I don't know about you guys, but I worry about my wife getting hurt while at the store. What if she is holding my two-year old? A woman around here was knocked out by some teenager. He hit her in the back of the head with a 10-pound weight. It makes me really nervous.

Of course I'm concerned about any act of violence involving my family members....but isn't the "knockout game" pretty much a sucker punch from behind? There's not much you can do about something like that other than be aware of your surroundings.

They don't seem to know who did this. I'm curious where the supervision was at this transfer station.
