Menino loses another vote

Tom Menino says he didn't show up at a Southie meeting last week out of respect for Jean Lampron, the woman who died of a heart attack while being mugged. But the Unchosen One says the meeting wasn't a memorial service, it was a meeting for residents to discuss crime in the neighborhood:

...By using the excuse that he did not wanting to politicize the meeting (which was giving ordinary citizens a chance to have their voices heard) to avoid the responsibility of attending, Menino did something far worse, he politicized Lampron's death. Mr. Mayor you have lost my vote.
