A 29-year-old father dies after being assaulted with a baseball bat following a fight at a softball game over the weekend.
This is a very sad story, but let’s look at the tool used in this murder. A baseball bat! Now I was a geeky kid, and I didn’t much care for much for baseball, but I had a few bats in my garage. I’d say that’s true for everybody. I don’t have one now, but that’ll probably change with little LaWeer’da.
Still the ball bat is a ubiquitous item, and generally is considered a kid’s toy. Yet this toy was a murder weapon. Was this a semi-pro assault bat? Probably not, it was probably quite similar to the bat we all had or have. But we don’t go out murdering people.
Why? Because it’s the person, not the tool!
