What part of “the teen punched a member in the back of the head” do you not understand? Did you even read the story?

No one can hit a 1 iron.

Police to adult suspect: “So, how many times did you punch the teen?”

Adult suspect: “Uhhh, put me down for a 5”

The "punched in the back of the head story" came from that obese golf-cart-riding "athlete" who was interviewed. You will note my skepticism of that source. The sight of the golfer rolling around in the ground with that kid should be embarrassing to all of you - but then again, maybe all of you look upon golf is vaguely worthwhile.

Sorry, I served in the Marine Corps and didn't waste my time riding around in carts and calling it "exercise". We also didn't waste our time wrestling with children.

If I can, I sure as heck wouldn’t admit it.

The saying we had was: “it’s sad but true - no enemy soldier was ever killed by a basketball, a baseball, a football, a bowling ball, or a golf all - that has always been the task of a trained rifleman”.

Nowhere in the video did the golfer appear to throw any punches or kicks at the teen. He looked like he was trying to restrain/control him.

I’ll bet the kids won’t be riding their bikes through the golf course again soon.

Marines don't golf? Interesting bit of new info.

I'll run by Miramar today and let the guys on the course know that you do not consider their activities worthwhile.

I'm sure they'll clear the course in your honor.

Julie Bowen certainly made it worth watching.

There was no beating. Watch the video.

I watched it before I commented. Concur that a beating did not occur in the video.

My comment was directed at the foreseeable outcomes of initiating a tussle with a 14-year-old.

If a kid responds to being grabbed by throwing punches, the individual is going to have to take the punches or respond in kind. Both have predictably bad outcomes.

If a grown man starts a physical confrontation and bruises the face of a 14yo, there isn't a DA or tort lawyer in the land that isn't going to call it a beating.

The recreation part went by the board when the posters insisted that a grown man attacking a 14 year old for riding his bike was appropriate. If they really want to fight, there are still openings at the recruiters.

From the video, the teens appear to be self-entitled, worthless white boys. They aren’t going to do anything but run to mommy and daddy if their bike is thrown in the pond.

These teens would most likely benefit from a good kick in the ass and boxing of the ears, but a nonrelated grown man that plans on doing it had better be ready for the wrath of the judicial system, where he’ll be treated as a greater threat than a child rapist.

You are correct; some Marines do play golf. I even have been known to play golf. It just isn't something enormously awe-inspiring and it has few, if any, translatable skills. I have always associated golf with old ladies with visors and sedentary rich guys with a lot of time on their hands.

Or maybe just people who beat up 14 year olds and then strut around afterward.

For riding his bike on the golf course..I did not comment on the fight..I was not there.Others have seen the video and said he was trying to restrain him.
I was commenting on your silly comment about sports and war..Many brave warriors have played sports and been very good with a rifle..Being proficient in sports does not mean one cannot be a good warrior..

My point of view is a bit jaundiced. I spent 18 months in combat and came back with little patience for the things that entertain my fellow citizens.

I definitely don’t admire grown men attacking a kid barely out of grade school.

I hope you support your children if they play sports..They need your support even though you are not entertained.

I thank you for your service to our country and to me.
