Motor City Sonics

Kid gets a $1,000 gun for Christmas at 15. When I was 15 my dad got me skates, hockey gloves and a stick. Water main had burst in the field behind my house that year and the farmer wasn't fixing it until spring so we had a natural rink 30 yards from my back door. One day I was playing hockey and a kid from the neighborhood made a remark about my eye (I had a noticeable lazy eye). I slapped him in the face with the blade of my stick and cut him right under his eye. My dad took my skates and stick away because that's not what they were meant for. I mean, took them to his office. Couldn't play the rest of the winter. I had to apologize to the kid and his dad made him apologize to me. They made us shake hands and we wound up actually being friends after that. I think my dad handled things better than Jim Crumbley handled his son. But that's just my opinion.

I guess he really wasn't bullied so much after all. Just an angry, rotten human being. After reading mom's letter and knowing dad bought him a thousand-dollar automatic pistol, I'm not surprised he's totally fucked up. According to the witnesses he was calm as can be the entire time.

Well the plan is to still sign Correa, move Javy to 2B, Schoop to 1b and let Torkelson prove himself over the next 2 years until Schoop is gone.

I know, that was the Oh Wait............darn part

You know me so well.

An Army Major killed 13 people at Fort Hood before he was stopped. I think they had guns.

Not having the death penalty is worse for this kid. He doesn't seem to be the type who's in love with life. He'll be in jail for the rest of his life which could be a very very long time. Long after most of us are gone.

This reminds me of another 15 year old from Oregon. In 1998 Kip Kinkel was having rage issues. School talked to the parents. Psychologist told the parents that they had to be VERY careful and that they should not have any weapons within reach, not even in the house. So what does Dad do? He buys his son a gun two weeks later. The very gun Kip used to kill his parents and two kids at his school, and if it hadn't been for a kid named Jakob Ryker tackling him it would have been more.

Yeah, but if he gets hurt, we've got JaCob............oh wait....................darn !

Wow, that's just absolutely nuts and if it's true and can be proven, is that a lawsuit waiting to happen? I'm sure that'll help upcoming negotiations. Manfred has got to go................

Unfair. Look at the times he got injured. Crashed into a wall on a hustle play. Crashed into another player on a hustle play. The firstbaseman for the Rays was totally at fault for the season-ending injury because he got directly in the basepath (because he didn't know how to play first base) and Hill got hurt because he was hustling to beat the throw. I'll take that.

50 years ago it was a joke. Now it's a slogan.

I don't know how much metal detectors would stop it, but it probably would put some people at ease, but because schools need to have exits available and unlocked (for events like this), I don't think it would be too difficult for a kid to stash a gun near an exit and then go through the detectors and go retrieve their guns. Plus now people are posting how-to videos on making plastic guns with 3D printers that won't be detected in metal detectors. And 3D printers are getting cheaper every day.

The real problem is what is happening long before the explosion.

So baseball used two different balls last year? I mean, how much more does it take to remove Rob Manfred at this point? He's a joke.

Correa is gone Baez is our new man now Fire Jim Harbaugh

I hope they find out who is making threats to Avondale High School today. I hope they get 20 years in prison. I don't care if they are a kid. It's not funny in the least.

Exactly Frank Zappa.........or Mike Maddux.

He was yelling. And he's a disciple of Christopher Walken, who has all punctuation removed from his scripts.

In 2026 when they do the 20 year reunion for the AL Pennant winning team, it might get awkward.

Wayne LaPierre became leader of the NRA in 1991. They went from being a collecting interest to being a sales lobby and they used politics and fear to do it. The vast majority of gun owners wouldn't let their mentally-ill teenager anywhere near an automatic hand gun. We don't know if this father secured the gun and the kid found a way to get it anyway, or if he just bought it and gave it to him. If it's the latter, this is on him too and he needs to be charged.

If dad bought the gun specifically for his 15 year old son, he needs to be charged too and no slap on the wrist. 15 year olds don't need to have handguns.

Dad bought the gun 4 days ago. Did he buy it for the 15 year old?
