“beating”??!! — give me a break, will ya?!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

A beating?

Pfffftttt...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Beating? Hey, she may have been very demonstrative but the method fit the crime.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Because you have a stupid article to write.

Because the demonstration of what it takes to prevent Black kids from destroying their towns is obvious enough so that even a navel-gazer like you [the author] can see it. But you continue to deny.

[Veggie Todd]

Yes, in today’s bizzaro world, that was child abuse.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Some statements defy analysis.

[ilgipper]

Killing and looting...cool.
Family discipline...out of bounds.

How are these people in charge?

[GeronL]

We should be celebrating the shooting of looters

[4rcane]

Its a projection by the author. On the flip side the author is revealing that he was celebrating black rioting

[AbnSarge]

...and how many children has this twit raised to adulthood?

As my sainted mother used to say, “I never knew so much about raising children as I did before I had any”.

[cripplecreek]

Because a black “child” was all that was available. But have no fear, plenty of white “children” need the same.

[Rusty0604]

Rush said he wouldn’t be surprised if the mom was charged with child abuse.

[Rusty0604]

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

[SeaHawkFan]

People are celebrating a mother being a parent.

[Norm Lenhart]

Because he deserved it.

[Nuc 1.1]

A beating, what nonsense. This adjunct professor is a dolt.

[dorothy]

And she comes with an agenda. From the Chronicle of Higher Education's website:

In addition to her work as a journalist, she is also a nationally recognized child activist and founder of Spare the Kids Inc., an organization that combats child abuse.

That was not a beating, that was a mother being a father to her child, and I was happy to see it.

[TomGuy]

The beating????

In another thread, it claimed Mommie ‘dragged’ son back home.

Have the media circulated photos of poor widdle Mikey when he was 7 years old?

Ironic that the media are all upset at a mother applying corrective action to her son, but they laud others who are throwing rocks at buildings and cars and looting stores.
