If we just had "common sense baseball bat laws"...

A 16-year-old Florida boy is suspected of beating his friend to death with a baseball bat, authorities said, alleging that the teen was jealous of his friend's relationship with a girl.

Police say the suspect persuaded friend Giovanni Diaz, 15, to go into a wooded area Monday afternoon, where the teen "viciously beat and killed Giovanni with a baseball bat," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a news conference Monday. He hit Giovanni at least nine times, Judd added.

The suspect is home-schooled while Giovanni, an eighth-grader, attended a middle school, but both lived in the same community, Judd said.

The alleged victim "has absolutely no previous run-ins with the law," Judd said, but the suspect was charged two years ago with two counts of battery for allegedly battering two people, including Giovanni.

The suspect also was charged with domestic battery last year for allegedly battering his father, Judd said.

So, another one known as a violent person by law enforcement walking free.

No one needs a "high capacity" baseball ball bat capable of being swung 9 times.

I want to know if the bat was fully automatic or semi auto. did it have a folding stock, pistol grip and detachable magazine? and how many rounds did it hold? did he pass a bat background check and are we going to boycott baseball games and refuse to allow baseball teams in high schools?

I hear that the schools are planning a walk out tomorrow to promote the confiscation of all baseball bats.

The suspect is home schooled, we need to ban home schooling.

We need to ban something, ANYTHING, so the future tragedies can be avoided. If it only saves ONE life, it's worth doing. The time is NOW! Let's all WALK OUT tomorrow!

I wonder why the friend wasn't the least bit curious or wary as to why his friend had a baseball bat in the first place?

Why aren't the Libbies calling for that?



Blunt objects (bats) kill more people than all rifles, yet they want a ban on AR15s (which is a subset of all rifles).

Knives kill FIVE TIMES more people than rifles.

Anyone hear of school protests and walkouts to ban knives?
