  1. I would usually say you never know what happened we weren't there… maybe the coach was nasty towards the kid, maybe grabbed his arm, maybe embarrassed him.. that being said the coach seems like a super friendly nice human being, and that mugshot makes the attacker look like a psychopath that needs to stay behind bars.

  2. Malicious wounding ? Wtf! How about assault with a deadly weapon attempted murder. You think you can take someone out with a fkn yeti bottle? Homeboy needs to see the inside for a few years

  3. If this dad has not qualms about hitting an adult in public, can you imagine who he does behind closed doors to his kid? Aside of charging this POS, they need to get Child Services involved. Poor kid.

  4. That child's only hope might be that this coach presses charges against this out-of-control person/parent. If that violent man would do this to a stranger how does he behave towards someone in his family when he's angered? If a court were to order that he undergo counseling that would be a great thing or at least a step in a better direction for that child.

  5. It's happening in all aspects of life maybe it's because of COVID maybe it's in the water or maybe it's in the Air or social media but for sure something is happening with people judgement maybe it's the beginning of the end

  6. The 45-year-old suspect, Blerand Hoxha, was charged with malicious wounding.

    That parent just cost his kid soccer for the rest of the lifetime probably. Plus the parent would be scary out on the highway cuz he probably goes through road rage definitely everyday.

  7. He doesn’t know the father of the child on his team ? I think this guy did something with that man’s son and he found out about it. None of this makes sense

  8. Blerand Hoxha is the coward who suckered punched this coach. ICE should check his immigration status. Regardless he deserves more than a slap on the wrist

  9. What really happened to where a parent with no criminal history decided to beat the fuck out of that coach infront of off duty police offers, and in a completely public scenario? Terrible investigation Fox. Usually parents are mad about their kid not playing in the game; not for getting playing time. Make the story make sense. I'm don't care about violence in any setting as long as it's justified. That man was beaten viciously and the assailant, who's white and not black, only did a few days in county… Find out what that coach did.

  10. The suspect was charged years ago for shooting 2 ppl during a argument at gas station ⛽️ . He was sentenced to 10 yrs but only served 4. He needs to spend 20 years with no early release before he kills someone

  11. I quit coaching because of the dude who hit this coach. Parents want their children to be Pele. I set ground rules. I always told parents to not yell at any of the players on my team.

  12. This is the problem with youth sports. It was a silly scrimmage, it's okay Dad, let it go! If ya need to blow off some steam, I'll pay your $20 mat fee at your local jiu jitsu school and you can roll with me. Let the coaches,.coach and the refs referee.
