Drinking in Boston: Pairing Beer
--Some local gangs have taken time out from their busy schedules of mayhem to post YouTube videos celebrating the aforementioned mayhem. Maria Cramer at the Globe reports that the gangs involved include Castlegate and Morse Street. Needless to say, police are thrilled at their good fortune that the gang members are taping themselves for posterity, but those who work with gang members are worried that innocent people might get in trouble just because they appear in one of these videos.
--An update on Anna Tang, the Wellesley student who stabbed her ex-boyfriend in his MIT dorm room: Prosecutors say Tang had ordered a crossbow before the incident and that Tang became angry when she saw Styke studying with another woman.
--In old-fashioned white-collar crime, a woman who is going to jail for embezzling money has claimed that she gave $6,000 to the wife of Bristol County DA Samuel Sutter. Grace Oliver embezzled $1.1 million from Superior Drywall, where she was a bookkeeper. The DA has said that he and his wife will return "every cent."
--A Framingham man who allegedly attempted to kill his wife yesterday is claiming that ghosts drove him to do it.

As a loud bass thumps and an unseen keyboard plays an ominous melody, a half-dozen young men on Castlegate Road in Dorchester jostle for the camera's attention.
"We've got guns that'll [expletive] blow your shoulders back," they rap.

They don't do a good job of glamorizing themselves at all. They just seem like clowns.
I must admit, ordering crossbows is pretty badass.
