Good Lord, the kid almost got killed and all they are worried about is a damn tradition?

If that kind of problem happened to me or my family, Id move out of that town as soon as possible, and whats worse is the fact that they care about a tradition over a human life :grr:

That is sad...both what happend to the poor kid, and the response from the community...had that happend here, I probably would of flown on Pedro to a nearby hospital...the cool thing here though, is if something like that were to happen, they would land Pedro just outside our football field...Pedro, BTW, is a CH-46

That is way past sad!! As much as I love traditions, the response of that city(I won't call it a community because communities care about each other)SICKENS ME TO THE CORE!!!!

Wow. I cannot believe that. I really feel sorry for the kid, and I am sickened by the story. I am just speechless.

Karch, whose leg was nearly amputated and who faces more than a year of physical rehabilitation with an uncertain outcome, has been the target of physical threats because of fears his injury will jeopardize the community's tradition of firing the ceremonial cannon before each high school football game and after touchdowns.


WTF is wrong with these people? Threatening him because he got injured?
