Let's Watch the Miles Flying By

Apparently some East Texans are doing their best to make sure that hooliganism is not restricted to sporting events in Europe and South America.

Candido Garcia, 22,could face up to 20 years in prison for the incident involving two soccer teams if convicted, police said. Garcia, a fan of the team Deportivo Leon, apparently became angry after watching as a referee ruled in favor of the opposing team, Deportivo Higo, according to Lt. J.G. Smith of the Lufkin Police Department.

After an exchange of words, Garcia allegedly went after the Deportivo Higo team, stabbing coach Rogelio Juarez Castillo, 38, in the back with a knife, Smith said. Team members and fans of Deportivo Higo defended themselves against Garcia with sticks as he threatened them with the knife, Smith said.

A knife and stick showdown?

I would ask if firearms have been introduced to Lufkin, but this guy can certainly confirm that they have been.
