– News about Quincy Massachusetts covered by Quincy Quarry News with commentary added.

 

As has long been expected in the Quincy Quarry News newsroom as likely to happen, the US Attorney for Massachusetts has filed hate crimes charges on top of the usual sorts of charges over a driver smacking a pedestrian and then driving away from the scene.

“Hate has no place here in Massachusetts. As this case demonstrates, we will aggressively prosecute hate crimes and other civil-rights offenses committed because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any individual or group. Confronting hate crimes is a priority of my administration. I have established a standalone Criminal Civil Rights Unit and a hotline dedicated to the investigation and potential prosecution of civil rights violations,” said United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins in a statement.

Further, as near as Quincy Quarry News can tell, it would appear that its media brethren at Boston 25 were first to break word of the federal indictment over allegations of a hate crime.

Fortunately, Boston 25’s online posting of its coverage does not include the disquieting video of the stuck pedestrian ending up in at the bottom a deep utilities construction work trench as does 25’s broadcast coverage.

At least not so far anyway.

Similarly, there continues to also be no (valid, ed.) statement out of the Koch Maladministration as to why it has yet to fill the budget-funded position for a City of Quincy community liaison position in support of equity and inclusion
