from Kim Ron's wife via facebook:
"Ugh. What sort of a****** thinks its okay to slam your fist on top of the "helmet" of a costumed volunteer raising money for a charity?? And of all the people in the lineup, he picks the ONE person that has a history of concussions just because he's the shortest storm trooper in the line. Poor Ron has a minor concussion now!
It was before the game while we were lining everyone up in the tunnel to go out onto the field to receive the check for Children's Miracle Network. Myself and the other spotters weren't watching because we were crowded around trying to get the instructions on what everyone was supposed to do. One of the players on the home team came up from behind Ron and did it, so he had ZERO warning... Apparently the same guy was messing with Chewy's face earlier too. Didn't get the player number, but the public safety and stadium staff were pretty sure they knew who did it. They recorded it as an injury on the public record caused by a player to a staff, and they will be disciplining the player. We didn't want to cause a scene, so we didn't call the cops to arrest him or anything since it looked like he thought it was just a joke and wasn't being malicious, but if there's ANY medical bills involved or if it endangers his new job we WILL call the public safety guy back and revisit the idea if the idiot won't compensate us..."
this is assault, whether the guy thought it was funny or not, it resulted in a fairly serious injury.
