What spin? The kid hit the minister in the face. He knocked his glasses off on the second try. The minister lost his temper and kicked the kid.

The kid was 16. The one that broke my son's tooth was only 12.

If you can't see the kid was out of bounds, there's nothing more to say.

Pushed him over and kicked him in the testicles. The kid may have been out of bounds, but the minister's reaction seems unjustifiable. Not a sissy here; I just don't think getting hit in the face with a dodgeball justifies kicking the person in the balls, especially for someone who's 25.

Are you familiar with the game of dodge ball?

The purpose of the game is for the player with the ball to throw the ball at the other players, attempting to hit one. (The most common format is for two players to throw the ball into the crowd of other players, attacking from opposite sides).

The other players move around from side and DUCK and jump to try to avoid being hit by the thrown ball.

Two pointers for you

1) If you don't want to get hit, don't play that particular game.

2) If you don't want to get hit in the face, don't duck.

It sounds like you've already jumped on this liberal band wagon:
