Group of 6 men attack Boston firefighter, saying “don’t want any gringo here"

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Boston firefighter is mending from what could have been deadly stab wounds he suffered early yesterday morning when he was allegedly jumped in East Boston while off duty by a group of Hispanic males who told him they “don’t want any gringo here.”

Though police are not classifying the incident as racially fueled, the Boston Police Department’s Community Disorders Unit is investigating. The 32-year-old jake, whose name officials were not releasing, is white.

...

Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald ... said the firefighter had gone to Chivas Restaurant in Day Square to grab takeout when “six guys started exchanging words with him. He indicated he was just there to get a sandwich and that he was a firefighter. They pushed him.”

Hoping to avoid a confrontation, MacDonald said the firefighter got into his car and headed for his station for safety’s sake, but the pack followed him on foot. It was shortly before 2:45 a.m.

“As soon as he got out of his car, six guys jumped him and started kicking and punching him,” MacDonald said. “He felt two sharp pains in his chest and knew he had been stabbed.”

Hmmm... now let's see how long for this one to flare up [the thread].

Those had to have been some really fast gringohaters if they followed him on foot all the way to the station. Or the firefighter man needs to learn the meaning of having a lead foot.

Hate crime.

Hmmm, I'm having dinner in East Boston tonight...

Hmmm, sounds to me like a mild response to the Hispanics label being floated around town that they are the

brown boogie man, illegals and criminals. Ummm sure sounds like it. I might be wrong.

I was thinking the same thing. D@mn man, put the pedal down. I'd be hard pressed to find anyone that could keep up with me in my car in a normal situation, much less if I'm trying to get away from them.

No kidding....there's something missing in this story.

Not to be rude, or anything like that....but like I said I might be wrong. What is your opinion? I see that you seem to

misunderstand what I wrote.

Or perhaps this calls for the thought police to come in.

I'm asking you to clarify what you said.

#######? Because of the car v. man speed issue, it seems there's more to the story (i.e. these guys know the firefighter and beat him up for something other than being white but said hateful things while doing so?). This just doesn't add up, although obviously these guys are pretty nasty people.

Just clarify what you do not understand. If you can tell me that you have not heard the terms that i wrote above with

respect to the usual suspects "illegals, bla bla bla", then I will clarify specially for you.

Also, if the police aren't classifying it as "racially fueled" there's got to be more to the story. Because if they think these guys stabbed the firefighter just for coming into their restaurant, that would obviously be a hate crime.

I didn't understand what you wrote either.
