Yeah, way to go Globe, thanks for the old news. The incident happened on a "recent afternoon"?! That was April 10 and a story is published today, April 26? I see lots of comments though, they must be happy at the Globe.
Btw Somerville News reported on this on April 11 http://thesomervillenews.com/main.asp?SectionID=2&SubSectionID=2&ArticleID=3684&TM=42812.66

now i'm curious if he spat or not since the newer article (which is Almost somewhat recent to the incident) indicates it may not have happened. that's a major factor, but i'm still not ok with physical violence at a business.

oddly enough, i went there today with some noobs who hadn't even been to ball square yet, let alone heard of this debacle. they thought i was telling crazy lies about everything!

i'm curious as to who strongly favors one over the other (and why)?

To be fair, this isn't necessarily a breaking news kind of story. They aren't covering the alleged assault as much as the overall animosity.
