Somerville Journal coverage of Thursday's bike-path and street robberies

[ron_newman]

The Somerville Journal has published an article about last Thursday's street robberies and about the long LJ discussion that followed. The article says the evening's two robberies were unrelated to each other.

Also, Scott posted an update here after talking to Alderman Jack Connolly.

Edit, 8/21: The printed Somerville News also has quite a long article about this, on pages 3 and 11.

They say "peaked", I say "piqued"....

[ron_newman]

At least it wasn't "peeked".

Damned homo(nym)s!

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

That would be a whole other crime, yes....

this whole discussion is leaving me feeling a bit peaked.

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

Well, then, you shouldn't have peeked.

I think we've taken this one to the peak.

Forsooth! My kingdom for a thesaurus!

Not quite a homonym...binym?

Pikers, the lot of you.

Thank you

For posting this follow-up and also liaising with Universal Hub.

I was wondering what happened and was especially happy to hear that both Alderpeople Gewirtz and Connolly had reached out to Scott.

Thanks for the update

I see that the article says there are arrest warrants out for those guys now. Good.

can we somehow get enough discussion about the article about the lj post that they do an article on the post about the article about the post?

Chief?

[thespian.livejournal.com]

it's amusing the hell out of me how many reporters of late seem to want to cover *us*.

We are apparently *stars*.

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

And we are all "bloggers"...

My mom would have been so proud.

Thanks, Ron, for this and for the link to Scott's update. (And thanks, Scott, for sharing that.)

Go go Somerville aldermen!!!

[infinitemorning.livejournal.com]

Of course we are! People are talking! About issues! On the INTERNETS! That never happens.

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Even better, we're "pundits!"

[makoshark.livejournal.com]

I think the Somerville Journal just called me a buzzing blogger.

[ehy2k.livejournal.com]

Wow, so I guess I was on the inside loop of some drama.

[ron_newman]

You're quoted somewhere in the article, or you were another victim of the same thugs?

[ehy2k.livejournal.com]

No, just connected to Redbones, where some of the situation unfolded. Also, the Community Police Officer for Davis Square was doing the detail at my workplace that night, so his radio was turned up and we were all listening to the events as they unfolded.

okay, so maybe not in the middle.
