I am being serious - do we know why the mom was hitting her kid? To dissuade him from rioting? Entirely possible. But does anyone know for sure?
Scenario 1: Mom: "I was mad at him because he called me the c-word, and told me to go home and make dinner!"
Scenario 2: Mom: "I decided to beat his ass when he told me he lost his iPhone 6S for the third time. I am not made of money."
Scenario 3: Mom: "i was mad at him because he was just videotaping me with his selfie-stick while I was duking it out with his girlfriend. Have y'all seen the video? It went viral, you know."
Seriously, are we just speculating on her motives or has she given interviews, etc.?
Viral video mom: 'I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray'
“He gave me eye contact, and at that point, you know, not even thinking about cameras or anything like that. ... That's my only son, and at the end of the day, I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray,” Graham says in a CBS video .
FFS she's a hero and the only actual PARENT I have seen dealing with these rioting animals. Hopefully her kid turns out all right. She seems like one of the few that give a craps about her kids.
Her son (looks 16ish) premeditated about a half dozen misdemeanors and felonies.
So yeah, she has failed as a parent. 35 seconds of being ticked off at your criminal son is just that...a brief blow up.
2 CJ degrees and my whole career in the field. Seen it a million times before. Don't have to be in the field to see this though. Watch an episode of COPS. You'll see a teen/early 20s punk in the back of a police car with a record that goes on for days. His mom will come out of the house berating him and whatnot.
She would be a hero if she had raised a kid who didn't riot.
This could have been achieved by not hitting her kid in the first place.
Chances are, she's been doing it for a while.
Yep.
Premeditated too. Look at the perp's outfit. Check that backup for contraband.
Mens rea and actus rea for the win...
