    I've been reading your posts for decades and I sincerely doubt that you would put your hands on this child. Stop talking trash. If this was your kid your opinion would be a 180.

    So the cops condoned grabbing a person by their neck and slamming them to the ground? Shocker.

    Both of these posts highlight that this guy had no business putting his hands on a kid or any other person. Immature, no martial arts training, got riled by a 12yo and decided to get physical.

    Walk away. It's easy.

    the guy was walking away…the little demon child kept following him pushing him and then eventually punching him

    then he got what was coming

    that was probably the 1st little bit of parenting that spawn of Chucky had received in YEARS

    After watching the whole video this kid needs some help, I chuckled after he was talking so much s*** and then started crying and acting like he was just beat up. In this case it was a shove from the adult and while I don't advocate touching children this could have been much worse and a shove to the ground wasn't over the top, the adult was about as patient as he could be, that kid needs his butt whipped by his parents.

    Man this one kid is making me question my stance on smacking children upside the head.

    No joke also. That is a demon child. Parents are like "just go out and play and don't come back home until 11pm" just to not hear and see this annoying ass shithead as much as possible. But parents are probably even more shitty people.

    I just watched the original video and skimmed through the remarks. Someone with a martial arts background should definitely walk away. Authorities tend to look at martial arts training with much more scrutiny and the legal risk of a trained martial getting into an altercation with someone is much greater than someone who isn't trained. In this situation if an adult martial artists were to use a technique on this child LE would rightfully look at it seriously. It would be the equivalent to someone untrained using a weapon the child.

    That said there are situations where you would need to act. This would be if the child kept on pursuing the person and attacking them, if the child was attacking other children and/or if the child was using a weapon. In that situation this is where a range of force is needed. I don't think shoving the child down onto the concrete is right solution but it is understandable someone without proper training would resort to that. In this case there are techniques that could either minimize contact with child and or restrain the child. Holding the child with something like a chicken wing or Nelson might be the way to go until the parents or authorities can be on scene.

    VERY IMPORTANT! EVERY PHYSICAL TECHNIQUE HAS RISK AND SHOULD NOT BE DONE UNLESS IT IS AN EXTREME SITUATION!

    I can fully get how frustrating such a situation is and it's really on the parents for not disciplining their child. There is too much legal and other risk though for an adult to be fighting a child. Unless there are no other options walking away is the best.

    It's weird because when I was this kid's age parents would just let kids go out and play unsupervised. The frequent critique we hear now is that too many parents are helicopter parents and don't let their kids out to just play and explore by themselves.

    I agree. By age 10, i was able to ride my bike around the neighborhood visit friends' houses, go to the neighborhood courts etc and come back like 7 hours later.

    I had a flip phone and was responsible enough to update my parents every couple of hours that I'm fine and will be back home in a couple of hours.

    To be fair I was raised in New Territory in Sugar Land. It's like the idilic safe neighborhood where parents aren't concerned their kids around riding around unsupervised around the neighborhood.

    That kid got what he deserved, seems his parents need some lessons in discipline.


    I worked with a gentleman once and we were visiting his sister and husband and they had a child running around doing this stuff. He asked them why they aren’t disciplining him, and they said they didn’t believe in spanking.

    After about an hour and being hit on the head and yelled at he grabbed their son, bent him over his knee and spanked him. The parents were aghast, but that child whenever he was around was completely respectful from that day on.

    I think you misunderstood what a Karen is. I need to speak with your manager.

    I like how there's one hero when the guy is halfway to the cockpit then the rest of the bros follow him.

    if she was the one who bought the bike and they were actually harassing her, then they were wrong
