2. I actually laughed when I first read it....

but from a mature aspect, that just shows what our culture can do to people. So much competition.

3. Real nice Dad. Wonder how he will feel if his child ever has a disability

Hope he has to do many, many hours of community service with disabled children.

4. If that's his state of mind, he needs treatment . . .

and the court ought to order him to foot the bill for treatment for both the little assailant and the eight-year-old who was assaulted.

5. This sounds like...

"The coach was very competitive," state police Trooper Thomas B. Broadwater said. "He wanted to win."


The kind of coach who was the reason I took my little guy OUT of t-ball.

In my case, he was a verbally abusive asshole whose dream was to get to the Little League World Series. I had to take my son and leave for the coach's protection. I probably would have hit him.

6. This story makes me want to throw up.

I can't believe anyone could be so cruel.

What is happening to us?
