Pregnant Woman Killed With Bat in Houston Fight
HOUSTON (AP) ¯

A woman who was almost three months pregnant has died after someone cracked her skull with a baseball bat during a fight in a park over a minor vehicle accident, police say.

Police say that Melissa Spriggs, 27, was hit with the baseball bat as she tried to usher her family to safety. She died Tuesday at Ben Taub General Hospital from the injuries she suffered at the south Houston park on Sunday.

Police are trying to find the person who hit her with the bat.
Spriggs and other family members arrived at the park after her 18-year-old cousin called, saying he'd been in a car accident and feared the other driver was going to beat him up.

"She came out there basically as a peacemaker to tell everybody let's just get your information and get out of here," said Sgt. M. Dillingham of the homicide division. "She was saying, 'Get in the car; let's go. This ain't worth it."'

Dillingham said the fracas began when a white Buick with flashy rims hit a silver Nissan Altima belonging to Spriggs' cousin in the park's parking lot on Sunday afternoon.

"The driver of the Buick was ... trying to show off the rims on his car," he said.

"Both drivers got out to inspect the damage. They blamed each other (and) nobody wanted to exchange information," Dillingham said. He said that the accident caused only slight damage.

But tempers escalated and about 30 people gathering at the park supported one side or the other. The driver of the Buick had been there for a family picnic, Dillingham said.

Police were called and an accident report was taken, but the dispute continued between the two sides after officers left, he said.
"It was like a small riot almost," Dillingham said.

As the fight raged, one of Spriggs' relatives fired into the air and possibly into the crowd. Witnesses saw a young man sneak behind Spriggs with a bat.

"She came out there and was trying to get everybody on her side of the family into the cars when the guy hit her in the head," Dillingham said. "He reared back and took a full swing. There's no question he was aiming for her head."

The unidentified man escaped with others in the Buick. Spriggs' relative was arrested at the park and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and deadly conduct.

The blow from the bat fractured Spriggs' skull, causing her to suffer a subdural hematoma, or bleeding on the brain.

I for one am sick of all the violence in our society and feel that for the safety of the American People it is now time We make it illegal to kill a person with a bat. From this time forward all bats must have serial numbers on the handle and serial numbers on the striking areas so the imprint will show on any victim of a bat attack. Starting today all bats will be registered and a license must be obtained and a class on proper bat handling must be taken by a state trained teacher .

Only professional athletes need to have bats. Anyone else who wants to exercise their constitutional right to bear bats is a violent, bat-totin wackjob.

All toy baseball bats should be made out of plastic, and so made as to where it cannot be altered and/or manipulated to work like a real bat. They should also all be painted bright orange, so everyone will know that it is not a real baseball bat. Really, Cricket bats should be banned as well. Well, they can be obtained, but the people will have to pay a substantial fee, and give up their right to refuse a seach of their home.

I also want to get rid of Pillows... too many senseless smothering deaths. All pillows will now have to contain serial numbers. Also any location 2 feet or higher than the surrunding land (bunk-beds, porches, stairs, lifted trucks, having your kids on your shoulders, etc...). We need to protect people from falling. Since Americans are not intelligent enough to handle elevation on their own, school aged kids will have to complete H.A.R.E, or Height Abuse Resistance Education. Remember, if some sketchy man on the corner of an alley tries to sell you a Pogo stick, run and tell an adult.

Likewise, only professional chefs should be allowed to possess a fixed-blade knife more than 4 inches long. What possible use could the average person have for such a dangerous implement? Certainly these knife-nuts must be held in check before even more fingertips are lost. Oh, just because it's old you think it's a collector's item? Well, I'm sorry, but that hand-forged katana will have to be melted down into a statue in memorial of all those who have lost their lives to edged weapons.
In Fact, we need to pass a law making it so all food items are sold pre-cut. This means no whole veggies or fruits. Meat will be pre-cut into bite size pieces so you don't need a knife at the table. Cooking is now illegal since it gives criminals too many opprtunities to use assault knives (an assault knife is one that has the exact same function as a regular knife, but is so big that it is impossible to conceal, making it more dangerous. Yes, it is in "reality" less dangerous because everyone can see you coming down the street with it, but rest assured we are working very hard to find a reason to still ban it). groceries are only available with a permit after taking the appropriate training class. All other substenance will only be bought at state approved fast food restaurants. Posession of a porterhouse steak is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Let's take back America from these knife-wielding maniacs!!
