Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: The mean streets of the Q continue to get meaner.

Last weekend was a rough one for some in Quincy. 

A very rough weekend with even more looking likely to follow.

For starters, on Friday night someone was stabbed to death in a parking lot in Wollaston Center.

Then amazingly for a change, the female alleged perp was quickly identified and then arrested on Wednesday.

Then again, it did not hurt that security video taken by an adjacent liquor store apparently well-documented the killing as well as that the perp was well-known to local police.

Conversely last year’s Squantum Sucker Puncher was well-known to local police as well as to most everyone in the known in the Q, however, omerta looks to have caused it to take over nine months before he was finally arrested.

That and now we are approaching a year after this alleged perpetrator’s arrest without the start of a trial, much less a pleading out.

In any event, while the sequence of events in the more recent fatal stabbing will likely result in the alleged perp claiming self-defense, a likely far easier case to make to a jury is that the perp was hanging with friends and at least some of them were being punks when things suddenly spun out of hand with the end result that the victim quickly bleed out and so died after multiple stabbings.

And for another local tragedy, a multi-family house on Hospital Hill in Quincy Center went up in flames Saturday afternoon and eleven people and eight furry family members were so left homeless. 

Fortunately, all are safe even though the building suffered an estimated couple hundred thousand dollars’ worth of damage.

Unfortunately, on the horizon is yet another legitimate concern which could hit the fan as local public schools reopen.

Local teachers are calling in question what but a million dollars spent on mostly HVAC maintenance and air filters replacements along with the replacement of some old windows that do not open with opening ones across the school districts’ at least twenty facilities will result in a sufficiently safe increase in classroom room air exchange rates.

Needless to say, Quincy Quarry News has exposéd these air quality concerns and as only the Quarry has the stones to do.

That and will continue to do so as might be appropriate if – but more likely when – things hit the fan.
