Travis has been a little sh*t his whole life so this is no big surprise. My wife went to high school with these giabronis and hearing their names was no surprise whatsoever.
Unfortunately, there’s a Travis, Ian, and Jeremy along with a couple friends each in every crowd in the Morrisburg area. It’s nearly impossible to have a drink anywhere without running into at least one of them trying to cause trouble. Then, go to a major event where the whole town comes out and it’s a guarantee that there’s going to be a fight.
But, one has to be careful in a small town because everyone knows everyone. It was likely pretty easy to find out who it was. I’ll be surprised if there isn’t another name or two that get thrown into this.
Travis is the victim? How about that kid that he chased into a house and beat the crap out of last year? Never heard how that ended but I guess he was the victim there too.
The latest thing I heard was Mrs. Baldwin (Travis’ mom) was telling anyone who will listen that it’s not Travis’ fault because he’s never been the same since the big divorce.
Give me a break. This little punk has been sheltered his whole life. It’s about time he accepted some responsibility for his actions.

Thanks Bert for posting. By the sounds of things, the town has previously been terrorized by these guys. (and with possible intent of continuation- per one of the deleted linked notes) Thank you for assisting us in viewing from the perspective of the people in Morrisburg.
