it's a mad, mad world

last friday i heard one of the craziest news stories i had heard in some time. an oregon man who referees recreational soccer gave a yellow card to a 17 year old player during the course of the game. the 17 year old snapped and retaliated by punching the ref in the head.

the refeeree went to the hospital for what they initially suspected to be minor injuries. except it turned out to be not so minor as the man lapsed into a coma and died from his injuries.

the part that really blows my hair back is that this was not the first time the ref was attacked, nor was it the first time he was injured seriously. he'd suffered broken bones in prior attacks. broken bones!! i do not understand the man's desire to keep refereeing games. but mostly i do not understand the actions of the 17 year old.

i hope you like wearing orange kid.

in other news i added another 180 words but i am ultimately not happy with this evenings efforts.
