7K a year for a youth sport is insane

Let’s hope that the guns are returned to the legal owners of the guns after the perps are arrested.

They will be....after two years and the hiring of an attorney.

Whomever trained his wife on CC didn't do his job. Six men with guns(s?) and brass knuckles attack her husband. Warning shot? Absolutely not in this instance. The warning should have been the collapsing body of the first man she shot. Brass knuckles are a deadly weapon.

If that warning shot into the air came down and injured/killed someone a block away she would be in jail now on manslaughter charges.

Plan B involves multiple renditions of “Yes Dear”, and a substantial Florist Bill . . . .

Just remember to grovel like you mean it. You don’t HAVE TO mean it, just grovel like you do. [grin]

Very good! Without knowing it, I’ve been practicing for Plan B since after the honeymoon! :-)

to be fair, i don’t know how the confrontation took place, it’s possible that she didn’t want to take the chance that she may hit her husband.

Certainly. Then again, there were SIX to choose from.

Go to a big Texas high school football game, and there will be at least 20 offduty LEOs working the game.

I don't understand why they confiscated the wifes and Coach's guns.

It sounds like it was at a school. In most states you can not bring even a legally owned and carried firearm into a school.

That is true but shooting into a group of seven people she may have hit her husband.

Here in Minnesota kids hockey costs about 2.5K - 3K per year. Association fees, team slush fund, equipment, tournament travel & hotels. Off-season programs can double that.

It is widely practiced that the lines are rotated evenly until playoff time. Parents are paying money so their kids can improve at hockey. Any coach that shorts the bench is hurting the kids for his own ego.

Things change for high school hockey. Parents don’t pay as much and better players play more.

I knew this was going to happen. I was alarmed back in the late 90's early oo's when my friends were all obsessed with going to everyone of their child's games, meets etc. Then it got worse, they started hanging around at practice.

Does no one work anymore?

My parents came to maybe one game a year.

Hey! Not every kid is going to go pro! Why can't kids just be kids and play a game for the joy of it?

I feel so sorry for these kids with these over supportive parents. You are putting to much pressure on them and all that caterwauling from the sidelines is really unattractive!

I did consider that.

But, assuming that to be the case, a shot into the soft ground would have been safer for innocent people in the area.

I also considered the possibility that she could have stepped to within a couple of feet and plugged one of them, even if they were piled on top of him.

All easy to say, of course. Monday morning analysis of a sudden crisis is academic at best. I still go with the warning shot into the ground.

It’s not clear but if the practice was on school grounds, there may be laws against gun possession on school property. Not good laws, mind you, but laws.

The guns used by the coach and his wife were confiscated, but no arrests have yet been made.

And the thugs know where he lives...are the police going to guard his home 24/7?

Spent 3 years in Alaska as a yut.

Most kids had a rink in their backyard. Pickup games were sandwiched around runs to the house for food. Elementary schools had hockey teams. It was great to be a kid...
