NASHUA, N.H. - A 43-year-old Nashua, N.H. woman faces murder charges after a man she's accused of running down during the weekend died.

Witnesses say the incident was sparked by an argument between Red Sox and Yankees fans at a Nashua bar early Friday morning.

Ivonne Hernandez is accused of killing 29-year-old Matthew Beaudoin, and injuring his friend, 21-year-old Maria Hughes, by running them down with her car. She's also charged with drunken driving.

I think this means I finally can stop hearing about that ridiculous thing where the poor Yankee fan got beat up at a Harvard square bar.

Here's the story in the Globe:

David Abel - Red Sox-Yankees spat cited in N.H. killing

Prosecutors would only say that an argument led to the attack. But a relative of Beaudoin’s said the scuffle escalated after a group of people that included Beaudoin saw a Yankees sticker on the back window of Hernandez’s car. They began chanting “Yankees suck!”

“I want her to rot in a cold jail cell for the rest of her life and remember every day the face that hit her windshield,” Faith Beaudoin, the victim’s sister, said in a telephone interview. “I want her to remember that she took a wonderful, kind-hearted gentleman. She has children of her own. How could she want to harm another’s child?”

Hernandez allegedly sped toward the group, striking Beaudoin and his friend Maria Hughes, 21, with whom she apparently had a fist fight shortly before in the parking lot. Hughes suffered minor injuries.

Hernandez, of Nashua, was arrested at the scene. She acknowledged she had been drinking and refused to take a breath-alcohol test, said Susan Morrell, a senior assistant attorney general. Hernandez said she had been in an argument with the group.

"She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way," Morrell said. "She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people."

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that killing someone because they are a Red Sox (or Yankee) fan suggests that one might have sort of let this rivalry thing get a bit out of proportion.

I know, that's a pretty radical statement but I stand behind it smokin.gif

Since Yankfee fans are drunk or drugged out 99.9% of the time, I'd guess, yes.

Apparently the Sox fan was chanting "Yankee's suck".

That's an annoying chant. Not worthy of death, but the guy needed to be b!tch slapped or something.
