I think we should ban all baseball bats to prevent future incidents like this.
Are you serious? Banning baseball bats because of isolated incidents is extreme. Should we ban cars because of accidents too? Lets focus on addressing the root causes of violence instead of targeting inanimate objects.
I think we should ban baseball bats altogether to prevent further incidents like this.
I dont buy it, maybe the baseball bat was just for a friendly game?
Friendly game? Seriously? Who plays baseball with a bat covered in blood and hair? Lets use some common sense here. The evidence clearly points to foul play. Dont be naive.
I think we should give him a chance to explain his side.
I bet the baseball bat was just for self-defense! Innocent until proven guilty, right?
I think the real issue here is the scarcity of purple unicorns in Guelph.
I wonder if the baseball bat was signed by a famous player… 🤔
Shouldnt we also be talking about the importance of teaching self-defense techniques?
Why do people resort to violence when conflicts arise? Its just sad.
Sometimes, its easier to throw a punch than to find common ground. Conflict resolution takes effort and maturity. Violence is a quick fix for those lacking empathy and communication skills. Its a sad reflection of our societys shortcomings.
Why resort to violence when there are other ways to resolve conflicts?
Can we talk about mental health support for perpetrators too?
Absolutely not. Perpetrators of harm should be held accountable for their actions, not coddled with mental health support. Victims deserve our focus and resources, not those who have caused harm. Lets prioritize the well-being of those who have suffered, not those who have inflicted pain.
Was it self-defense or excessive force? 🤔 #DiscussingJustice
Why would anyone resort to violence with a baseball bat? Unbelievable!
Shouldnt we focus on mental health support rather than just punishment here?
