North Vallejo Little League canceled after parent shoots gun

[alp227]

The North Vallejo Little League season has been canceled indefinitely after shots were fired at a game this week.

The field where Major League All-Star pitcher, CC Sabathia played as a kid is empty. The sounds of baseball were silenced after a parent fired shots into the vehicle of a parent from the opposing team on Wednesday.

"Fired a weapon at a tee ball game. First of all, how do you bring a gun to a tee ball game and second, how do you fire it off?" asked Anthony Spears, a North Vallejo Little League father.

Now Spears says his son's season has been canceled indefinitely until the North Vallejo Little League can figure out how to ensure the safety of its players.

1. Why don't they just arm the players

That way, if you're out in the field, and you see someone who looks dangerous, or is from an opposing team, they could take care of the problem, and continue to play.

2. I agree ...plus, it would be a great way to keep a player from reaching home plate.

"Son, you pulled off a great shot at little Bobby in the nine inning...heh..heh his parents are REALLY pissed off, not about Bobby but about losing the game! "

4. But the Second Amendment is sacred to the god of death

And the god of death demands daily sacrifices. We can't give that up, can we?

Some people take Little League waaaaay too seriously.

8. Thanks a lot, gun humpers!

You've turned every fun event into a potentially fatal outing. Want to go to a movie? You might get shot. Want to go to the mall? You might get shot. Want to go to your kid's baseball game? You might get shot.

Good times, good times. Yay, freedom.
