You know, I just don't understand how when people mention the PVvSU band thing, people talk as if PV's band was full of females.
Now let's be real here, have you gone to a place crowded with folks, and a group fight breaks out? Who gets hit? People closest to the nucleus of everything...meaning men, women, and children alike. So, if you're a female (or male for that matter), knowing the consequences of something like that, you should make a b-line to a safe haven.
The girl who got bashed with a trumpet was in no way trying to remove herself completely from the problem (PV side was on the other side of the stadium...she should have been there). In fact, cameras have her throwing a metal object 5 seconds before she got hit. Plus, she was still wearing her hat, which made her look like everyone else (and when you're in a fight, no one stops you and checks I.D.). In no way am I giving it my seal of approvel, but that is what happened, and both sides are in the wrong. Meaning, she was as wrong to be in that position, as the person who hit her.
