Can't have the Proles protecting themselves.
This whole story sounds wild. Lucky for the coach, both he and the Missus were packing. They know the Coach’s age, but not the name? It should be easy to identify most the assailants, who is the team member with the crazy Dad?
Crimes were committed. It is entirely inappropriate for the cops to decide on the spot what those crimes were and who committed them. That’s why we have due process.
Seems like the coach would know where to send the police since it was the father of one of his players who started the fight and showed the gun first.
I hope Mr. & Mrs. Coach have backups.
“I don’t understand why they confiscated the wifes and Coach’s guns.”
Let’s hope that the guns are returned to the legal owners of the guns after the perps are arrested.
Stay classy Holder People.
Had a situation like that several years ago. Thankfully I wasn’t been up. Several parents cornered me about why their little Gretzky’s weren’t getting equal playing time. I calmly explained ice time was earned and not an entitlement. They told me that when they pay 7k a year their kids are entitled. I disagreed and told them to read the contract each parent and player signed.
Five parents pulled their kids from the program. I went from 18 skaters to 13. In the end it was addition by subtraction as we won league championship.
This must be the “inherent risk of football” Morley Safer kept referring to in last Sunday’s Sixty Minutes...

This piece of trash idiot deserves some jail time.
Why did LE confiscate their weapons? So the five or six thugs can kill them?

I’d like to know more about the team, the coach and the attackers. Off hand, and without information, I guess that it was racially motivated.
Hmph. I wouldn’t pay 7K a year to have a kid ride a hockey bench either.
“The guns used by the coach and his wife were confiscated”
So they can’t do THAT again, right, cops?

gee - its appears to be a nice park. WARNING: Video with violence and language
If someone is beating up on me, I want Mrs. Tick to SHOOT THE BASTARD! Not shoot into the air.
(Of course, if Mrs. Tick happens to be the one that is beating up on me, I’ll have to go to plan B. Whatever that is.)
That was probably tuition, and not team related.
It’s a given that daily carry weapons should be reliable but inexpensive units or worn out old work horses, while the pristine engraved safe-queens stay where they belong, in the safe.
