A woman who sought refuge with a Brockton man was instead held against her will, raped and hired out as a prostitute by him, prosecutors said. Joseph Boone, 38, of 30 Winter St., Apt. 2, Brockton, was arraigned in Brockton District Court on Monday on charges of aggravated rape, kidnapping, deriving support from prostitution, maintaining a house of prostitution, assault and battery and possession of a Class E drug.
The victim went to Boone about two weeks ago and asked to stay with him after her husband, whom she had just married, was arrested, said Assistant District Attorney James DeGiacomo.
“After her husband was arrested, she didn’t have anywhere to live, therefore she turned to this defendant,” DeGiacomo said.
About 6:30 p.m. Friday, police and firefighters responded to Boone’s apartment on Winter Street after a neighbor said the woman living there had been beaten, DeGiacomo said.

First off DRUGS are our downfall. Second...the woman just got married and her new husband is in jail already? Then she turns to a FRIEND? who is a criminal?
Sounds like a bed time story for druggies.

daughter: (look of dismay on face) they said something about testing the shotspotter
me: don't worry, kiddo, we're getting out of this hell-hole soon... give me a kiss (i kiss my daughter on forehead)... i love you

The funds were voted for the Super Duper Shot Spotter 5 months ago. 5 months we could've had a cop or two on the street. And if any elected official is proud or happy we have a Super Duper Shot Spotter, then they really don't have a clue.

white flight?
you know, your suggestion that only white people dislike crime and minorities somehow aren't bothered by it, and "choose" to stay, is troubling

I'm using the euphemism (figurative) as opposed to a literal descriptor of middle-class folks flying (lol) cities on the decline.

a euphemism is designed not to insult.... using a racial descriptor contradicts the definition.... but of course, someone who thinks in racial terms wouldn't see that because those kinds of people like to adhere to white stereotypes in order to bolster their position among minorities and further keep people divided
'white flight' is an outdated concept .... white people aren't leaving neighborhoods, towns or cities because they don't like minorities .... they're leaving- as are other people of race and ethnicity- because of the crime, bullshIt politics, economy, etc.
the term is a filthy misnomer

Multiple Brockton residents woke up Wednesday morning to see the tires had been slashed on their cars. Several hundred tires appear to have been slashed overnight.
Chris Montiero, 24, said he went out to his car Wednesday on Falmouth Avenue and saw two of his tires were flat. Three other cars in his driveway all had flat tires. Monteiro said he was not the only victim and that cars throughout the area on Farrington, Prospect and Waverly streets had flats as well. Another man, said multiple cars in his driveway had flat tires."My car, my wife's car, my son's car, all flat," Nunes said.

The main reason however, we aren't able to move, is we will never get back what we have put into this house. And that appears to not be changing in the future, no matter whom the Mayor is.
