The most implausible explanation (by a mile) seems the most plausible to you. Why, cos they're whites? You're truly shameless.

Ok, calm down before I belt you.

It has nothing to do with being white.

It looks like free giveaways I've seen around here too.

That's not looting.

They're both cities.

And I'm comparing the safest city to the least safest.

Boston is not even amongst the safest city in the USA.

Post your source please.



They're both cities but one has more pressure than the other. You can compare a city as big as Boston with a relatively unknown town called Franklin. That's ridiculous. You should compare it with other cities it's size. Boston is not the safest but is among the safest big cities in the US.

This is a Youtube comment that seems to be a plausible explanation


if the youtube comment is what u choose to believe, good.

but it does not seem like they were volunteers taking the clothes to the wounded, coz from the video you will see they were selecting what they "liked" and strolling away with it. and there was no urgency in taking it to someone in dire need of it.

it was pure looting. eod.

It doesn't matter what pressure it has or doesn't have.
The point it, there's a US cities measuring stick for safety that they both follow, and it turns out that one is safer than the other.
No US crime source has named Boston one of the top safest cities, so rethink.

Neither has Bostong been listed as one of the most dangerous cities to live in but cities like Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago have been listed in this regard and this are cities in the same caliber as Boston. So, that's a pass mark for Boston. It's a New England state and they're known to be on the safe side.

Typical black Uncle Tom. I see you're back on your cotton-picking duties for whitey.



How will it be looting when you are a cotton picking slaveboy? Wouldn't do to slander massa would it?



Yeah... like a coconut (black outside, white inside).

I love living in Beantown. Fantastic place all around. And even as we're talking about Boston, you cannot even compare neighborhoods within the city...a place like Roxbury cannot compare with say Allston, or Mattapan with Beacon Hill. They are literally like night & day.

Kanye West made a similar observation during Katrina when he correctly accused the western corporate media of describing black victims of Katrina as looters and whites as simply people looking for food- but the thing that cracks me up so much about this whole story is the look on the face of the white guy (Mike Myers) in the video below when Kanye West decides to stop reading the autocue and actually say whats on his mind:

Wetin concern your god inside this matter!? For your shallow and hasty reply you ignored the facts presented. Identical circumstances reported differently to ridicule one race, while promoting endurance for the next...it's media anyone that reads one of the above sees a black man looting while the white folks are survivals. Both parties suffer the same predicament.. To hell with your god's forgiveness where is his wrath towards those that cause others pain through their ignorance, hatred and deceit..

May Satan forgive you for implicating him in your misdemeanours. The fact you said was presented and ignored says Associated Press (AP) committed those partiality and injustices by their media. I pointed the error in the second information, which evidently was not from AP as purported by that comment. Then I went on to fault the practice of making one company's media prejudice (assuming AP actually were to be the source of the second information) a national "agreement and mindset." I even questioned you on why should you take an editorial comment of a publisher to be the sin of every Nigerian or American. I concluded by decrying the same racial, ethnic and tribal prejudicial practice that your generation have brought upon Nigeria and Nairaland in this online era. So tell me what material fact was presented that you are fighting that I haven't tackled?

More so, the people you are quoting (and abusing God) for causing pains on others by reason of ignorance, hatred and deceit are exactly your type of people who thought that there is no God or judgment or repercussion for whatever they do. But let it be known to you that "though hands join hands, sinners will not go unpunished" and because "speedy judgment is not brought upon man's actions, his heart is set in him to do evil." Carry on, you will meet someday with the One you hate so much when it will have been too late to receive that His wrath you are asking for where is it, in the company of those that caused the pain you talked about BECAUSE "the soul that sinneth, it shall die."

Of course there are ghettos everywhere but you can't compare the number of ghettos in Boston to those in some other big cities.

That's what you think...

If DC could have one of the most notorious ghettos in America, what makes you think Boston(which is also a big city, by the way) would be different?
