Father apparently had to learn this lesson the hard way.

I don't think you have the whole story. The father didn't exactly go on the floor of the Democrat Convention, here. And even if he did, police cannot stand idly by and allow public assault on a three year old girl. I'm sorry. The question I and others have is - why - doesn't Phil Parlock press charges against this goon? I think that's what people are wondering.

Thanks. Well, it does seem odd that the father would really be that naive about the behaviour of these types of crowds. I don't think this type of stuff needs to be staged (there are enough goons to go around), but when the choices are either that, or that he intentionally brought a young child into a predictably volitile situation - and for political gain and media face time at that - it is disgusting and inexcusable.

I really don't want to believe that some people are so eager and willing to use their own children as political props, but we know they do. If that's what this one turns out to be, I can't say I'd be surprised.

I have sympathy if he is just plain dumb, but he doesn't appear to be a clueless dimwit. He could be just another believer in the "end justifies the means". That would make him no different than any idiot who would bully a three-year-old or kick a puppy. How fitting, then, that he should participate in the same rally as union goons.
