While they certainly deserve prison, this is just what I personally think. I suspect this will happen again. This violence is a symptom of much deeper problems.
No it's not. It's one problem. Not being raised properly, which is much more likely to happen to children raised in a single parent environment. Not that you care about the truth.
Are there other incidents of kids brawling on an official in a gang-style beating and putting that official in the hospital?
I can't think of any.
Could be wrong.
Does this count? It happened in February.

Disturbing video from a Texas high school shows the moment a teacher was allegedly chased down and beaten by a group of middle school students. Michael Shott, an assistant baseball coach and physics teacher at Langham Creek High, was left with a broken arm.
It's a growing problem with little respect for elders or authority. Or accepting an undesirable or expected outcome. Deal with it like an adult and not a gangster.
There has been an ongoing degradation of societal norms over the last few decades. This is what you get when you put up with bad behavior and don't have standards of conduct and rules instilled into young people.
If I would have participated in beating down that ref when I was a teenager I'd still probably be grounded and stuck in my room.
That would not happen in my area. Granted I have heard enough un Christian like things shouted at refs by parents and relatives of the players but nothing physical. An under the breath mean word from a player to a ref gets the team a technical. Audience mouths off too much and the cops escort you out. If anyone were to attack another person, especially a ref, the coaches, other refs, people from the stands and cops would be on it.
I feel the need to just call you out on that. I don't know what town or city you live in but I have a friend who lives in the county you have listed in your location. Population where he is, around 12,000. His city has one of the highest crime rates in the US, per capita, for a small town or a large city. So yes, it could happen in your county. Lets be honest, it could and does happen in all kinds of areas.

This is something that Denzel Washington brings up that the Main Stream Media like to side step. He's just an actor but what he says carries weight and is true.
"If the father is not in the home the boy will find a father in the streets. I saw it in my generation and every generation before me, and every one since.”
