So I had to bust my butt off to get the day off of work today to go to Milwaukee to see the Cubs play the Brewers (note: I'm a Cub fan). Got somebody to work for me at the last minute, but since we got the tickets so late we are in nosebleed country (about as high as you can go, but behind home plate at least); where we sat didn't matter because it puts a day break in my 8-day work week. I was thinking how fun this will be because it's a weekday and it's around finals time so there shouldn't be many obnoxious high school or college students around so those of us who want to sit back, relax, and enjoy a game of baseball could do so...well, I can always leave it to high school seniors on "Senior Skip Day" (a.k.a. every day of their school year) to ruin my day.
We were put right next to a crowd of 15 (half of them drunk) high school students who were all Brewers fans. First off, one of them had a broom with them (since the Brewers were going to "sweep" the Cubs in the series, which they did) and was waving the damn thing everywhere, including in the faces of several Cubs fans. Secondly, they were all using foul language that even I was getting sick and tired of, which is saying alot. There were quite a few little kids at the game with their parents who had to sit around and listen to this. Thirdly, the vendors kept on letting them buy more alcohol, even after they were told that they're underage (it's Miller Stadium, I guess that makes sense). Finally, they kept on egging on the Cubs fans that were surrounding them, which included myself, my brother, my dad, a group of 8 late-20's strip-club bouncer types who were also drinking, several other Cubs fans across the aisle, and some older guys to their right; the thing is, they were completely surrounded by Cubs fans so if something were to happen, they were f***ed (just a note, even though it was at Milwaukee, there seemed to be just as many Cubs fans there as Brewers fans). Security approached these guys several times, and it seemed to have an effect for about 2 minutes after they left before it escalated again.
Well, it got to the point where they started throwing peanut shells at one of the drunk bouncer types down several rows, since I guess they didn't think that a big drunk guy who is getting sh*t thrown at him would retaliate, to which he finally got up and confronted them. One of the drunk high school girls gets in this guys' face...she slaps him in the face to which she is pushed down to the floor, which is when the scrawny 110 pound broom-holding knob decides to play hero and take on the guy who outweighs him by a good 90 pounds...he gets his ass kicked, big time. The big guy's fists were like a jackhammer to this kid's face, which was awesome. My brother, dad, and I are trying to break it up before it got way out of control, and since the high schoolers chose not to mess with us (we are fairly ominous looking the whole time, prepared like ornery jungle cats in case something retarded would happen). Even though the Cubs lost in a close game, I would have had a good time if it weren't for these punks. I found the beatings that the two received hilarious, and the next paragraph explains why.
I'm sick of most high school kids nowadays...they get away with damn near anything, their parents don't do a thing about their back-talk behavior, and we're not allowed to beat the crap out of them ourselves when they get out of line (legally, anyway). Especially when they get drunk; I have yet to meet a high school kid that can hold his/her liquor. I live in a city that was once OFFICIALLY declared "the most alcohol/consumtion per person in the US", and these pansies can't handle more than a couple of beers. Every time a high school kid gets drunk, it ruins everything. They either A) back talk, start fights or B) mope in the corner about how they were the only person in the world to ever go through a break-up in a two month relationship.
I say it's high time they legalize beatings of drunk high school kids, to the point that we can just look at them and make them squirm. They get away with anything, and people are too big of wuss' to stand up to them (except for me, of course). The guy who started pounding the crap out of the high school kids (in self defense in both instances, mind you) was arrested while the other high schoolers were kicked out at the fifth inning...long after they were warned four times but nothing was done until violence actually broke out. This guy gets arrested while these little punks get a slap on the wrist. Yeah, violence-solves-nothing-blah-blah but when the receiving end happens to people as deserving as drunk high school kids, it sure is rewarding to watch; more rewarding to participate.
