I used to live in the neighborhood where your investigative reporter, Michael Stanton, was brutally assaulted by local thugs who hang around Sollitto's Liquor Store.
The neighborhood was once -decades ago-" a nice place to live." Now it breeds thugs as well as excrement breeds maggots.
I just passed the area on the Warwick Ave. bus. My friend Paul, also on the bus, speculated that the incident might be "Cianci's Revenge". He is not above this
hoodlum stuff, you know.
But I suspect that it was just a few moments of recreation for bored and drunken denizens of New Puerto Rico or the New Azores. In zoology you call this
antagonism to the passing stranger "territorial protection".
"You messing with ME, man? You messing with me". There might even be an element of racial profiling here. A petty hate crime incident!
Best wishes to Michael Stanton . Let the investigation continue.
