[Constitutions Grandchild]

“If the guy was actively trying to kill or maim the child and the only way you could stop him was to kill him, it would be justified, but if he slapped her and stopped,these people are talking murder.”

I disagree with your premise that one slap from a stranger gets a pass. I wouldn't have let it go with an, “I beg your pardon.” I would have pressed charges and there would have been a a scene that made the “crying” seem like a walk in a cemetery. He'd have surely wished he'd decided to try out his “creative parenting skills” elsewhere. The child in question was the least deserving person of the slap. Say what you will to me, but try to take matters into your own hands with my child and my maternal instincts will kick in and make a mother bear or lion look tame.

Don’t feel embarrassed.Lots of people have reading comprehension problems.

There was no “premise that one slap from a stranger gets a pass”.I said you don’t kill someone for a slap.
