    ” Those in attendance expressed condolences to the family of Tyler Lawrence and pledged continued cooperation to help prevent gun violence and to bring justice to anyone responsible for it, particularly when violence involves a child. ”

    BULLSH*T The guy was a level III career criminal. That means some bleeding heart liberal judge let him out multiple times to reoffend. They absolutely do not help in preventing so called ” gun violence ” they are complicit in it. the entire Massachusetts criminal justice system from the liberal judges to the activist DA’s to the lying media all had a hand in this. Your policies get people killed but not in your lilly white neighborhoods.
