Texan redneck apologizes for hitting 4 yr old to retrieve foul ball

Did you know that there are some countries that have no racial slurs/slang? I lived in one. The racial slurs they did know about were the ones from American/English movies.

What tha hell?

Wow, he should be shot. :rolleyes: The news and his family are pathetic.  Awwww, look at his pouting face he\'ll never be the same.

Giga, if you tryed to touch me for doing that I\'d drop you like a sake of potatoes.

They are blowing this thing up. People always hunt balls like that in the stands, it just so happened the only competition he had was a 4 year old kid.

Basically what I said :

I doubt he knew the little kid was there since his attention was on the ball. And there have been lots and lots of scuffles over baseballs before and it made zero news unless someone got hurt or fell off the stands. This kid just happened to be there.

When it comes to my son I wouldn\'t care if you were 8ft tall and 300 lbs.  If you hit my child, you would have been curled up in the fetal position from the beating you would have gotten from me.

I normally wouldn\'t resort to violence, but when my child is involved - it is a completely different story.  When you have a child you will understand.  Until then... please STFU.

I don\'t think the man intentionally hit the child. He\'s a big clumsy guy who fell over trying to catch the ball but fell over and rolled into the kid.

In hindsight, yes I would agree, but if it happened in front of me, I would ask questions later so to speak.  

People\'s children are a touchy subject.  When I was 18 I thought the same way Bozco did, I couldn\'t really stand kids, now being a parent, I have a completely different attitude.

Trust me, after over one week in Texas, I can now say that this state is severely screwed up.

(1) Lady thrown off the George Bush Turnpike, then her husband kills himself by jumping off of it.

(2) Cops caught on camera, breaking into people\'s cars.

(3) Countless crimes on the news..

(4) Gorilla jumps over the wall in the Dallas Zoo.

(5) Some numbnut goes crazy for a foul ball and trust me, it is on the Texas news every night at somepoint and he did knock the kid down.

(6) Texas is the single most confusing state layout wise. I don\'t think Capcom or I have ever been so lost. Everytime we go out, it is an hour affair of trying to figure out how we got lost. Jesus, Texas has the minimialistic signs down to a perfection. There is rarely a sign saying, "now entering Grapevine, Texas", instead you go to WAL-MART and buy something, check the receipt out and realize you are in a different town.

(7) Four people drowned in Fort Worth\'s local park. Not sure how they drowned in the fountain, but it made the news lastnight , so I switched.


This state is severely screwed up, but I sort of dig it.

Don\'t mess with Texas.

I will also say this is the single most religious state I have ever visited. There are countless religious music stations, countless massive churches and there are tons of old people.

I love kids, and really don\'t have a clue where you got that from.  It\'s just what the guy did wasn\'t the worst thing ever, and he didn\'t "hit" the kid.  You sound like the news all over again.

Alright - how about this, I think we can agree that for a grown adult, the man acted like a complete jackass.
Is that fair enough?

LIC I\'ve drove around in the North East United Sates and it is very confusing to get around also.  Not because some idiots dont know how to lay the streets out right but because Im from a different area and used to a different style.  Im sure it\'s the same with you.  I cant see how you missed Grapevine though, theres a highway not far from DFW that leads you right there.

I also think you came to Texas at a bad time, as some really screwed up things are happening lately.  But that crap happens everywhere.  Texas isn\'t screwed up, America is.
