There were 223 murders in Boston from 1973 to 1974, but only two dozen involved blacks killing whites. Hicks claimed, however, that there were "at least one hundred black people walking around in the black community who have killed white people during the last two years." Hicks took aim at "radical agitators" and "pseudo-liberals" of the counterculture. She declared that "white women can no longer walk the streets Boston in safety" and that "justice come to mean special privileges for the black man and the criminal." She attacked "black militants tyrannize our schools, creating chaos and disruption."
