Quotes edit

“You can't help but wonder if what you're watching is a class situation, that it's all right for the poor to put up with an enormous amount of shootings and killings, but, presumably, if you're white, upper-income and suburban, maybe that changes things.”
David Scondras, Boston-area elected official
