    Good life lesson. If my son at 11 years old was out of control and attacked a grown man then he would have deserved to get rocked.

    Hell I tried that with my dad at age 14 and I ended up face first on the hallway floor then ran for my life into the woods.

    I'm not going to judge anybody, but for me, and about me only and my own judgment, I'm not decking a child that I easily could've simply walked by or shoved aside. I've worked security at concerts and once had a lady dive on my back from the balcony rail and I didn't punch her lights out. Use as little force as possible to allow everyone to go home (or jail) and closing time.

    That said...those folks at the mall were animals. If anybody thinks differently than me and would've punched anyone who touched them, I get it, I totally understand it. Just wanted to say what I would try to do.

    Yeah don’t act a fool and expect nothing to come of it. You see it a lot with females closed fist punching dudes and expect nothing to happen. All because men should never hit a women. If they want equality and decided to fight like a dude then so be it. I will show some restraint but there comes a point where you will get a fist to the face right back.

    As YankeeMarshall would say:
    "I am a grown-ass man!"

    When I was 16 I referred to my mom as an effing B in front of my dad...then I balled up my fist at him.
    When I picked myself up from the floor and checked out the goose egg dad's wedding band left on my forehead; I knew not to do that ever again.

    THAT was a lesson.

    he tried that. Plan B.

    also, there is no way a kid would act that way towards a man if he had grown up with a man in the house. Just saying.

    Not sure if this video touching on it but originally they were harrassing a mother and her small children and this guy stepped in and they turned on him and his family. Like said i tend not to watch videos of what happened, especially after they make it to youtube, because it's rarely the whole picture. But read article earlier that stated the above from his defense lawyer. So sounds like plenty of chances were given before he just hauled off and punched her. Idk if i would have but who knows until you're in that situation. There's only so many things you can do before you either decide to end it or keep taking it. Looks like he got tired of taking it.


    Sad part about this whole thing is it likely will be turned into something way bigger than what it is because suprise surprise they're black and he's white. Now I'm not saying it happen or they acted this way because of skin color, just saying it will be turned into another BLM type movement. Punk ass kids are punk ass kids regarldess of color. And if parents don't start doin something you'll see more of it.

    Other than all that I agree with Oly, everyone cries about equality. Well she got some.

    first watched on the small screen- didn't realize it was a girl.
    Open hand (front or back) would've been more appropriate.

    Would that group have showed the same restraint? The girl got what she had coming don't want to get beat down do not act like a punk thug.

    Some POS hit my truck while it was parked at the airport, again. Same as before the airport police do not feel it was caught on camera.

    You last couple sentences..
    I watched a national geographic show many many years ago that was fascinating. They did a special on an African protected park. The researchers started noticing rhinos being killed, lots of them. But nothing was taken from them...no poaching. They brought in all kinds of animal specialists to review the situation. They couldn't figure it out and the killings continued.

    So as a last resort they brought in an anthropologist. After careful observation he saw something. He observed the lack of all the larger mature male elephants. The park people said they had transplanted them all to other parks. Researchers then started focusing on watching the juvenile elephants. To their shock, they observed packs of juvenile elephants killing rhinos for whatever reason. Wow. They started slowly bringing back the mature Male elephants into the park and order amongst the juveniles was restored. No more dead rhinos.

    I worked in a juvenile jail for many years. I studied the files of the 60 to 70 kids we had in the facility one day. 75% had no known father on file. And of the 8 girls we housed....not one had a dad at home.

    And they blame society for the issues, complete lack of accountability.

    I have a new line that I am very fond of, I have had the opportunity to use it a few times this week. I am sorry that you feel that I hurt your feelings.
