Bostonherald.com - 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.

Wtf?    There has to be more to this story right?   I mean what type of scumbag attacks a family stuck in traffic with a baseball bat because they have NY plates?  See this is where the Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry gets a bad wrap in my opinion.    Because I refuse to believe that anybody would do something like this just because they hate the Yankees or vice versa.   Listen, you need to be totally fucked in the heat to attack a car with a baseball bat under any circumstances.   So yeah the NY thing may have set this kid off, but if it wasn’t this, it would have been something else later in the night like somebody blinked at him the wrong way.  Bottom-line is that assholes are assholes and they’ll act like it regardless of whether they are Red Sox or Yankees fans.   It has nothing to do with being from Boston or a reflection on Red Sox fans.  Kid is just a scumbag.   End of story.
