Two parents engaged in combat over the perceived slights to the fruit of their wombs. These parents let things get carried away and then BAM! If this sort of nonsense continues to happen, I would hope that Donald Trump would continue on his goal to shut down such things unless enough security is provided.

You defended his action in the other post/topic. His actions were NOT justified, in the fact there were no one else arrested and he is on the run. Verbal and even slight physical altercations do not justify use of deadly force. Also, if the Mother was an aggressor and was actively engaged and not trying to remove herself from the situation, the Son had no legal justification to defend her period.

I know that the only time I have been challenged to a physical fight in the last 25 years was at my daughters soccer game. She was 12 at the time. Let's just say that another parent and I had a disagreement over whether a foul should have been called on a certain play.

That is a fact. Some of the moms take that business more seriously than the dads. Back when mine were doing youth sports, I witnessed a whole bunch of parents get into screaming fights over all kinds of crazy stuff. Fortunately, i never experienced any of them throwing blows but wondered if it was about to happen.

Instead of prison time, we should sentence (non-violent) offenders to being referees for kids sports games. I've often wondered why anyone would voluntarily do that job.
