Fan killed in Super Bowl celebration
Associated Press

2/2/2004

BOSTON (AP) - 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 a driver backed his sport utility vehicle into a group of revellers.

James Grabowski, 21, died when the SUV plowed into fans near Northeastern University, the Suffolk District Attorney's office said. Three others were injured, one critically.

The driver, Stanley Filoma, 24, sped off, but was arrested a short distance away. He was arraigned Monday on charges of vehicular homicide while operating under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in personal injury and failing to stop for a police officer, Suffolk DA spokesman David Procopio said. Bail was set at $10,000 cash.

Six cars were also overturned in the area and several others were damaged. Acting Police Commissioner James Hussey said three arrests were made for the ``outrageous behaviour'' and police hoped to make more.

One of those injured was a Boston police officer whose injuries were not life-threatening, police said. The officer was on duty and was trying to stop the car from hitting the crowd.

In Kenmore Square, near Boston University, college-aged fans thronged the streets around garbage fires. A local TV station reported that one of its vans was vandalized, and the crew had be escorted from the area by police.

``Unfortunately, there were those who used this event as an excuse to break laws and destroy property,'' Hussey said.

In the city's Allston neighbourhood, home to many college students and nightclubs, firefighters hosed down revellers in hopes of dispersing the crowd.

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.

The city plans a rally for Tuesday at City Hall Plaza, where two years ago about 1.2 million fans celebrated the Patriots' first Super Bowl win over the St. Louis Rams.

``I'll be there. No doubt,'' said David Harrison, who joined hundreds of other fans who flooded the streets around Boston's historic Faneuil Hall seconds after Adam Vinatieri's 41-yard field goal in the waning seconds capped a 32-29 win over the Carolina Panthers.

It was a remarkably similar ending to the 2002 Super Bowl, when Vinatieri's field goal sealed the victory over St. Louis.

``Could you ask for a better script?'' said Jim Jackson, 44, of Boston, who was partying at The Rack billiards club. ``It's a Hollywood ending - again.''

At least they aren't as bad as those crazy Muslims

MINA, Saudi Arabia (AP) - At least 244 people were trampled to death and hundreds more hurt Sunday under the crush of worshippers in one of the deadliest disasters during the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

The stampede occurred during the stoning of the devil, an emotional and notoriously perilous hajj ritual. Pilgrims frantically throw rocks, shout insults or hurl their shoes at three stone pillars - acts that are supposed to demonstrate their deep disdain for Satan.

glencar Bostonians are among the rudest fans ever. I'll never, ever forget what went on after the stinky Bosox blew last year's pennant to the Yankees again. If gay was bad, Bostonians are the gayest people around.

stonedatbirth666 Glencar, you must be a homo yourself to come up with such a silly statement!

mac_daddy glad to hear it, jaxx...

coach B. was a star on Letterman tonight - the whole show was particularly good this evening, but the Belichick segment was great...

however, no mention was made of the fans who were injured or killed.

Ah! Don't worry too much about that too much. We'll be winning back to back SuperBowls....like Elway...just to pay Denver back for all those lossses we've suffered at Mile High. Brady is God up here @ the moment. And to see him upstaged by likes of Justin Timberlake...well...it just ain't right.

Oh and by the way, I owe an apology to everyone who dissed him about being on stage with Stones. They were RIGHT!!! He IS ...well...a very BAD man.

glencar Yes, I too defended his appearance with the Stones but I hadn't realized how lame he still was. I thought Justin had developed as an "artist" but clearly he still sucks. What was Mick thinking?
