Totally agree. I'm not sure how the Harris County District Attorney would view my response, but if a man who posed a credible threat said something like that to me or to my wife within my audible range I would not feel very compelled to enter into the formality of dialogue. He would probably get a warning, but the warning would be something like a firm grip on the trachea. He can retreat from that or we will descend into primal combat.
Color me reactionary, but I don't give sh*t how obnoxious the child was being or how inconsiderate the mother may have been. There is no way to defend that man's actions and I'm surprised that someone with that little self-restraint and a personality so acetic to enable that attitude has managed to live 50+ years without getting bumped off.
Perfectly said!!!!
Honestly, if you want to threaten my child and try and follow through with it, you better prey you are a badder mo'fo than I am, cause I will make sure it takes more than 3 or 4 people to get me off you.
Unless you are given explicit permission to touch my child, you will have me on you like a spider monkey, lol.
According to Hillary Clinton, "it takes a village to raise a child" which implies that anyone has a right to parent children that are not theirs.
Like some of us give a crap what "ol punkin legs" thinks about us. She can't even take care of her own problems, much less has any right butting into ours.

I suspect that she didn't do anything because she is a generally ineffective human. There don't seem to be many winners in this case.
While I was working at Whole Foods market, a man picked up one of those plastic dividers (you put them on the conveyor belt between orders) and hit me on my butt with it. I was pregnant at the time, and I almost totally lost it. The guy was escorted from the store and banned from the store. I just couldn't believe someone would do that. You might expect something like that at walmart - but whole foods?
Pregnancy notwithstanding...maybe that was his idea of flirting?
First of all you don't smack toddlers to get them to stop crying. And you sure as heck don't hit someone elses kids..
I agree. I have never understood why some parents smack their kids to get them to quit crying. Wouldn't hitting them logically make them cry more? And louder?
