Plattsmouth man fights for life after teens attack him with baseball bats

After reading this article about the Plattsmouth man I couldn’t believe how such a terrible thing could happen in a small town like Plattsmouth. Coming from a small town myself I find it hard to believe that teenagers would act like this toward others. I had spent my entire life up till now in a small town and I thought that it was an awesome advantage. To me it was great being able to be outside wherever in town after dark, out with friends at such a young age. However in the city the kids are so much more limited. But after reading this article I realized that not even small towns are safe from serious danger.
I am shocked that two groups of teenagers acted in such a manner as they did in this article. There were two groups of teens from neighboring towns who were engaged in a fight, which ended in a horrible fashion. Two teen boys waited outside of a home for another teen to come out. However, the father came out the door the two teens beat him with baseball bats leaving him in critical condition. I don’t think this is a common occurrence in bigger cities but to happen in a smaller town is really shocking. This article was a real eye opener for me. Even though you may be raised in a small town, bad judgments are still made and poor decisions will occur. It’s sad to see that young men will act this way and do such brutal things to one another. As much as I and some others want to believe small towns are not free from danger. There should be serious consequences for the teens involved in this unfortunate situation. I believe that this will affect both towns involved and hopefully raise the awareness of what is happening around their communities.
