Good. Maybe somebody will throw something at his head while he's there. Here's to six years without parole.

SanDiegoSteve Thu Oct 12, 2006 04:01pm

6 months to 3 years for each of 2 counts. Good!

I voted in the poll that this article provided. It gives 3 choices: Too light a sentence, too heavy a sentence, and just about right. I chose "just about right," which now has 39%. I was surprised that the "sentence was too heavy" choice is winning with 40% of the vote.

Corruption of minors? Didn't that used to be a capital offense?

Delibrerating throwing at anyone is reprehensible but for a coach to tell a child to do that is inexcusable and should be severely punished. I'm not sure how a jail sentence is going to fix the situation but I'm glad that the justice system is treating this seriously.

LLPA13UmpDan Fri Oct 13, 2006 03:17pm

so i guess this can open a new can of worms. I guess now people that get hit by ball will now sue and press charges

Did you even comprehend the story? If someone pays a child to hit another child with a baseball intentionally, it's a crime !. The severity of what
occurred is magnified by the fact that the victim is " autistic and mildly
retarded". Moron........

I just posted a complete, coherent, polite response to this, and then deleted it as not appropriate.

Are you KIDDING ME? You are mad (based on your smiley) that this guy was sent to jail for forcing a child to throw a ball at an autistic teammate so he would not be forced to play that teammate in a game? Good God.

With all apologies in advance to whatever moderators might find this offensive, I cannot respond to this with anything less than: "You're a freaking idiot". And that is 5 levels tamer than what I'm thinking.

I think "asinine" is more appropriate: Definition 2: relating to or resembling an a$$.

NFump Fri Oct 13, 2006 04:34pm

Awwww.....ease up on the little fella. I think he meant (the smiley that is) that he was unhappy with the fact that now people may think they can sue over the child getting hit. Not that he was unhappy with the decision to put the %&^@#**&%&$%@ in jail.

I think that he should be forced to take batting practice every day, with someone who throws like Rick Vaughn fresh out of the California Penal League.

Wow, very intelligent. Well thought out too! Brilliant!

That is exactly what i meant. Yea, he did diserve a punishment for what he did. Now what im saying now, from this, are LL parents and such going to try suing and pressing charges if their child gets hurt from getting hit. What baseball has come to. :rolleyes:

Thanks again, Garth. You just keep sending them our way and we'll try to set them straight without acting like a bunch of jerks.

briancurtin Fri Oct 13, 2006 07:22pm

does LLPA13UmpDan read any of the threads he goes into, or even the posts that he himself makes?

Saltydog Fri Oct 13, 2006 07:42pm

Not trying to undermine anyones fun, but
 
What ever happened to the Minor player who hurled his bat at the PU early season?

Abstractly, this is a real chicken and egg thing... did this 'coach', and I choke on that word because he is far from my definition, think he could do this because that's how it is in the bigs. Or was the Moron Minor infected with this coming up through the ranks? And don't leap on this too hard, but isn't it a bit sad that the kid that was asked to do this went through with it!?
Just some rambling thoughts.

Hey, I'm doing my best to help you out. I keep sending them, but they keep coming back. You need to work on giving them a reason to stay.

Assuming you read and understood the article...(big stretch)

You are a perfect example all that is bad and reprehensible in our society.

Representing Evil as Good, Family as Bad, Criminal's as Victim's, Terrorist's as Hero's.

Do us all a favor, and find a new planet to call home.

I guess nobody here ever got sued for implausible reasons? You people don't think there's some bottom feeder out there completely failing to understand the case and storing it away for future, uh...reference?

Now what would drive you to write up such an insane comment? I simply stated something.

Let's set the scene:

"Your Honor, I am basing my civil suit against Timmy for hitting my client Raphie during the game, on the precident set in the criminal case in which the coach instructed and paid one of his own players to bean a weak teammate during warm-ups."

Yeah, I guess it could happen. There's probably a Lincoln Law School* grad out there somewhere.

While I am loath to type anything that may be misconstrued as a defense of LiLBoyDan, that was a bit over the top, Nick.

You stated something that was idiotic. Using a smiley face or a frown doesnt fool us. You are an idiot.

Please go back to your daily posts about chest protectors and leg guards.

You stated that you now feared that because a coach is going to jail for telling a child to injure an autistic child, that baseball has gone astray and now we're going to see lawsuits pop up when people are hit by baseballs.

You equate a justified penalty on someone corrupting our youth to bad things coming.

I thought his response was right on the head.

All I wonder now is - if the insane call you insane, does that make you sane?

This thread was closed not because of the Pink Floyd lyrics (although they didn't add anything) but because the thread had run its course and was becoming only a "dump on Dan" thread.
