21 yr old girl dies in boston due to idiots[views:19888][posts:129]______________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 5:24pm - dirtycrayon ""] i cant believe the herald printd that picture on the front cover. i think it was just a ploy to sell more newspapers which is fucking crazy. i really don't understand what drives a person to destruct property and riot just because a baseball team won. after the sox won, everyone in my house went crazy and immediately started destroying property. the girl downstairs got sparayed in the face with a fire extingusher and hundereds of kids from my school poured on to comm ave and just started going crazy destroying things. this baffles me --- watching our home team win should be a joyous event. i think people just use this as an opportunity to go ape shit for no fucking reason and it angers me to no end. it's horrible that ainocent bystander was killed. our city looks like crap because people think it's cool to smash and burn things. it's so fucked up. :/ end of rant |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 5:33pm - dreadkill ""] i love sports but i hate all the meatheads who riot whenever a team from their city wins a championship. it isn't just boston, it's everywhere. i feel bad for the family of the girl who died. i didn't see the picture on the herald. is it online anywhere? |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 6:07pm - todayistheday ""] yai cant beleive they showed that pic....totally fucked up |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 6:37pm - the_reverend ""] someone scan this cover and post it! |
| ________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:05pm - retzam ""] I can't find the picture anywhere on the internet. Someone on here must get the herald?? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:07pm - KeithMutiny ""] that cover IS NOT the girl that died, that is a woman that was hit in the eye with a pepperspray pellet fired into the crowd... different stories... FOR THE RECORD!!! |
| ________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:18pm - retzam ""] I'm pretty sure that the person who died was the one who got hit in the eye with a pepperspray bullet. I think she fell over and slammed her head on the ground. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:20pm - KeithMutiny ""] not, it was a seperate incident, similar, but seperate |
| ________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:22pm - retzam ""] ahhhh ok, i see but in that case, what is all the uprising about the picture about then? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 8:43pm - KeithMutiny ""] besides in here, i never heard any uprising... fuck they show dead us soldiers in Irag all the time... whats the big deal anyway... most of the people that were hurt there (again not all, MOST) deserved it for being fuckin stupid, or at least not being good enough to get away with it, so, whatever |
| ________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 9:53pm - retzam ""] litacore said:tbone_r said:they put the girls picture, as she's lying on the ground, on the front of the herald. they're gonna get shit for that http://news.bostonherald.com/eLetters/ Go to that link, there are plenty of letters to the herald about it. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 10:12pm - succubus ""] it was on NPR too just heard it driving home |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 11:07pm - dirtycrayon ""] the picture in the herald has a picture of a girl lying on the ground with blood oh her hands... the girl that died got hit in the eye by a pellet shot by a boston police officer. when you see the picure you immediately thik it's the girl that died because many newspapers have the girls pic on the cover. todays metro has a highschool pic of the girl. we are bombarded by pics of dead soldiers but it's kinda lame to print a pic of girl lying on the ground afer a red sox game ---- i think it's more of a ethical issue. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 22,2004 11:12pm - Nel ""] I can't tell who is more retarded - the numbskulls who have a deep-rooted hate for Sovereign Bank signs, or the "innocent" bystanders watching the destruction. Should anybody feel sorry for this girl? NO. She should've been home watching the chaos on T.V. like the rest of us. Everyone knows I'm a drunk piece of shit, but I know when the celebration is over and when to leave a hostile scene! |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 22,2004 11:27pm - dirtycrayon ""] wha if the girlwasn't standing and watching --- what if she was just walking by and got hit by a stray pellet? i think of his incident as a freak accident and she is innocent because she wasn't involved in destroying property and signs! yeah common sense will be to get the hell out of the area but it's not so easy when your in the midst of a riot of throng of people with police and crap around. a girl is dead --- have a fucking heart and a conscience. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 22,2004 11:59pm - Nel ""] The damage has been done. Here's where my heart and conscience comes in - I hope people learn from this tragedy and stay away from all the DANGER signs: vandalism, destruction, ... oh and the fucking police copters flying overhead! Chances are that no one learns from this. |

