Trump Fans Who Beat Up Mexican Immigrant Apparently Lived Illegally in Public Housing
The two brothers from Boston who were arrested early Wednesday for allegedly severely beating a homeless Hispanic man do not appear to exactly be law-abiding citizens. Steve and Scott Leader of South Boston are now being investigated under suspicion of living illegally in public housing. The Boston Globe explains:
After their arrest, the Leader brothers told State Police that they lived in public housing, but records show that only their mother is listed as a resident. Housing officials said she now faces eviction proceedings.
The Boston Housing Authority requires lease holders to list all residents and to pay their fair share of the rent, because public housing is for needy families whose average income is $14,000 a year. Some 36,000 people are on the waiting list for housing. Police records say Scott is a mason and Steve, 30, is a carpenter.
Based on the police report and other information, theres reason to believe that the Leader brothers were living at the Mary Ellen McCormack development illegally, Lydia Agro, the housing authority chief of staff, said Friday.

Maybe someone will piss on them, just for good measure.
