And if you have a good lease, you can evict the whole crew if they move in on you. With police protection. It is a war, and every tool and every option should be utilized, including the legal ones. |

| How about starting with the 300 or more students at Everett High that live in East Boston, Chelsea, Somerville, Dorchester, Roxbury etc. if you know a police officer ask them if that is true. Ask them if they think the city would be better off without these punks in our schools. |

| You seem to have all the answers FrenchFries so why don't you do something instead of harassing the people here? |

If I were a landlord and my tenants brought anyone else in to live, they would be breaking a lease and would be evicted. And I know all about the kids in ther high school who do not belong there. Many are athletes recruited to come here. Until the people of this city stand up for their kids to the school committee, nothing will change.

| They should be stopped for walking down the sidewalk or driving down the street? I don't want them here any more than the rest of the law abiding citizens but I don't believe the Uninted States or State of Massachusetts constitutions will allow people to be "stopped and "harrassed" for those offenses. These punks know their rights and would file suit so fast it would make your head spin. This reminds me of a certain councilman a while back who said the police should start busting some heads. Of course, I don't believe he meant it literally but the idea was the same as FrenchFries. These bust heads and harrass them them till they don't want to be here ideas can't be legally implemented. I do believe there are many out of town kids in the school system. I also agree the city should be doing more to identify them and remove them. Not only are some of them gang members but they are costing Everett tax dollars to educate when they should'nt even be here. They should boot the children of illegal aliens also and be a test case for the new members of the US Supreme court. |

Justme. Because what I have to say isn't the same as someone else that's harassment? I thought that's what the point of the blog was, putting forth information and ideas. Or is it just to put forth some spin that you expect everyone to accept?
Middleman yes these gang people need to be harassed out of the city. They are not going to leave on their own. When I was a teenager the police had something to say about our activities evry single day. Standing on a corner, riding in a car, hanging around a park. They let us know they were there and watching us. We actually lived in the city not like a lot of these punks that are causing trouble now.
Justme. Part of doing something about a problem is informing people about. If you don't like the information you have two problems. The existing problem and ignorance.
Wake up people before home invasions and stabbings become the norm instead of the exception. This isn't a joke or a contest. |

| Marchese is the biggest slum Lord in the city and he will be the next alderman from ward 3. What does that say about our city? He should be destroyed in the election but everyone is afraid to run against him. What does that say about our city? |

| The police can't do today what they did when you were growing up. If they try, we'll be in lawsuits up to our eyeballs and will lose most of them. That's the reality of today's world........... |
