  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

3 men arrested, facing felony charge, authorities say

A Texas youth baseball coach is expected to recover after he was wounded by a stray bullet while leading a pregame prayer.

The incident happened Sept. 21 at The RAC youth baseball field in Katy, located about 15 miles west of Houston, where deputies responded to reports of gunfire just before 10 a.m., according to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s investigators determined shots were fired from a nearby pasture in the direction of the field just before a youth baseball game was set to begin.

One bullet struck a coach for the Houston Warriors in the upper arm. The victim, who was not identified, was treated at a hospital and later released to recover at home, authorities said.

On Wednesday, sheriff’s officials announced the arrest of three suspects in the shooting: Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23; Ahmad Mawed, 21; and 27-year-old Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah.

Each suspect was charged with deadly conduct, discharge of a firearm, a felony offense, and is being held on $100,000 bond, officials said.
