This is a developing story. Listen to WHAV FM 97.9 for updates.
I believe white folks still live in Lawrence jack and dunkan. As usual you guys need to pull out the race card. So predictable boy’s
“Sources told WHAV the victim is a 33-year-old Lawrence man” –
“Lawrence man”, was he an Invader?
That street is two streets over from the White Street address where the Invaders from the rape case (and others) were living. That area appears to attract Invaders, but given the complicity of city officials, it comes as no surprise. Doing a property record search of the last few major crimes in that area, and looking at the property themselves, appears to be pseudo-slum lords to boot. Then again, this is the populace Mayor Jimmy wants to attract to the city, especially now that the city exceeds the 15% low income threshold, what’s a few Invaders mixed in with the crime to boot? I’m positive the children of Invaders are outstanding students, raising the test scores and helping teachers do their job of whichever overcrowded school they are stuffed in.
Hey, I ma offended by your “invaders” accusation. These people are trying to turn their lives around. They need your help and your tax dollars to help them. They need your sympathies and for you to give up some of your hard earned stuff in their best interests. The Mayor is only trying to help achieve utopia here in Haverhill. He wants you to know that crime is down so you can feel confident in re-electing him for his 20th term. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Toto is a liar !
