Man held in Fourth of July attack By Ira Kantor Sunday, July 6, 2008
A 20-year-old man was arrested Friday night for allegedly attacking a New York Yankees fan with a baseball bat after a Fourth of July fireworks display in Falmouth.
According to police, officers responded to 153 Worcester Court after receiving a report about a fight in progress. On arrival, officers noticed several youths, including Robert Donald Correia of Falmouth, bothering a family in its car because the vehicle had New York license plates.
Police said Correia and others accused the family of being Yankees fans. The family was unable to move the vehicle because of heavy traffic while leaving the event.
The unidentified father in the car asked the youths to stop because children were present. Police said that was when Correia and others allegedly attacked him with a baseball bat, resulting in a head injury.
The victim’s car was also vandalized, according to police. Correia was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and malicious destruction to a motor vehicle. He will be arraigned Monday in Falmouth District Court.
Good thing the perp was raised in “tolerant” Massachussets. It could have been much worse.
RedSox Nation and Obamanation—perfect together.
This is a New England disease. Something in the air up their that turns people into hate filled liberals it appears.
Seriously...what the hell is in the water up there???
The judge should make these pukes clean the Visitor’s locker room at Fenway for the next Yankees series. And then get Jason Giambi to bash each one of them on the head with his bat, just for good measure.
this creep will be arraigned?
he should be euthanized.
That said, what the driver needed to do was then say "Perhaps you didn't hear what I said [sound of a model 1911 .45 slide being racked], there are children in the car, now leave."
Beats me. But there's something. I was born and raised there; finally escaped for good 17 years ago.
In Massachusetts, that form of self defense will get you one year MANDATORY in a state pen. Wouldn't matter if you were protecting the Pope.
Anyone serious about carrying a 1911 already has it in conditon one.
Life isn’t a movie.
Maybe not after heller. I think a strong case could be made using those circumstances.
Like there have not been any instances of Sox fans being jacked by Yankee fans? Do a You Tube search and you will find a clip of a 12 year old boy being intimidated and called all sorts of names by classy adult Yankee fans.
with respect to your suggestion about Giambi, looks like the greasebag is back on the illegal PEDs based on his season. He might actually be able to do some real damage.
Heller addresses ownership. Concealed carry is a whole ‘nother thing. Even Scalia said that local governments could regulate to “some degree.”
I'd say the same thing if the sites were reversed and would offer Manny Ramirez to do the batting. Hell, Mannie would PAY to hit a NY fan in the noggin'.
No.
Really? Manny won’t even pay for a couple extra tickets to get some friends into a game. He’d rather attack a Red Sox employee than pay.
Regulate to “some degree” yes, but here is a situation that clearly called for self defense. All I’m saying is that Mass. law could be challenged since Heller found that the restrictions imposed by DC were too severe. Other states do not consider having a firearm in the vehicle “concealed carry.” It will take test cases to move the ball and this situation had potential to be such a case. It is a shame that the Mass legislature accomplished what the British failed to do in 1775.
Dream on. The LE system and justice system in boston reserve that kind of treatment for law abiding, responsible citizens that want to defend themselves. The thugs are free to roam.
