Kansas City Star article details a fight that broke out in the Royals' stadium kid section over the weekend; the fight's described as a bloody brawl which came about after a woman walked in front of another woman trying to take a picture of her child. Men and women got involved, fist flying, someone spitting in someone's face, a woman kicking another woman who'd fallen or been knocked to the ground...
The incident left the children’s playground area dotted with blood and two persons facing charges.
The article goes on to say some witnesses complained about the lack of security:
In the aftermath, witnesses complained that security officers were slow in responding and in controlling the situation.
Royals officials confirm that four minutes passed between receiving a report of a disturbance in the new outfield experience, and when the first police officer arrived. Two minutes after the first call, apparently the call was updated to a fight in progress. Officials also say there were 250 security personnel on staff Sunday, which they thought was enough.
Some might say:
Four minutes? Really?!?! Seems like a long time for someone to respond to a problem in the kids area.
Others might say:
Who would have thought you'd need security in the kids section?
