The left doesn’t want real men. They want candy-face wusses.
An involved dad, huh.
I feel certain the dad *doesn’t* belong to a certain group.
And I bet you can guess, too.
I went to a Catholic parochial school for 10 years. The nuns would hit you with a stick. If your dad found out the nuns had to hit you, you would get a second wuppin’.
THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE.
Ward Cleaver, Ozzy Nelson and Jim Anderson are dead, along with the best of our nation’s culture........................
You are right about the way things were done in the past. That said, I don’t see it as the role of a man to raise his hand in anger on anyone else’s kids except in cases of immediate danger to someone. It’s good to be protective of your own kids, but as an adult you need to come up with ways to address situations without just wailing on someone weaker.
“Discretion is the better part of valor”
Is simply inadvisable to ever strike another persons child… regardless of the reason. There are better ways to handle it.
If the kids were doing it, then he should thank his lucky stars he got off with just being slapped. His parents, and the others, should find out if what he accused their kid of was true or not, and if so, tell the DA and the Cops to drop the charges, and force their son to be a man and apologize and take his consequences.
If the kids weren’t bullying the girl, then throw the book at the Dad.
What if the man’s stepdaughter was lying?
So this guy hit another man’s son? If I were the DA, I’d prosecute. And if I were on the jury, I’d vote not guilty.
He’s not going to be a very effective stepdad from jail, now is he?
Dad overplayed his hand. An adult slapping someone else’s 12-year-old child is grounds for a beatdown.
You tell me and I’ll decide how to punish my child.
My guess is he will get more time than a gang-banger will get for a gun crime.
My dad did something similar to this over 50 years ago to a 12 year old boy who was bullying my 8 year old sister. He didn’t slap him though...he grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and lifted him to eye level and shook him good and told him there’d be hell to pay if he ever laid a hand on his daughter again. He didn’t!
Idiot! he could have paid some Mexican kid to do the job and never been caught!
The next day, the victim told his teacher he was afraid to go to lunch because he didn’t want to see the suspect’s stepdaughter.
Never ever hit a child unless you or someone else’s life is in danger. My guess is he will be prosecuted and lose!!!!
I was harrassed and bullied by a boy and his brother from kindergarten all the way up to freshman year in high school. Their father encouraged it. I even called him up one time posing as my mother and he defended their behavior because “your daughter is a brat.”
But if my dad had gone after these boys it would only have made an awful situation that much worse. After all, my father was an alcoholic and the boys’ father would no doubt have used that against him. He was just a bastard and I learned a lot about how to deal with people like him as a result, so I suppose there was some upside to this experience.
I’m 3 miles from where this happened. This are is mostly white, blue collar. A lot of folks here work at the plants or ship channel which is very close.
The response of the stepdad is typical of how a lot of country folks think things should be handled. He was wrong though. He crossed the line when he made physical contact.
I was that older brother on more than one occasion.
The brats I confronted never did bug my siblings after that.
mess with any of my daughters and you’ll get the business end of me appropriate with for age... if you’re 12, a little bitch slap is appropriate... if you’re a grown man, you’re getting the full beat down.
Don’t PHUCK with a man’s daughters. That is all.
