Puhleeze ! Let me guess he was ''turning his life around'' ? It's a shame another kid dies so young and a younger kid is left fatherless, but is every junkie that OD's a saint? How about the decisions HE made ? Sorry but there are a lot of kids his age that are dying due to things that are out of their control , why aren't they on the front page here ?

BTW Greg if I did live in Newton, I certainly wouldn't be moving to C-town anytime soon. ( Save me the BS I've lived in C-town since the day I was born 43 years ago 1/3 of it in the projects)

Velvet first of all thanks for reminding me of the ignorance in this world. Secondly, Clinton never had the chance to be a father but he did have the chance to be a brother, son and friend and we all find your comment offensive. I can Only hope you never have to experience this but obviously you wouldn't care anyways. Hope YOU had a merry Christmas.

Velvet, I'm sorry that your husband beats you so you have low self-esteem and feel the need to make comments where there not warranted! I have empathy for you, even though you don't have it for my brother because your not capable of having it after the beatings you have been through! It's ok. Hun you'll make it! My family and I will pray for you!!! May god help you, you poor misguided soul!

Anyone ever hear of a Velvet Jones? I know Franny, I know Michelle, but sadly Velvet draws a blank? Seriously Velvet, stick to what you know instead of what you don't (That being Charlestown). It has always been part of the Townie essence to help our own where we can. Please stop posting ignorant comments after reading an article about someone you have never met, or a family you've never met!

And one more thing... Greg. Thank you. Your 100% right and thanks for your support. People like you are who make our community what it is.

Velvet, if you have a problem with Clinton you should handle it with Jacqueline I'm sure she'd be happy to sort you out.
BTW, Jacqueline is his sister as I'm sure you did not know.

Thank you Greg but don't waste your time on this person. It sounds like a 13 yr old girl with severe mental issues and a lot of time on her hands. We know what time it is! Real townies know what's up! We can smell an imposter a mile away! I appreciate the support Greg. My family has known you forever. Your a stand up kid and this just proved it again. Just pray for the girl!! I don't want this to turn into nothing bad! I want this to be for my brother! I don't want 1 animal to spoil it! Thank you everyone for the support!!!!

She's an imposter! Probably got picked on by someone in C-Town before and this is the only thing she can do to make herself feel better!!! Now you know her comments mean nothing! There self serving!

TOWNIES RULE!!!

Velveeta, go spew your misery somewhere else. We aren't going to let your turn something good into something negative.

Its so sad to see that at such a horrible time for a family I've known forever people can be so ignorant and heartless. You obviously don't know anything about the people that have been affected by this tragedy and know even less about addiction. Clinton was always a good kid..just like his sister and his brothers. If you have a problem with people coming together to help each other in times of need then there is something seriously wrong with you. Keep your unwanted comments to yourself in the future.

As a sign of good will I am donating 50 cents to the fund, hope that ends all the negativity here. I'd give more but Im gonna need it for the next great kid who has done so much for the community that ODs.

Special treatment addicts get? I'm not going to get into a discussion with you for a number of reasons. To name a few: you are shamelessly and cowardlessly hiding behind your computer scared to put your real name and face on it. Own it! Another: you have know idea what your talking about " ignorance". You sound mad that "junkies" are getting all the attention. Not you and your " narcarcisstic personality disorder" yeah look it up. That's you. You have all the symptoms. You obviously have a severe mental disorder with a sad existence to attack a person that can't defend themselves to make yourself feel better. That's pathetic. Your more classless than the people snatching pocketbooks from old ladies!!! Oh Yeah!!!! YOU ARE HUNNY!!! Everyone agrees!!!! Your as low as they get. This showed your true colors even if you don't have the heart to use your real name! You can't hide your soul! And it's UGLY!!!! My family and every junkie at the AA meeting " even the pocketbook snatchers" will pray for your pathetic twisted soul!

Velvet if you have a problem with addicts I'm sure there's a place for you to voice your opinion and not on this page. One minute you have a problem with Clinton the next minute you don't. Who cares that's not the point of this page. It's for his family. Remember that same family you said In an earlier post you felt bad for? But that's right you can't feel bad for them cuz you have problems and trust me they don't want you feeling bad for them anyways. This page has gotten way off track. You wanna talk about "junkies" and how much they have ruined your life go see a shrink. Keep your nonsense off here. You say your from Charlestown if u really are you'd know this family and you sure as hell wouldn't have started on this page.

Another thing, know one knows you, and they Definetly don't want to HEAR or CARE about what you have to say! So sit in your room till your daddy lets you off punishment and be a good girl! Stop eating the paint chips n put down the phone . Your a "NOBODY". Get some friends and a life. Then you won't have to lower yourself to these levels! Well pray for you!

