Twelve days after he was set upon by a rowdy crowd of Los Angeles Lakers fans at the Staples Center, Gabriel Mendivil’s dream of witnessing a Boston Celtics [team stats] victory parade comes true today.
Mendivil, 33, of San Bernardino, Calif., landed at Logan International Airport yesterday afternoon thanks to generous Herald readers who arranged for his cross-country travel after reading about his ordeal: a beating that gained fame after it was posted on YouTube.
“All I wanted to do is go to the parade,” said Mendivil, who wore a Paul Pierce [stats] jersey for his JetBlue [JBLU] flight from Long Beach, Calif. “I really appreciate the people in Boston. They really blessed me.”
