Getting personal on crime

October 12, 2006 By Charley on the MTA

Deval Patrick indicates that he was a victim of crime as a kid — not surprising, considering he grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. Maybe, just maybe, he has an idea of what it’s like to grow up without a sense of safety:

““I got beat up, I got . . . you know, there was a lot of gang violence. There was a lot of recruiting going on. It was a long time ago.”

Healey spokesman Tim O’Brien’s response?

“I don’t think that personal experience as victim of crime is really relevant to the debate.”

Oh really?

How about this, Tim: Personal experience that doesn’t support Healey’s candidacy is irrelevant to the debate. That work for you?
