A male teen has his leg shattered by an exploding cannon at a football game, and the townsfolk are threatening him and his family. The town may have to stop shooting a cannon to start football games and because the teen was mangled the townsfolk are threatening him. The aditude of these people is abhorant and shameful. I hope they end up humiliated by the press in front of the whole country in the end.

I se why I haven’t seen the thread, it’s in the Pit where I stay out of if I can. I guess I’ll go to hell now.
