Whacked Houghs Neck house

Ted Daniels, Quincy Quarry’s media brethren at Boston 25, continues to work the Massachusetts State Trooper Houghs Neck house whacker story.
Work it hard.
In his latest report filed Wednesday evening, Daniels was able to extract from recently retired Quincy Police Chief Paul “The Beaver” Keenan a variety of damning statements.
Arguably wicked damning statements.
One is that the “outside” agency mentioned previously as looking into how this house whacking incident was curiously handled in the Quincy District Courthouse is the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office.
“Ward, I am worried about the Beaver.”

Given that as a matter of standard practice prosecutors do not offer any comments whatsoever about any of their ongoing investigations, the Beav’s admission made things easier for Daniels.
Way easier.
And for another problematic statement, former Quincy Police Chief Keenan’s asserted that the house whacking incident had been “appropriately” investigated by the Quincy Police Department.
Unclear if Keenan meant appropriately by the book or “appropriately” locally when an off-duty state trooper is facing scrutiny over the suspected operating of a motor vehicle while under the influence.
As Boston 25 reported that “(t)here’s no record of him speaking with the officers who responded to the call …“, Quincy Quarry’s ever-growing legions of loyal readers can thus readily fathom what is the consensus in the Quincy Quarry News’ newsroom as regards the former chief’s use of the word “appropriately.”

More importantly, one can only reasonably assume that the saga of the Houghs Neck house whacker will have more chapters, if not many more chapters.
What a horrible job of reporting this is. The explanation in these stories is not even understandable in parts. Clearly written by somebody trying to sound more important than they are. you write a story about whacking and never explain what whacking is. Go back to school
Keven,
It would appear that you are at least relatively new to Quincy Quarry News as the Houghs Neck housing whacking incident has fueled the most stories about it in the Quarry over the past two years. Additionally, these Quarry stories are among the Quarry’s most popular stories over the past two years.
It would also appear that you did not bother with checking out any of the hyperlinks in this story so as to help you score insightful background information about this long ongoing sordid saga.
And as for the Quincy’s writing style, it relies on an SEO-centric approach rather than boring old AP Style and which in no small way hurt old school news outlets as the Internet grew in importance for the distributing of the news of the day.
That and how dollops of snark added in Quarry stories where warranted along with always endeavoring to encourage Quarry readers to use their brains to make obvious and thus more lasting conclusions.
Finally, like it but probably not, when it comes to coverage about crime and other questionable doings in Quincy, Quincy Quarry News is by far your best option day in and day out.
take there license away!!!
I bet Keven knows very well what “whacking”
means.
No offense, but I am thinking more like QPD Detective Andrew Keenan.
