To begin, I abhor "specialty" laws. An assault on a woman or child should not be considered any more contemptible than that of a man. An assault on an authority figure should not be handled any different than an attack of a common citizen. An assault on a sports official shouldn't be any different than someone who is attacked by a neighbor for playing their music too loud.
The problem is that those who tout themselves as the defenders of justice carry a varied set of values based upon their individual moral and social perceptions and not the equality we are all supposed to be blindly applied.
The only reason there are specialty laws for sports officials is because you have lawyers and judges who ignore the constitution, the Bill of Rights and all associated laws of protection because someone has sold them on the belief that a sporting event is a high-stress, high-tension exercise for the participants and fans and a valid excuse to lose control of oneself. BULL$HIT! If that were a fact, we should all be allowed to take a bat to a fielder's head when they make an error that takes the game into extra innings.
Of course, this is an absurd statement and obviously would not be considered an acceptable excuse because we are the arbiters who are supposed to have the "tough skin" and deaf ears. Well, BULL$HIT, again.
But let a student bring cakes and cupcakes to school accompanied with a cake knife.....put the school into lock down, take the student into custody and call out the National Guard!
This country's justice system is just way out of control!
