First Blood Drawn in Sox-Yanks War

This totally negates the kid A-rod saved from an oncoming car the other year.

According to the victim’s sister, Hernandez got into a fist fight early Friday morning in the parking lot with a woman in the group, and then stalked off to her car. Some in the group saw a Yankees sticker on her car and began taunting her with a familiar chant in Red Sox Nation: “Yankees suck! Yankees suck!” prosecutors said.

Hernandez then pulled out of the parking space aggressively and nearly hit one of the men in the group, said the victim’s sister, who spoke to other members of the group about what happened. Hernandez exited the parking lot as members of the group continued to taunt her, prosecutors said, and then turned around.

“She thought they would get out of the way,” Susan Morrell, a senior assistant attorney general, said yesterday in Nashua District Court, where Hernandez was arraigned on charges of reckless conduct, aggravated drunken driving, and second-degree murder. “She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people.

I guess we know for sure which group of fans is the bigger group of murderous dinguses now, huh?

And is the blood on the hands of Hank Steinbrenner and Larry Lucchino, for taking this rivalry to ridiculously insane levels?

No more than it is on yours for constantly ######## about it.

The rivalry sounds tangenital to the entire incident.

I hope that's not a serious question.

I'd just like to say that this is one of the greatest typos I've seen in a long while

This appears to be the key sentence:
Hernandez got into a fist fight early Friday morning in the parking lot with a woman in the group, and then stalked off to her car.
There was a feud which had already escalated to violence well before issues of fandom became involved.

I tend to think they could have taunted her for the shape of her nose or quality of her high school and produced a similar reaction.

In that event, I'll leave it for posterity.

Kind of like how a Brooklynite shot a Giants fan 75 years ago, when PR was in its infancy?

This more than cancels out one murderer, right?

aggravated drunken driving

Ah, alcohol. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.

hey! dick cheney is not one of us!

all i'm sayin' is that Connecticut is gonna be a warzone. poor mets fans will be like the Coptics in and around Israel, wondering why they gotta get blown up by the Israelis and Arabs.

i've already been compiling a list of yankee fans in Minneapolis for when orders come down from on high to purge the cockroaches.

Is that when you slit your own throat?
   15. Drew (Primakov, Gungho Iguanas) Posted: May 06, 2008 at 05:52 PM (#2770868)
I'm really tired of articles like this. It feeds the concept that people shouldn't be responsible for their own actions.

The hatred, or people having enough money left after taxes to own and operate a car?

Genocidinal humor is a mother lode of untapped comic potential.

tragedy + time = comedy!

Typical East Coast media bias. You never hear about it when an Astros fan kills a Twins fan.
   22. IronChef Chris Wok Posted: May 06, 2008 at 10:18 PM (#2771135)
We're all getting laughed at by European Soccer fans for our cowardness

Edit: if you ever think you're going too far, just ask yourself "Would an AC Milan fan do this do a Black Inter Milan fan?" If the answer is "No", then you've gone too far.

so what you're saying is... anything goes?
