Watching the video I feel embarrassed for the father who was just stunned by the situation and didn't react, and the grandmother who tried to spin the guy's non reaction as something positive.

You hear stories of war veterans who come home and have trouble adjusting because they are too ready to react to perceived threats. But more people are like this poor sap who is so far removed from his inner badass that he can't respond with force even when someone snatches his own kid away and beats him.

Taking the law in hand isn't the lesson people should be teaching others, especially when children are present. We need to be tolerant of others. Ask for an apology.
This is an issue that can be hugged out if not escalated.
I'll hug him as soon as I finish pulling his heart out through his ass. And I'll smile. Promise.

What is your point? Are you saying that spanking another person's child is acceptable?

When I was in a boutique, a woman came in with a three-year old who was whining loudly, annoying everyone else. Her mother tried to silence her, clearly embarrassed. I bent down, looked the little girl straight in the face, and said sternly, "Listen to your mother!" She was so shocked she shut up. Her mother whispered "I'm so sorry." The mother couldn't criticize me because I was telling her kid to listen to her. If I'd told the kid to shut up I'd have been out of line.

Direct quote, "That's how we deal with kids in Mexico".

Ask Rob Porter. He's had lots of practice.

Actually in this case, I'm loving it. I think most kids these days are spoiled brats who could use some discipline. The guy was wrong for putting his hands on someone else's child, but parents let their kids get away with way too much bad behavior.

Not wrong - criminal. That is called assault and battery of a minor.

Right on both. He also has been arrested 50 times in the past 10 years.