I just wanted to say ive sent alot of prayers deep down we are all family I hate what this loser said bout Clinton.My prayers are with your family.Frannie I love and am here for you. Thanks everyone for sticking up for Clinton and anyone who lost a loved one in the past.God Bless. Billy Lewey TOWNIES

Velvet why don't you woman or man (god only knows which u are) up and tell us who you really are. None of us are hiding behind some stripper porn stage name. Myself and my whole family Live in those projects so I take your comment highly offensive. This is getting old and we are disgracing Clinton's page but you are obviously mentally ill and can't understand that. If you wanna continue this somewhere else like I already said that's all our real names. Find us.

Do yourself a favor Velvet, print out your comments and go wipe your rump with it and don't worry about getting paper~cuts on your balls cuz you don't have any. While your at it go take your low self~esteem issues out the pole at King Arthur`s. Velvet is your stage name right?

Why all the hate ? BTW Michelle this isn't ''Clinton's page'' it's the Patch. C'mon Tony that one hurt, I got feelings too. Just one question that ANYONE here can answer for me; Has there ever been ONE heroin addict that OD'd in C-town who wasn't a great person ? I know plenty of dope addicts and 90% of them are scumbags , the last thing they need are excuses being made for them. Sorry I can't look the other way when a dope fiend steals from his mother, his grandmother, breaks into people's houses and neglects his children, then have a ticker tape parade for them when they are on the bright for 2 seconds.

Listen, that's the thing here. Nobody cares what you think or have to say! Maybe that's why you make it your life to go on the patch and make disrespectful comments to get a rise out of ppl. So finally someone will care what you have to say. Doesn't feel the same when you have to pay a dr. To listen to your b. s. every wk. and you don't get the same reaction being nice. Attentions attention don't matter how velvet gets it, right? Your a sad person, no balls, no class, no heart! And you better hope that all the p rs pray for u! Pray that I never find out who you are! Thank you everyone else for the support and don't let this sick person ruin a good thing! He/she can make up all the stories it wants, but we know who's disgusting inside and out (velvet)! Thank you everyone!!!!

Even if every word you was saying were true! Which it most definitely is not! Especially toward my brother to whom you know nothing about. But even if what you were saying was true. What would make you think Go fund me & the patch working together is the forum for you to ruin your mouth about your feelings about junkies and whatever else is on your mind! IGNORANCE! That's all! So shut up! No one wants to hear you velvet! Just stay off the page! Loser!!!biggest loser!!!! Lower than anything I can imagine!!! Try to sound as civilized as you want. Everyone can see through it HUNNY!!!! Your trash!!!!

First off it's ''you're trash '', not ''your trash '' , and I'm the ignorant one ? Again, Franny what exactly have I said about your brother ? The fact that I have no sympathy for junkies makes me ignorant ? Yeah the crew hanging in front of CVS are really great people huh ? Really people adding so much to our community ? Maybe if you spent as much time going after the dope dealers in the projects, and you know exactly who they are, as you do posting here and asking people for money things might change. Tell me what you are specifically going to do to try to prevent another family from going through this ? I bet nothing . That is all.

Hey Velvet he cant go after the Drug dealers when he is/was a wanna be himself ... Hey Franny still selling drugs out of the old age houses down on main st or did they finally kick you out and let an actual elderly person in there??? Oh yeah Velvet this kid is so smart he robs the Soverign bank in back of his house and his escape route is to jump over the fence into basically his back yard ... What you get away for like 3 minutes ( http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/Default.aspx?id=2629 ) ... Dont act like you guys are angels, Velvet is right maybe if people in this town stopped glorifying the trash here who by the way all turn out to be Informants there would be no need for a page to raise money for another young man lost to this disease, take the blinders off people..... You all talk about how great a kid Clinton was and from what i have read there is no doubt but instead of bashing Velvet you should be mad at the people selling the drugs in this town. And you all know who they are you stand right with them, say hi to them and yet DO NOTHING... The time after a person dies is TO LATE to make a differance. We all know someone right now waking up doing something to go get high MAKE a real differance get involved now.... Bring on the bullshit excuses and rants you wont get a response from me Ill go try and save someone WHY DONT YOU INSTEAD OF RESPONDING TO ME MAKE A REAL DIFFERANCE DO IT IN CLINTONS NAME.. WHAT ARE YOU SCARED !!!!!

All right Steven not a truer word has been spoken, Yes most people start out great kids, then the drugs take over. Everyone knows who the dealers are, nothing is done. Everyone knows someone who has lost "agreat kid". I just don't understand why after all these friends and relatives of people OD they don't stop using, they use their death as an excuse to keep on using because they are depresed or whatever. You would think they would learn from all these early deaths and wouldn't want the same thing for themselves. I know it is hard to get clean but it is possible, and there is all kinds of help out there so there is no excuse, except stupidity and laziness or it's just too hard. So yeah there will be more deaths and more families mourning and more funds being collected for these people who can't afford to pay for their loved ones funerals because everything has already been stolen from them to pay for their habits. My heart goes out to the MacDougall family, but something has to be done to "wake up" these kids . I am speaking from experience and would really like to see some of these "great kids" smarten up

Wow Stephen that was low. I don't even have words for you other than you're a classless pig. That was ignorance at its finest

Smitty you know me ok? Balls up! put ur real name on here punk! Didn't think so! That's right I you use to sell to your mother out of the old age center while I pimped your sister and velvet out of the back! But I moved on. ... I'm done with those things. Ppl make mistake. It shows what your made of what you do what your life after you made them. I go to school now. Haven't done drugs or been in trouble in 7 yrs. Smitty or so you call yourself (coward) . You just joined the patch today to back velvet up and put your 2 sense in. Bunch of pathetic loses! Velvet! I'll be there there. Even though you didn't put a time. Is that this afternoon or tonight when your shift ends at king authors!

