Fight Fanatic- Just wanted to give you my opinion on Shovel girl since you asked. I can almost guarantee that the charges will not be dropped or either of them. They will more than likely both get some probation with the girl who dropped out being made to go back to school as a part of it. The funny thing is if their friends didn't post the video online they wouldn't be in the serious trouble they are both in. I will try to keep you posted if I hear anything else.
On a more positive note I wanted to update everyone on the fight this Saturday night. I had lunch with Dawn today and she is very ready for Saturday night. As Steve has already said this is over an issues with their kids and the soccer team in general. Apparently they started arguing over it during the game when the husbands stood between them. Missy went to the bathroom and Dawn followed shortly after (knowing Dawn she wanted to finish the argument). The bathrooms are behind the bleachers against the school itself so thankfully they were nowhere near the kids. Well I guess the argument started in the bathroom again, and when they stepped outside the fists started flying. Both women are hot heads obviously so this does not surprise me at all. Well thankfully there were a couple of coaches and referees for the next game back there to separate the women. Dawn had a busted lip and Missy had some hair pulled out but nothing too serious thank goodness. The next fight was in the parking lot of our local grocery store. Dawn said they ran into each other while she was putting her groceries in the car when Missy walked up and slapped her. They grabbed each other but thankfully once again people around them got involved to prevent a full blown fight. I say thankfully because fighting in a parking lot is extremely dangerous with the cars driving around not to mention fighting on concrete in general is very dangerous for obvious reasons. Finally the last time they got into it was at Steve's party. Dawn said that Missy was once again being bitchy towards her, and this time she owed her so Dawn took the lead and slapped Missy. They got going for a bit but Steve and Dawn's husband broke it up after a minute or so. Like I said in another post Dawn's husband flipped out pretty badly screaming at her in front of everyone. He told her not to come home that night, and took the car and headed home. Two weeks later I guess they were talking on the phone about their issues. They both agreed that it wasn't healthy to be at each others throats every time they see each other, and that it was not a healthy environment for their children who have to play together on the team for at least another month. So they called Steve about having him arrange a way for them to safely get their aggressions out. Dawn has been in a few rules catfights, one against me *smiles*, and had talked Missy into agreeing to one to hopefully settle things. They called Steve up to arrange to use his basement room since it is a very safe area with mats and a lot of padding. Steve agreed only if I would be there to help out if things got out of hand. From there we all met for drinks at a local bar. He made them shake hands on the rules that they both agreed to, and now here we are. I am personally hoping this will end it because I like hanging out with both women, and I am hopefully optimistic that they will once again become friends after this is worked out.
