1. Not nearly a long enough sentence for this POS.

He had the autistic kid hit TWICE (and one was in the junk). Have fun in general population, asshole.

5. Oh I think he'll get whats coming to him.

Who would think of something that? He has no pity. Well, I don't either...for him!

2. That is disgusting

3. So this asshole takes a Little League game this seriously?

As a former LL coach who let the kids play and have fun, I must say that I have seen this all too often. Small men (and women occaisionally), who think that Little league is the fucking World Series.
I had an assistant coach who screamed at and verbally abused the 9-11 yr olds on my team. He had them so stressed out that they were having fist fights with each other on the field and in our dugout. I fired him and he showed up at the next practice telling the kids that he is the "real coach" and if he's gone this team will never win again. I let him have his say and sent him on his way. We won the next/last five games of the season and the kids were happy and loose.
Why do these assholes take a game, for kids, that they are supposed to have FUN playing, and turn it into something for them.
I'd have given him 10 years.
Bastard!

4. How much did the nine-year old pitcher get?

Most kids know that's not right at that age.

6. He actually only got "ONE to six" years...

SNIP: UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A youth baseball coach
convicted of offering an 8-year-old money to bean
an autistic teammate so he couldn't play was
sentenced Thursday to one to six years in prison.

He deserves more, IMHO...but more importantly, let's hope
this conviction prevents him from ever working with
children again. Mindsets like his are a poison that
children should not be exposed to or influenced by.

8. Ah, didn't catch that.

Well, let's hope he serves the full sentence.

7. as far as I'm concerned, this pos is lucky

He's lucky the child isn't my son. As a parent, I read stories like this and I can't help but think I would go batshit crazy if this was done to my baby. WTF is wrong with people? :grr:
