Dear Daily free Press Staff,
I’, Alberto Pina, the publisher and president of www.forCV.com ( for Cape Verde). I’m an avid reader of your paper and sometimes publish some on your articles about Cape Verdean at www.forCV.com.
I would like to let you know that the some statements that were made in the article you published, Report examines the immigrant crime rate has caused lot of strong and response and disapproval in the Cape Verdean community in Boston and all over New England.
There’s a heated debate about this issue on the Storm Zone forum of www.forCV.com :
Should Cape Verdeans be blamed for the Crime Rise in Boston?

Larry Mayes is denying that he said the controversy statement and saying that the writer, Ursula Remy, distorted his words. Here is his statement about you and your paper in his reponse to the Cape Verdean Community:
“My first response was via my blackberry and I could not read the article until I arrived at home. The statements are in some cases taken completely out of context, misquoted or are just plain wrong! The writer, Ms. Remy, is writing for a college newspaper and is not an experienced journalist. In fact, she never talked to me for clarity or as a follow up to make sure what she characterized as my statements were correct. I will take the time soon to address her and her editors in writing and I’m very disappointed that my comments to you and to her will not be part of cyberspace record.
We would like to here from you what really happen between you and Larry. Who’s telling the truth?
FYI:
In the article Report examines the immigrant crime rate Larry Mayes, chief of human services for the city of Boston ,put the hot potato on the hands of the Cape Verdean Immigrants :”the crime rate can go up as the number of Cape Verdean immigrants increases.” – www.DailyFreePress.com
