The People of St Paul: Get what they VOTE FOR! The Media is hiding 85% of the Crime St Paul is suffering from, Making sure they protect the Golden Child Mayor Coleman. Buy a Police Scanner and you will get a Idea, the Road St Paul is heading down and how the Media is Controlled by Government.(MUMS THE WORD).. The Ramsey County Sheriffs office is called in to back up the St Paul Police 3-4 times a week now. In the summer the Sheriffs office is called on everyday. The Tax payers of St Paul get Billed for County Law-enforcement time. Anyone that Voted for Chris Coleman is a SUCKER,,I think its great to actually see the people of St Paul get Picked off One by One. People can't connect the DOTS from Voting in these Leftist, to the day the Coroner puts a sheet on someones face.

I was born and raised in Frogtown from 1976-1995... I am not a bad person, I have never been arrested or done anything to deserve to be. I graduated CPHS with above average grades and had... still have a pretty normal life. Not everyone who lives there is a bad person or does bad things. Shame on some of you for look down on those who may not be as fortunate as yourself... maybe you should take a minute to come down from your ivory tower, you can volunteer or become active in these areas to try and make them better. Maybe you (being as perfect as you are) could become a mentor to a child who maybe needs guidance or just a real friend.
Now with that being said, I am very sad that this happen. Justin and his family have been through a lot in the past couple weeks and this is not the outcome anyone wanted. He was a young man who was loved and this is a time for grief, not hate.
I don't know what was going on in that house yesterday, but whatever it was... no one deserves to die like that. My heart is out to his family.

there's really only one way to fix the issue, that is stop giving scum welfare! Or at least give 'em less then what they got in Chicago or Detroit or Gary, Indiana. I live in Frogtown. My husband and I both work hard, unfortunatly, we don't make the big $$. Alot of our neighbors are in the same situation. After 9 years of being here, I know what I'm talking about. Quit giving money to scum!!!

Pretty sure these are white folks but I could be wrong, but Justin D. Boecker doesn't sound like a guy from Chicago, Detroit or Gary. And I'm guessing his 21 yo friend isn't named Tyrone, Jamal or Keyshawn. But again, all the facts aren't out (nor is a picture) so I could be wrong.

Just asking the racist posters to not get their panties in a bunch until they have evidence that black folks are involved. Seems that is the only time POS, give us back our city, go back to (__) posts pile up after a news story. But again, I could be wrong...

i think alot of people dont know what they really be talking about..welfare isnt anything to be proud of. and i bet 99% of people that r on welfare are living horribly.i disagree wit people who always talk about where our tax dollars go..if u took everyone off welfare our taxes will still be the same..its okay to spend billions of dollars to kill innocent people overseas but to help the less unfortunate here in our own inner citys its a burden.people from all walks of life committ crimes.

Of course they are living horribly, they are living horribly because they will not work, poop out babies they can not afford, think they are smart because they can make a fast buck. They are living horribly because even though they have been handed opportunity after opportunity most will continue to revert back to the ghetto lifestyle.

You are correct welfare is not something to be proud of and people who work know this. It is the people who consider it there right and make it a way of life, generation after generation.

That is not saying the kid that got shot came from a family like this. That is not saying the kid who killed him came from a family like this. However something is not right. This kid should not be dead.

You are a pile of uneducated crap.
Regardless of race, sex or annual income, bad things happen to people.
I know this boy and I too am from Frogtown. He wasn't a non-working, welfare collecting black kid from Chicago. Know what you are talking about before you make such a stupid comment. This is about a child, A 17 YEAR OLD CHILD. He was born and raised in that area, not that is should matter but he was white. He had friends and family who loved him more than anything and he loved them. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE!
Why is it that when someone in a lower income area dies or is a victim of a crime, this site is all about politics, government and race???
I pray that god gives you a brain to use because it's obvious school had no part in educating you!

First, I knew both the shooter and the victim. They were both nice young men. I don't know if it was intentional or truly an accident, but I do know that it was not racial. It was not because of welfare. It was because of poor choices. Both of these men made bad choices in the past and again on the day of the shooting. One will continue to make poor choices. The other no longer has that option. The problem is the entire cultural climate of the U.S.- until we figure out it isn't ok to inundate our youth with music and other forms of "entertainment" that depict illegal drug and alcohol use, that it's ok to be disrespectful and indulge in criminal behavior, these kinds of poor choices will continue to be made by our kids.
