You guys do understand that the portion of Massachusetts that is "over the bridge" was once connected to the rest of the state before they dug the canal??? The only reason things cost more down there is because the businesses that sell them mark everything up so they can turn the bucks on the tourists! It has nothing to do with it having to be brought "over the bridge"! Its not like it has to be loaded onto a ferry and transferred to an island!
The crimes mentioned here are not just exclusive to "over the bridge"......here on the south shore you pick up the newspaper any day and you can read about the break-ins taking place in all the towns! Rockland, Abington, Whitman, Hingham, Cohassett, Scituate, Weymouth.......its drugs people.......plain and simple! It is running rampant!!! Heroin, "X", Oxy, Cocaine, Meth......call it what you want, drug use is way, way up past what it was 5 or even 10 years ago!!! Its insane!!! It is not gonna get any better either! I wish I could find a stat about how the application for handgun purchase and use has gone up in the past 5 years......I bet it has gone through the roof because people are going to have to use them more to protect their homes and families from these scumbag/parasites that are everywhere!!! See all these convenience store/jewelry store/gas station thefts caught on video recently where the clerks are pulling a gun and shooting at the scumbags?!?!?!? This is everywhere folks......don't act like one community is any different than another!!! I may wind up with a gun one day......that is scary!!
