Hindsight... I would have lured him off the concrete, swept the legt, and kept him down w a knee on the back until authorities arrived if he was damaging property.


Heat of the moment and not expecting it? Much worse.

If someone showed me that video, I would punch my son until he couldn't speak..then I would beat him until he couldn't pick up his head.

And when he woke up the next morning, I would beat him again until he begged me to go apologize to the guy and that woman..and he would cut their lawns the entire aummer.

Of course, I'm a father and in my children's lives daily and this would not go down.....but gdamn if it did, there would be no place to hide for my son




dad is that you?

That kid was 12 or 13 y/o. I'd get a nephew or close friends kid of 14 or 15 y/o and a little bigger to kick his arse in front of his friends. Although that man lasted longer than most, no way he would ever come out ahead in today's society. Sad but just the way it is.

If my father had caught me acting like that I probably wouldn't be here today.

I certainly would not have done what the adult did, but I don't blame him nor do I feel sorry for the kid.

I would have just removed myself from the situation entirely.


But that dude taught him a different lesson I have no issues with, I just would not have done it to avoid the backlash.

Yeah I can't imagine acting like that back in the day, that's damn near suicidal.

Another thing I'd add, while I certainly don't feel one bit sorry for that kid in the moment in that scenario, I'd guess there's a 99.99999999% chance this kid has been dealt a bad hand at home and doesn't have much of a shot to come out as a good person in life.

The adage is “ show me the boy at seven, and I will show you the man “. His character and temperament is formed. You can’t become like that unless you have been beaten and abused. Sadly the die is cast , the carrots are cooked . This is who he is. I’m sure if we check in on him in ten years there are victims ( including any girl he ever dates ) in his wake .

And as for the Gump, he handled that imperfectly but about as well as it can be done. The kid is essentially a rabid dog . If he won’t get off you, you have to push him away. I feel bad for the guy to be put in that position and have to take the BS that is sure to follow.

He got up from screeching like a banshee and was abusive to the lady. if she had slapped the taste out of his mouth he would have been on the ground crying again, but his first lesson would have been over.

She missed a tremendous educational opportunity.

Something like that.

See, that's wisdom and experience there. You calmly speak to distract the young punk from the fact that the left hand you calmly and gently put on his shoulder is not there to be calming, but rather is there to provide leverage if you decide to slap the soul out of him.

Call child services or the cops probably and let them handle it. Once the little shite starts putting his hands on you unfortunately there's not many good ways to handle it in today's world. If I didn't know the kid, or did and couldn't get a hold of his parents then I probably would have called the cops right after I caught him vandalizing cars, before it even got to that point.


This.

I’m glad the guy did what he did because the kid deserved it, but there’s no way I would put my hands on a kid that young. I would calmly call the cops.

This. Just catch one of those softballs and twist his arm behind his back and trip him down. Then he gets to eat grass with a knee in his back until the law comes.

Had the kid hit his head on the wall or the concrete, it may have ended badly for the man. He wasn't in danger and let his emotions get the best of him.

That kid should be euthanized for the betterment of society.

Culcha is just the black version of white trash, which is exactly what everyone has been calling this kid.

Why people don't call the cops sooner is beyond me. It should've never reached that point. Cops should've been called to the scene as soon as he was caught vandalizing vehicles.
