  1. When is sam sutter going to start to take responsibility for the lawlessness thats going on in new bedford? All he does is blame judges or blames the full moon or tide of the oceans. It seems we are used to this violence that he seems to get a pass. Things were bad with the prior administration but this guy sutter has no clue. Violence has never been this bad in our city. Start doing your job sutter instead of trying to run for higher office, which you will never succeed at.

  2. Why does the guy on the bottom left think that by holding his breath he looks tougher?

  3. This happened on my damn street-on the corner of Tinkham & the Ave. A street that is all family oriented, friendly, portuguese & quite. When does this bs stop??? That bar should be shut down once & for all. Nothing good comes out of that bar. The neighbors are sick & tired of this. Is there anyone @ all that will make this stop or do the neighbors need to take matters into their own hands???? Help us out here!!!!!!!!
