Vinsanity is being sort of asinine but I get his point. I mean everyone seems to be jumping over themselves to assert how they would F- Up the mofo who slaps his kids, heck a few posters sound like they would like somebody to slap their kids just so they could prove how tough they are. I have no doubt people love their kids and will protect their kids and while I don't have kids if someone where to slap my two young cousins yes I would react rather forcefully towards whoever did it but this does sound like a lot of chest thumping over who can beat the crap out of someone messing with their kids. And FYI as my moniker implies I can F- UP any MOFO that messes with my kids ten ways to Sunday in under 5 seconds using techniques of the ancient Orient that would make the threats you guys spew sound as deadly as having too much prune juice to that old guy. So there!
This is what I was thinking. I'm not a violent person and I doubt that I would attack the old man. I would be more likely to attack a younger man. But if anyone said that they would shut my kid up if I didn't I would boil up in less than two seconds and they would see in my eyes that if they touch my child I might go crazy on them whether or not they are bigger than me.
Tomorrow. 6 o'clock. Downtown St. Paul Target. Be there. You lay a hand on my (admittedly wailing, obnoxious) nephew, and then we'll see who's the bigger internet tough guy. (Bring your little cousin, if you like: I'll slap him around for warm-up/good measure.) Clean-up on aisle 13 of that prune juice, mister, 'cause it's gonna be spilling all over the place. I'm gonna knock you into the Welch's display. The H is O. It is on.
lmfao. the hypocrisy of making yourself feel good about an act of violence by promoting another act of violence. golf clap for all the internet tough guys who would go medieval on some old ass 60 year old. good on you? contrary to this and other posts stating it a "justafiable" act, beating an old fart at walmart is the definition of a legally unjustifiable act. that's assault. the fact that the old dude is crazy and slapped around your kid doesn't mitigate **** when they come arrest your ass for fighting at Walmart lol. most people dont have the balls to do that ****. guys dont even kill/beat guys who rape their daughters they just give them the evil eye at the courtroom behind a wall of deputies. what you would have done, and what you should have done is what the bystander did. take the old geezer down and hold him until the cops arrive. hitting a kid not once but 4-5 times like that and threatening a mother... either he's mentally unstable or he was high/drunk. and LOL at the parents who shift off the blame like "two year olds cry" shrug tantrums at walmart are an ACT OF GOD!!! kids cry and you're tired but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to discipline/quiet your kids or be embarrassed at the scene you're both causing. and before you go "you dont have kids" on me... let's be real, even as a "good parent" you will TRY and you will FAIL to explain to your child to stop crying and to be polite in public if he's tired, cranky, or needs attention you cant give atm, but dont be a douche and pass it off like your kid wailing is someone else's problem or an act of God
This is completely idiotic...are people really arguing whether or not they would hypothetically whup a hypothetical ripped, muscular 60-year old guy who hit their hypothetical child in a hypothetical WalMart? Can't we all just agree to laugh-at and make-fun-of the ACTUAL bozo who hit the ACTUAL child in an ACTUAL WalMart?
I take back what I said about the other guy posting the most ridiculous thing I have seen on here. Look, as a parent you worry about many things when it comes to your children. A grown man hitting your 2 year old daughter in the face multiple times is something I am sure most people never had in their worry bank. Naturally, many parents read and see this and are shocked. How on earth is anybody promoting violence by saying if a man was hitting their child they would return the favor 10 fold on him? Do you think any parent really cares if it against the law to attack a man who is attacking their child? Do you think any sane cop would actually arrest you in this situation or a DA would accept the case? As a person you have every right to protect yourself and your family. I don't think you have a very good grasp of the laws. I don't think one person here said it was someone else's problem if their kid was crying. I think that is pretty much everyone's beef here. A lunatic tried to make it his problem and thats how the act and this whole thread got started. Most all try to keep our children under control, and if this was in a movie or a setting where quiet or concentration is the norm, the parent should have taken their child out. Still would not give a lunatic the right to attack your child though. At Wal-mart, not quite the same. Wal-marts are generally madhouses anyways. You just try your best to calm the child and cut the trip a little short if it is that bad. I don't think balls would come much into play here considering women do not even have them and most would re-act immediately. The difference between this and someone raping your daughter is night and day, unless you walked in on the man raping your daughter. If someone is doing this right in front of your face, you act on instinct. You do all you can to save your child. You do not have time to rationalize the situation, and realize there is nothing you can do because he has already been arrested. I honestly feel for any kid you may ever have if you are more worried about being arrested than saving your child. Although, I think if you ever have a kid your stance will change dramatically.
This is EXACTLY what came to mind when I thought about what I would do in the same situation. Well, except I would have hit him in the kneecaps instead of the head. He'd be in pain and not in danger of dieing.
I think protecting your child is first priority, if a guy is willing to hit your kid, what else is he willing to do, first you get the kid out of there...... DD
It depends how you are responding. If a cop saw you brawling with a guy no matter what the cause he would break it up and likely take both of you into custody. If you've taken the guy down and then are proceeding to repeatedly kick him in the head he would arrest you and any DA that knows the law should take the case. The self-defense laws doesn't mean you can F- up someone who slaps your kid. It means you can respond in a reasonable manner that is appropriate in relation to the threat. What that means is that you can't kill or paralyze someone that slaps you or your family since that isn't a threat of death or severe bodily injury.
I'm with you but do you believe in paragraphs? I know that meggoleggo has questioned your spelling skills so I don't mean to hit a sore spot with you and have you go cuckoo for cocoa puffs on me; however, your post is really unreadable without paragraphs.
I am not talkin aout internet laws, was refferring to The Constitution and The Texas Penal code. You do not think a grown man hitting a 2 year old multiple times in the face is not a threat of death or severe bodily injury? What in your mind constitutes this? Does there have to be a weapon? Where is your line when it comes to your children? In your world, someone can hit your daughter multiple times in the face in front of you and you will wait and let the cops deal with it? Again, no sane cop or DA would punish you in any way. And if the cop or DA were someone like you, is that really gonna stop anyone from saving their child? I am sure most would take the ride to jail, and you would be villified in the media for arresting or prosecuting them and the judge would drop it. This would not make it all the way through the legal system without at least one person in the chain having common sense.
Serioulsy Manny, you are being obtuse, I respectfully ask you to keep my kids out of any mock outrage you have about me as a poster. Thanks, DD
Well you have complained about the cussing at this place and the post I quoted had at least 2 maybe more profanities in it. I just wanted to make sure you shielded your kid's eyes from reading that specific post. Sorry for trying to help.
