A high school football game in Ohio was cut short on Saturday after a player head-butted an official in the head before halftime, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Midway through the second quarter of Roger Bacon High School’s season-opener against Dayton Dunbar High, Roger Bacon was driving down the field when a penalty was called.

Suddenly, a Dunbar player could be seen on the game broadcast head-butting an official — sending him flying backward. Per the report, that player then had to be restrained from chasing another official as multiple other flags were thrown.

Roger Bacon had already grabbed a 23-8 lead at that time, and kicked off the game with an 86-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

“The penalty that made the kid mad was their 12th penalty already,” Roger Bacon coach Mike Blaut said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. “They were marking off the ball, half the distance to the goal line, and that's when he went right after the referee and head-butted him. He hit him on the right side of his head.”

The player, who was not named in the report, ripped off his helmet before hitting the official, Blaut said.

About the place where the NRA has meetings..What if????...

someone walked into that place, in the middle of a very important meeting, with a gun, and shot and killed a number of people...more than 5. and wounded a whole lot more. What then would be their take on guns for all?..
...In a similar manner, what if a meeting place in Washington, where a lot of important people meet, to make laws..had a similar experience described at the NRA meeting place? What then? Or...is it wrong to ask those kind of questions because they are...."out of bounds" of what should be asked. What then?
...You be the judge and jury on this. Thank you

Trump proves he is not paying attention to important events, CNN:

Trump doesn't think he's 'ever even heard of a Category 5' hurricane. Four such storms hit the US since he took office

Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump said Sunday that he's "not sure that (he's) ever even heard of a Category 5" hurricane, despite four such storms having threatened the US since he took office.

"We don't even know what's coming at us. All we know is it's possibly the biggest. I have -- I'm not sure that I've ever even heard of a Category 5. I knew it existed. And I've seen some Category 4's -- you don't even see them that much," Trump said at a briefing with officials at FEMA's headquarters in Washington, DC.

"But a Category 5 is something that -- I don't know that I've ever even heard the term other than I know it's there. That's the ultimate, and that's what we have unfortunately," he added, in reference to Hurricane Dorian.

The comments from the President came just before Dorian, a dangerous Category 5 storm, made landfall on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas. The storm is the most recent of four Category 5 hurricanes to hit parts of the US since Trump assumed the Oval Office.

In September 2017, nearly eight months into Trump's presidency, Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest Atlantic basin hurricane ever recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, affected at least nine US states. That same month, Hurricane Maria devastated the US territory of Puerto Rico, leaving behind an island that is still struggling to recover.

Last October, Hurricane Michael, which was originally designated as a Category 4, barreled into the Florida Panhandle as the third Category 5 hurricane to blast the US since Trump became president.
Not the first time Trump said he's never heard of a Category 5

Trump has previously indicated several other times that Category 5 hurricanes are unprecedented weather events that either he or others had never heard of or witnessed.

In the days between the landfalls of Hurricane Irma and Maria, he said he "never even knew" they existed and said days later that "people (in Puerto Rico) had never seen anything like" the storm.

In October 2017, Trump claimed "nobody has ever heard of a (Category) 5 hitting land," and earlier this year, he again said he had never heard of a hurricane of that intensity.

Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has asked for Poland's forgiveness 80 years after the start of World War II.

"I stand before you, those who have survived, before the descendants of the victims, the old and the young residents of Wielun, I am humbled and grateful," Steinmeier said during a ceremony in the Polish city of Wielun, the site of one of the first Nazi bombings in the country on September 1, 1939.

"I bow to the victims of the attack in Wielun, I pay tribute to the Polish victims of German tyranny and I ask for forgiveness," he said.

Nearly 6 million Poles died during World War II, which remains the bloodiest conflict in history

More than 50 million people were killed in the conflict overall, including some 6 million Jews, half of whom were Polish.

At a ceremony in Warsaw, Polish President Andrzej Duda spoke of the atrocious history suffered by Polish people during WWII and the "trauma" that they still carry today.
