Got to be careful of old people. They may be off their meds, and are too hurting to really tussle, so they'll just kill you!

Sometimes old people are just too old to care what happens next.

It’s like I tell my kids when we wrestle;
“If you can shout that you can’t breathe, you can breathe.”

Just sayin’.

6’ 4” 200 lb isn’t “fat.”

I wish I could find a clip of the crossing guard scene from the beginning of the movie dirty work.

The reason we have manners is so that we don’t kill each other.

Bingo.

6’-4” and 200# = fat?

Who can figure? I bet most 6' 4" guys haven't seen 200 lbs since high school.

Two thoughts:

1) 14 year old vs. 60 year old, fair fight.

2) "...when Kelly, a 6-foot 4-inch-tall, 200-pound man with a criminal history of assault,..." How in this day and age does anybody with a criminal history become a school crossing guard? I had to get a background check before I could volunteer to assist in our 4th grade classroom - and my wife is the teacher!

“…certainly inappropriate behavior”…

Which behavior, the 14 year abusive old puke!

IMO the problem is the guy was working as a crossing guard.

“Kelly, a 6-foot 4-inch-tall, 200-pound man with a criminal history of assault,”

“This was a get-even attack,” police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told the Delaware County Times. “It was certainly inappropriate behavior.”

No you weak piece of trash, it was totally appropriate.

True, perhaps the school erred in hiring someone with a criminal record, but that certainly doesn't excuse the punk's behavior. If anything, the punk might hopefully learn that he shouldn't be calling people names, lest he gets his ass kicked, or worse.

The boy was sitting outside the Shadeland Avenue Pharmacy on Garrett Road when Kelly, a 6-foot 4-inch-tall, 200-pound man with a criminal history of assault,

Why did the school district employ a convict with a history of assault to become a crossing guard in the first place?

That "don't" make sense.

While I don’t want crossing guards beating every dumb kid willy nilly, I find it very difficult to muster much sympathy for the “victim”. When I was a kid growing up in Texas in the 70’s, if a kid were to mouth off at an adult like that he’d have been whipped, with a belt right in front of everyone and it would be considered justified.
No police necessary, then he’d be hauled to the principal’s office, plus he’d be in trouble when he got home.
I live on the west coast now and my Aunt in Texas tells me spanking is banned in schools down there.Can any Freepers tell me if this is true?

This just in: 14 year old boy learns that a 60 year old man arrives at that stage of life after having been a soldier/longshoreman/police officer/martial arts expert/sharpshooter/corrections officer/serial killer/ex-con/construction laborer/professional boxer/hitman or any combination thereof. These experiences are combined with the use or abuse of drugs and alcohol over a period of decades and then filtered with prejudices, relational disappointments, frustrations, and a fear of what the future holds. Lapping over all of this is a wash of irrational anger that the powers he once commanded are slipping through his fingers. Now from behind the young man’s lifted blinders, he can clearly see that he has been in the presence of an infinitely dangerous predator with skills, experience, and motives that are far beyond his comprehension. If he has wisdom, the young man would make amends to the elder and thank him for administering a lesson that may well extend his years on this planet. If not, I wouldn’t give him odds past 16.

Careful with that line of reasoning, there were union goons where were repeatedly hired as “security” at Hillary Clinton events who assaulted FReepers and other protesters (one got gouged in the eyes even).

Maybe they “shouldn't have been calling Hillary names” or dissenting, lest they get their ass kicked.
