He drives around, all over the town...
I'll never understand how this kind of stupidity takes place. What the hell is wrong with some parents? Eh, the fact that it happened on Cincy's west side doesn't exactly surprise me...

<!--startindex-->COLERAIN TWP., Ohio -- One person was taken to the hospital after a brawl broke out during a youth baseball game at the Olympian Club in Colerain Twp. on Tuesday night.
Witnesses say it was the bottom of the fifth inning and tensions were already running high between the two teams, Thermal Solutions and North College Hill.
"The umpire was calling bad calls. The other side was talking. We were talking, and the umpire told us we couldn't talk anymore," said Pam Johnson, the parent of a North College Hill Player.
Police said when the trash talking continued, one of the parents stepped in. <TABLE class=storyAd cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=storyAdObj>

"One of the parents went down to resolve words between the boys," said Colerain Twp. Officer Angela Meyer. "A challenge was made and the dad went out on the field and with that a huge fight between the teams and parents."
Police said they did not know who threw the first punch, but witnesses said that parent ended up on the ground with kids from the North College Hill team attacking him.
"They had him on the ground, kicking him with metal spikes," said Lee Spears, a parent of a Thermal Solutions player.
“It was crazy. It was just a madhouse out there, it was crazy”, Johnson said.
Some North College Hill parents insist it all started with the parent who stepped in, saying he used a racial slur to the kids in the outfield.
Witnesses said when the umpire called the game, declaring Thermal Solutions the winner, kids from the North College Hill team turned on him and parents from the opposing teams turned on each other.
When it was over, police charged two teenagers and two adults with assault.
One parent was taken to the hospital. He was treated and released.
Police said it's possible other people could also be charged.<!--stopindex-->
