There is no way that was a reaction to something said right before the handshake. There isn't time enough to react especially when you consider when the punch actually started. If he had those types of super human reflexes - he would have won. Something could have been said or done during the match, but that is just speculation. There is simply no excuse for that sucker punch.

Kids do stupid things. Studies have shown their brains really don't process the ramifications for their actions. That said, such stupid actions still need to have severe consequences.

- Coops mom is video taping
- coops mom sees him get “sucker punched”
- coop neglects to tell coops mom that he said “nice match terrorist” or some shit
- coops mom puts a video on the internet saying that her angel baby got sucker punched, we all believe it

Or he really did get sucked punched. I don’t know. I just think it’s viable that there’s more to that story than that.

Most likely, there is always more than just meets the guy in these type of things. I’m sure we will find out more.

Then we will have to reevaluate if throwing a sucker Punch fits the crime. For many of us, I’m thinking we would not cross that line no matter what somebody was calling or saying to us. But we haven’t walked in that kids shoes. Like I say, I’m sure will hear a lot more about this. It only happened on April 8.
