When I was in school 20 plus years ago kids didn't punch teachers, curse at them, disrespect authority, get shot by cops, commit suicide over bullying, want testing bars lowered, want racial segregation, cry about silly appropriation, think they were the opposite sex on a whim nor did they cry and whine over everything they thought was some sort of social injustice. So yeah, they are way different and it's the way they have been raised and taught.

Dude had to be drunk. The article didn't mention what the father did. If it was me, I would have knocked the crap out of this dude for laying a hand on my child.

Same way when I went to school in the 50s and 60s.

There is a HUGE difference between a spanking and a beating.

It's tempting to say I would have killed him for touching my kid but, then I wouldn't see my son for about 30 years if ever... but, I would break the dudes hands and gouge out his eyes...

Yes, he was very drunk. If you look at his pictures he even has glassy eyes. He has dozens of prior arrests, mainly for drunkenness.

If this story is completely true, the stranger should have been arrested. That’s assault.

Reading a short article is too much work.
