Tom [Giants fan] Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 BOSTON -- New England Patriots fans turned rowdy after their team's Super Bowl victory, flipping cars and lighting small fires as thousands swarmed the streets. One person was killed when an allegedly drunken driver backed his sport utility vehicle into a group of revelers. In Kenmore Square, near Boston University, college-aged fans thronged the streets around garbage fires Sunday night. A local television station reported that one of its vans was vandalized, and the crew had to be escorted from the area by police. Across town near Northeastern University, fans flipped about a half dozen cars. An SUV struck several people early Monday, killing James Grabowski, 21, of West Newbury, and injuring three others, one critically. The SUV was stuck in a crowd of revelers when the driver put the car in reverse, then shifted into forward, striking pedestrians and a police officer, authorities said. Grabowski was the son of State Police Capt. Daniel Grabowski. The family had no comment Monday. The driver, Stanley Filoma, 24, of Boston, was arrested a short distance away. He was arraigned Monday on charges including vehicular homicide while operating under the influence. Bail was set at $10,000. Filoma was over the legal limit when he was given a breath test three hours after he was stopped, district attorney spokesman David Procopio said. Filoma's lawyer, Steven Sack, didn't return a call. In the city's busy Allston neighborhood, which is home to many students and has many bars and nightclubs, firefighters hosed down revelers to disperse the crowd. Temperatures were in the mid-20s. Three people were arrested, police said. Crowds dispersed by about 1:30 a.m. At the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, police in riot gear cleared a crowd of hundreds of fans after they set a fire and refused to disperse. There were no reports of trouble at the University of Rhode Island and the University of New Hampshire, where violence broke out after Red Sox playoff games last fall. Boston plans a noontime parade Tuesday that will wind its way to a rally at City Hall Plaza, where two years ago about 1.2 million fans celebrated the Patriots' Super Bowl win -- its first -- over the St. Louis Rams.St. Louis Rams.

New Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Nice. Can you just imagine in the Red sox finally win it all. Or better yet, lose the series again. I thought Ohio State had the monopoly on rioting win or lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montilar Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Filoma hasn't got a hope in h*ll...... the kid of a state police captain. If they could fry him, you know he would get it. But he deserves whatever they can give him, regardless of who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyRules Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Just look at the problems they have in College Park when the Terps either win a big game or lose. It really doesn't matter with these kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdn_PACK Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 My God.....if there are ppl being killed in the New England area, just imagine Philly.... The possibilities are endless... 1 ) Those idiots would find a way to ignite the entire state of Pennsylvaniahowever 2 ) Dubbya would have to get on the TV and declare the state of Pennsylvania is no more after those drunken fools destroy it. Then again....the idea of the Philadelphia Eages actually being in a meaningful chess match of a football game is totally absurd. I think we're all lucky that a mind like John Fox made it instead of a tub of lard like Andy Reid. I'll say it right now.....if walking salad bar and the Iggles had played in that game last night, they would have been dismantled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 TC4, I thought that was a pic of philly's urban renewal program or was that the end of negotiations with MOVE. An SUV struck several people early Monday, killing James Grabowski, 21, of West Newbury, and injuring three others, one critically. The SUV was stuck in a crowd of revelers THOSE Killer SUVs need to be stopped. Why cant they behave like midsized and compact cars which never hurt others? Is there an obedience school for SUVs?

Chief skin Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Just a bunch of low class a$$holes, half of them are probably bandwagoneers that follow the team only when it makes the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Hog Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 DaRock.........."Oh the humanity" would be a line from the mouth of Newman on a Seinfeld episode. I believe it is when his mail truck lights on fire after driving on the piece of highway that Kramer adopted and used paint thinner on, if I remember correctly.
