I think that everyone has good views on the issue here, life does suck sometimes and I agree there is too much cuddling of the kids. However I think some of the best life lessons that can be learned is that sometimes confrontation is needed. I have said this before and I will say it again, Jail aint so bad if you go for the right reason. If this guy had pushed my son an whoopin is in line. My son would see that sometimes you have to stand for something, sometimes you do get your feelings hurt but if there is a way to keep it from happening then action needs to be taken. I havent seen the video or anything, but let me ask where were the other men in the area, why did they not step in and help the mom and kid, personally I would have stepped in and made sure the kid walked away with the ball......... Stand up for what you believe in.....What a great example you could be
Well the sad thing is, there was no mention of the boys father, so more than likely it was just the boy and his mom.
I hate to say it, but if there was a man there (father of the boy, boyfriend, step dad, whatevber), the chances are the guy would not have pushed the boy like that.
Not saying women cant kick butt, but there would have been an intimidation factor present that probably wasnt there.
A friend of mine was at a ball park one night and he was sitting a few seats down from this guy and his son. His son had some banner thing or something he was waving.
Well there were these three big burly bikers sitting behind the boy, one of them grabbed this kids banner and ripped it in to, I guess it was bugging the guy or something.
I guess the father was kind of a small guy, and was a little intimidated and told his son "its ok, I will buy you another one"
Well the big bad biker dudes I guess were chuckling about it thinking it was funny.
Well it was funny alright, because about 5 rows behind those "bad a$$" bikers dudes were like 10 bigger biker dudes. Those guys didn’t think it was all that funny.
They all kind of made there way down to the boy, the biggest dude looked at the boy and said "that wasn’t right what that guy did, here take mine (I guess that guy had one also) anyway, in one motion, right after the boy took the banner from the good bikers hand, the guy turned around and commenced to beating the crap out of the guy that had broke the kids banner.
His 2 bad a$$ buddies just sat there like little girlies because if they would have got up they would have had THEIR a$$'s handed to them.
Anyway, the good guy finished pummeling the jerk and the 10 nice guys went back to their seats, left the guy sitting in his chair beat up and bleeding.
Cops showed up and asked what happened, no one said anything, everyone played stupid like they hadn’t seen nothing, including the guy that got his a$$ handed to him.
