You can physically intervene to stop something that is happening in your presence, but you can't do what this guy did.

Also, don't any of you internet tough guys understand that the kid that was slapped also has family that will be looking to F up the slapper? The safest place for that dad right now may be in a segregated jail cell. If he is smart, he will be looking over his shoulder for a few years.


I assume these people live in an affluent neighborhood. If you pull this crap in the hood or a working class area, you will be getting a beatdown at some point. An adult slapping a child is not something that people are just going to ignore.

I agree on teh bold, which is why I'd get a kid to do it lol.


And FWIW I did grow up in a working class, ghetto environment. No one ever messed with me or my family because I have a wing of the family that is gang related (literally a street gang). They will F up anyone I ask them to "get" to this day. One of my cousins offered to go bust out windows of a lawyer for me after I was distraught about something that occurred at one of my jobs a few years ago lol (I didn't tell him what the lawyers name was because he would've googled them and found their address and did what he said he was going to do!). They are also pretty professional at kicking a$$ and their kids like to fight and have offered to beat up anyone that messes with my own kids. My family has always stuck together like this. If one of us gets beaten up we'd all have hell to pay later on and so we have a mentality that if one of us is messed with, you mess with the whole family.



I've lived in affluent neighborhoods as I am well educated and well paid and have lived in various places around the country. But the mindset I grew up with will not let me allow anyone to hit my kid or bully my kid. I also encourage my kids to beat the s**t out of anyone who dares to bully them. And if they are thrown out of school, I'll pay to send them to private school or home school them. You don't let people bother you in this way IMO and I know my view is VERY different from the mainstream suburbanite in particular, but that is probably why my kids have never been bothered.



My son has had some teenage girls try to boss him around via social media/texting, that is probably the closest its come to for us. I reviewed his phone back then regularly and saw the messages and I took her number, screen shot conversations and I made sure to let her and her mother know that my son is not the one to try to boss around and try to control and threaten the way she was doing and she'd better either stop talking to him completely or change her style of communication or she was going to have problems and not to let me show her what those problems are. I was and am very serious about my kids. I'm also not a "tough guy" I consider myself a Mama-Bear who doesn't take any sh** because I'm from the sort of background you mention that will beat you down.

There is nothing wrong with family sticking together and having each others backs, but what you keep writing out is not as impressive as you think it is.

Sounds like ghetto behavior to me. If I was your son I would run, not walk, away as soon as I could. Nothing worse than a mamma's boy.

Threatening to harm other people because of the bully is civilized? I think we have different definitions of the word...

He shouldn't have hit the boy but I can understand his anger too many people aren't teaching their kids to respect others.

Society just can't have people dishing out their own justice on others, that leads to anarchy.

That being said, for something like this, prison seems harsh to me. Fine him some sum of money and give it to his victim. Have him issue a apology in person.
