Blog 3: Crime at the Ballpark

In America over three years ago two San Francisco Giants fans beat a Los Angeles Dodgers fan after a game, which ultimately led to the beaten man having brain damage.  This happened in 2011 after the opening game in the parking lot.  The two attackers are now facing two to four years in prison.  The father of the beaten man commented that the attackers are both cowards and will never have to go through what the beaten man now has to go through.  He will forever have brain damage and can no longer live on his own.

In a story like this, all you can do is look at how lost the world is.  Honestly, it is simply sad because in the court case as the judge was talking to the two men that were not at all remorseful about their acts.  The judge commented that, "At the end of the day, it was only a game. ... And you lost perspective."  This is so true.  Weather or not drinking was involved should not even matter.  Being drunk is NEVER an excuse for what happened and you are still held under the same law as if you were drunk.  Both men should spend the rest of their lives in jail.
