A year ago the Massachucetts #SupremeCourt ruled youths could not be given life sentences. Since then Massachusetts Parole Board has retroactively released 39 #LWOP murder convicts who were initially sentenced to life without parole as "emerging adults".

Despite some public outcry, judicial resentencing has been mandated in the state for certain young offenders previously given Life Without #Parole. Critics and victims family advocates are outraged that criminals like Roger Francis, who at age 20 killed a 15 year old, James Parker , then a teen who helped kill a Dartmouth professor, and Allen Alston, who ruthlessly killed a #taxicab driver at 19 are all being freed.

Over the weekend I heard a bunch of taxis beeping at this guy, I guess cuz he was waiting on his bike right near the left lane. He hit one of the taxis' windows as they passed & they slammed on the brakes. By the time they put it in park, got out of the car to start a fight, the guy had taken off on his e-bike and ran the light at the next intersection.
