A grown ass crazy looking man, protected and served by the thug gang, beating up a child. Fake Billy Bad Ass is going to run up on the wrong one....

A grown man attacks a 13 year old boy and cops are like “Well I don’t see a crime here.”

Nope; it should have been done a while ago.

The stadiums are designed to distract you no matter what age you are, even when players are at-bat. Vendors, stuff on the video boards, food and drink...the teams/orgs themselves are doing what they can to keep you from paying full attention.
