According to Springfield, Mass. news network WWLP, 34-year-old Timothy Forbes was charged with mayhem, assault and batter and disorderly conduct on Monday in Springfield District Court after turning himself in to police.

The perp, Timothy Forbes. I've my suspicions of why they do not name or picture the victim.

And you are correct as to the reason for the complete blackout on info about the victim until the story died down.

The victim of the attack is Jose Feliciano

And, it’s Massachusetts, a Catholic school league, my guess is that ALL involved are white, and you know....IRISH. (Full disclaimer - as am I.)

And your guess would be wrong. See #27 and 28 and you will know the reason for the info blackout regarding the victim.

Thank you for the update PapaBear3625.

Well, I couldn’t have been more hopelessly wrong!

Oh well, thanks for the ping. You know I think I did see a pic of the perp elsewhere, but I didn’think back to this thread.