Too bad you and velvet aren't using your real names. Sure we could dig up some good stuff on you too. But that's right you both are cowards hiding behind fake names.

Like I said those are our real names (velvet) u can make up as many (smittys)and whatever other names you want to back up you crap. And jan really? Nothing to do with you sweetie! So be smart and don't comment on this page again. This is a disgruntled person using this page as an outlet for the wrong thing but Atleast velvet was smart enough to make up a name and make Steve smith up today to back up her crap. Your not that bright! You want to fight drugs and crime great, go to CHAD or wait for another story to come out. Don't piss me off, JAN

Hahahaha,,, you guys are funny really who's ignorant.... You hang with drug dealers and glorify wannabe gangsters in this town and I am ignorant. No made up names here. Moved from Rhode Island when i was 2 grew up on Trenton St. still live in town. Glad your doing well keep it up and we wont have to read about someone trying to raise money to bury you. So here is your pat on the back for not selling drugs and being another loser from Charlestown... And threating a women Jan for speaking her mind really who is the tough guy now on the computer. I know i said i would not respond but picking on a women really who's the classless pig now... Have a great life hope I dont read about you in a couple of years

Francis & Michelle Why even respond to these people there just trying to get a rise out fo you. Who cares what they say!

What's up lets meet up for a cup of coffee Smitty? I want to talk about cleaning up this town. What do you say buddy?

Big mouth punk with a keyboard! That's what I though! Stick to what you know, hiding! No heart, no balls,! Listen this isn't the forum for all the anti-drug talk. The let's get the drug dealers! This was my friend Shannon trying to help my mother out. Not at my mothers request! But trying to help her out! So all the negative remarks were uncalled for. If you morons can't understand that come to dunstable st and post a message and I'll be out there to meet and greet you! Goodbye, goodnight, and I'll pray for you sick, sick puppies!!!! Everyone else that matters!!! Real townies!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! This is proof that you don't need to be on drugs to be total creep losers!!!

What happened? Must have just missed you! Oh no your shift at king authors isn't over! I was just at old sullys! They never even heard of your alias! I'm done spending my time on cowards! If you want me come to dunstable st. And send a message!! Can't get any more clear than that! Like I said this isn't the forum for your remarks. This page is for an entirely different thing. Wether your right or wrong, it's not the page. That's what you don't understand. We asked politely, and like the ignoramus you are, you continue to harass this page. So I'm done feeding the monster! Like I said before " thank you everyone for the support".

You know what violet please stop the hate Clinton was a good kid with a drug problem that he battled with every day...that is very said but that didn't make him a bad person...kind words when a family is grieving helps ease the pain a Lil me need to learn how to build each other up instead of break them down and addiction is a dease just like achoholics medical fact!!

Sad

I am so glad that this was posted . Unfortunately I have had alot going on in my life and just finally go a minute to get on my computer to donate. I love seeing people come to gether in good times and bad. Townies have a great bond. That makes use who we are. I knew Clinton , I am older he hung with alot of my cousins, who love and miss him. I just got the pleasure of getting to know him a bit more in the last few months , he is a great guy and has a heart of gold. He is loved and missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends! If the bad comments get flaged inappropriate 10 times I believe they will be deleted . someone asked me to do it before . I am flaging all the velevet and Steven one , thats not the one we all know.

Thank you everyone one! We appreciate the support! I know it's sad that we have to deal with trash, but unfortunately they feel this is the place to get their word out( or get off on being scumbags). Just ignore them if you can. I know it's disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach too. That's how cowards do it. Say what they want and don't have the heart and balls to meet and say it to you're face. I believe that's the definition of a heartless, spineless, balless, COWARD!!!! Thank you once again everyone!!!!

Never sold dope maggot! Never denied anything I did. Always had the BALLS too admit and take responsibility for MY actions. From the sound of you two I'm pretty sure both of you're closests are full of the most hideous crap imaginable. This stunt here is another bone for the collection! Sit behind you're keyboard, write like the coward you are. EVERYONE KNOWS BOTH OF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS OR HEART TO SAY IT TO MY FACE!!!! Never sold dope though maggot! I do what I say and say what I do, and I'll find you!!!! ;) keep talking!

You're a scumbag, everybody who knows you sez it.

And yes I posted ITSELF no mistake there!!

I know who u r all it took was a post!!! Ok coming to get you!!!
