Sorry but was that Obama I heard downplaying the riots in Baltimore? Something about the video of "the same burning building" being repeatedly looped? I believe 15 buildings, some large ones, have been burned (it's called arson, Mr. President, which is a crime) and 150 cars. On top of that widespread looting. So don't blame the media for focusing on that, Obama.
Uhh, what does that have to do with this mother disciplining her son?
I think I actually remember that one (Donald Duck was one of my favorites). Problem is, a lot of the posters here probably aren't familiar with it, being before their time. Plus those old cartoons aren't considered PC.... being so violent and all. Makes me wonder how I grew up being a normal, every day guy after watching all those horribly violent cartoons for so many years.
I firmly believe the internet and PC are destroying the country......
She went to get her kid because she didn't want him to be imprisoned or injured or killed. This doesn't mean that in "principle" she doesn't agree with the rioting...

An angry mother is being applauded after she was caught on camera slapping
her son and ripping him out of Baltimore riots on Monday.
WMAR-TV captured footage of the woman screaming at the young man dressed from head
to toe in black, to "take the mask off" and telling him to "get over here" as
she slaps him.
By late Monday night, the video had become so popular that Baltimore
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts referenced the incident during a press
conference, CBS Baltimore reported. He said that many of the rioters were young people from nearby
high schools and he encouraged parents to tell their children to go home.
"And if you saw in one scene, you had one a mother who grabbed
their child who had a hood on his head and she started smacking him on the head
because she was so embarrassed. I wish I had more parents who took charge of
their kids tonight," Batts told reporters. "I think these were youth coming out
of the high school and they thought it was cute to throw cinder blocks at the
police department, and address it that way."
If she was such a great Mom the kid would not be participating in the riot in the first place. Family Services is looking for her and will arrest her for assault.
Because good parents don't have kids who try to go off the rails. Underage drinking and parties, illegal drug use. Nope, good parents have never faced any of these issues.
no, sorry to disappoint but it is no way 'leftist ideology'. You are free to call me a leftist if you want, but if you read my earlier post you will see how I dealt with my own son when he decided smoking in a bowling alley was a better idea than going to school

that profoundly stupid comment should make you think twice before you use a screen name like "great discussion" because that was not one.
