Police said a Friday night shooting on Congress Street was accidental and didn’t cause any life-threatening injuries.
Police were called to the Canterbury Apartments at 39 Congress St., around 10:30 p.m. Friday for a report of shots fired. The officers first on the scene found that a man had been shot in the hand and a woman had been shot in the upper leg, police said.
The man, a New York resident, had been taking apart a still-loaded handgun when the gun fired, the bullet going through his hand and into the woman’s leg. The woman is a resident of the apartment, police said.
Both victims were brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the man was later transported to the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass., police said.
Police are still investigating and expect to press charges against the male victim, police said.
The primary interest that the collective state (acting on behalf of society) bears in the punishment and deterrence of mala en se crimes is the detrimental effect on society which is the result of damage incurred by an individual unit.
ReplyDeleteIt is evident that the authoritarian state interest is the inherent factor in any and all systems of criminal justice throughout the civilized world. The government bears no interest in any wrongful phenomenon which may have been inflicted on an individual, but instead punishes the guilty for its defiance of the state, and for the loss of productivity, among other social ills which result from criminal insubordination. Prosecutors sue on behalf of the ruling state interest, acting on behalf of society, rather than being the arbitrators of some tribal justice for an individual entity.
Jadegold, we're on to you. Why must you waste our time like this?
DeleteSome say that you are Ted Nudgent. But the truth is even more depressing.
DeleteYou are an anti-government extremest, who hoards weapons and utilizes the internet to correspond and collaborate with other dangerous and subversive radicals.
You want to be armed to further your stated goals of violence and mayhem. It should be within your limited yet sufficient grasp, to understand why we cannot allow you to arm yourself and others like you.
Steve has posted statements by Greg, which prove what you are saying about Greg.
DeleteGreg, we are on to you. Why waste your time commenting here, everyone here knows you are a liar.
DeleteMikeb, do something for me, would you? Look at the data for all these anonymous commenters and sockpuppets and tell me if they're all from the Baltimore, Maryland area.
ReplyDeleteNo. I've asked you before why do you care.
DeleteBecause I know from my own blog that Jadegold is a good number of them. I care because it would be pleasant to know who is calling me a liar without the honor to identify himself or to provide proof.
DeleteYour own statements prove you are a lying criminal coward. Could be anyone who read your lying criminal statements.
