Pot meet kettle.

You and others just buy full-fare into these grotesque threads where 2 individuals act like jerks, the media presents it as 2 races and then you guys come swarming in picking sides over politics.

Why is it I'm one of the few people posting that has been calling out the media for trying to profit off stories like this by making it racial?

We had about 4 "white woman does something bad to black person" threads just last month or so.....clicky clicky click bait but how did you respond to those threads?

Previously, we've had a bunch of "mexican does something bad to white person" and of course "black guy does something bad to whomever" from the same FOR PROFIT media trying to improve ratings, get clicks and make money.

Ugly divisive crap and while Trump is a d-bag...the media has been doing this for a LONG time and you guys are arguably worse than Trump on the topic.

P.S. Unless it's a serious hate crime the media has ZERO business reporting any altercations etc. between people by their race. WHO THE EFF DIDN'T LEARN THIS when years ago it was all "black crime, black crime, black crime"? It's freakin' racist but political pigs just can't help but roll in that mud.

It happens.
^^^I have to agree with you on this one. I can't tell you how many school principals, architects, engineers, teachers, lawyers, etc. I know that got into some minor stuff in their youth.

I bet you those thugs don't steal from that salon again.

FYI....I've already had success as a business owner.

Those thugs won't steal? The *thug* was FIVE YEARS OLD. And according to the article the mother knew nothing about what he had done.

the attack occurred early Sunday evening when a small child, unbeknownst to his or her mother, took an item from the store without paying.
Based on your reaction to this, I guess you'd consider a snowball fight an assault worthy of retribution.

She waved her arm and contacted him first, screw her. She's lucky he didn't give her a proper tune up.

Then you can thank your lucky stars that no client wanted to steal from you, unlike the folks in the OP.

And yet for some strange reason the mother nor the child will ever do it again.

That's what we call, problem solved. So no, the thugs won't steal from that salon again.

Great point. He's likely to lose customers over this. It was a really stupid move on his part.

yes

Although I think The incident has been blown up out of proportion, as a business owner, he could have handled the situation a lot better.

What other people do will never lead me to breaking my moral code or the law, so it wouldn't have mattered if someone stole from me.

The child was being a child and the response to the mother's little hit was over the top. And again, you're not talking about self-defense here, but anger and getting back.

Aren't you in the air force? I would have thought they would have done a better job with a guy like you.
Some of you posters are really wound tight.