Everyone knows I'm a drunk piece of shit, but I know when the celebration is over and when to leave a hostile scene! I agree man. I have no sympathy for this girl. She was in a riot, the police were acting to a riot situation. She could have just left but she choose to stay. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 12:17pm - succubus ""] i had 2 shows at the avalon this week and i honestly did not want to deal with riots if something would have happened to me while trying to walk to my car i would have been pissed off |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 1:44pm - KeithMutiny ""] bring some brass knuckles and a baton, works for me |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 1:45pm - swamplorddvm ""] I can't find my brass nuckles. The're in my room somewere. |

| __________________________________________ [Oct 23,2004 3:53pm - intricateprocess ""] that really just sucks for that chick. wrong place at the wrong time. it sucks that a bunch of assholes fuck it up for everyone else as far as the pictures go, that really hit me hard and made me think they were pretty graphic,so i could see why people would be pissed, on the other hand i hope every dickhead that was causing chaos looked at those pictures long and hard |
| _______________________________ [Oct 24,2004 12:32am - Nel ""] Forget it! Dickheads won't learn. There wouldn't be any necessesity for riot officer action if it wasn't for those punks. And the girl in question could possibly be alive right now. These punks will never hold themselves accountable for anything! They are the same mfers that will wonder why they are getting expelled the following week. The papers are loving this shit! Graphic shots sell. This isn't just news... it's money in the pocket. They're all Scum! |

| _________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:21am - JayTUS ""] It's very unfortunate that all of this happened. But that's what happens when you mix alcohol with about 40 or so colleges in the 10-20 mile radius around Fenway Park. Most of the people down there weren't even Red Sox fans, they were just drunk college kids looking to "have fun." There are probably, what, 100,000 college kids in and around Boston? Maybe more? They certainly all aren't from Massachusetts or even New England for that matter, especially schools like Harvard, BU and Northeastern. It's unfortunate, but riots like these happen almost EVERY time a sports team wins a title. It happened in Detroit just this year when the Pistons won the NBA title. That was the last sports team that won one, and there were "riots" there. People climbing street lights and flipping cars and burning stuff are idiots no matter how you cut it. Believe it or not, I had been planning on driving to Boston if and hopefully when the Sox go for a fourth win to close out the series. Not even to go to the game, just to be a part of the atmosphere, to be a part of the celebration. That is probably exactly what A LOT of these kids that were down there were doing. Just trying to take it all in. But guess what, any time you get a crowd that big together, shit like this is going to happen. Things get carried away and all hell breaks lose. It has happened in all sorts of protests before, and this is no different. I feel really bad for that girl. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't see why the cop did what he did, but hindsight is always 20/20. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:23am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I am glad she is dead, she was a stupid cunt. I wish the same fate for her parents and her friends. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:23am - succubus ""] riots for sports = gay |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:24am - Joe/NotCommon ""] succubus said:sports = gay |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:27am - the_reverend ""] proving once and again, that watching sports are for fags. in the imortal words of somone "those who can, do. those who can't, teach" the only people who should be rejoicing are all the 7-18 year old kids who's dads are too busy caring about some shitty game and have no time to beat their kids for not making the ___ball team. reminds me of Al Bundy always recounting highschool stories. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:28am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I really hope there is no game 7 in the world series, it would ruin my show |
| _________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:31am - JayTUS ""] I hope there is no game 7 too Joe, I hope the series doesn't even come back to Boston!! |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:34am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Don't get me wrong, I am definately glad that girl died. I would like to see Boston win, but I'd rather they lose then there be a game 7. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:37am - JayTUS ""] They would have to lose four straight games for that to happen. All they have to do is win 2 of the next 4 for there to be no game 7. Otherwise... |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 11:40am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Either way, I am comforted by that girl's death. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 1:04pm - the_reverend ""] edited: removed cause I was asked why I wasn't posting them.. and then when I did, told to take them down. |
