Another umpire assaulted

[danreeves1973]

In Texas if it was a coach assaulting the umpire, Class A Assault, a misdemeanor. Actual physical contact and bodily harm would have to ensue, but they go to jail, I'd guess at least $2500 bond.

Now if it was a parent, non participant of the game, then simply threatening the umpire with harm is a Class B misdemeanor, no contact needed, free trip to jail.

for your reference...Texas Penal Code, CH 22, sect 22.01 (c)(2) A or B

and there is no excuse at all for parents getting that stupid.
