PHILADELPHIA — On a warm evening, Devon Goree settled into his portable chair to watch his son, Drew, 9, play second base in a Deptford Little League game. Parents yelled out encouragement. No one jeered the umpire — a refreshing change, said Goree, 41, a corrections officer: "It's quiet tonight. But we had some rowdy parents not long ago." Things are different now. Fed up with parents cursing umpires, two of whom quit in April, Deptford Little League president Don Bozzuffi made international news last month by instituting a novel punishment: Unruly parents will be banned from attending games unless they umpire three contests themselves. "I tried to think about the one thing in the world parents wouldn't want to do," Bozzuffi said. "This was it."

Wade , and some predict things will only get worse. On Aug. 15, Melissa Strelec drove her car up to the entrance of Northeast Ohio Women’s Center in Cuyahoga Falls and began throwing eggs out of the window at the clinic’s volunteer escorts. She then maneuvered her car erratically around the parking lot, almost hitting an escort, before driving away. The encounter was caught on the clinic’s security cameras. An hour later, Strelec returned on foot, brandishing a black bag. Escorts, trained to be aware of serious threats, ran into the building. “We honestly didn’t know if it was an explosive or what it was,” one volunteer told the Akron Beacon Journal , “We were panicked.” Strelec threw the bag against the door of the clinic and left. When clinic staff looked outside they saw the bag’s macabre contents—a dead … [Read more...] about Abortion Clinic Escorts Say Work Is Becoming a ‘War Zone’
