Roger, that wasn’t smart. You slapped the wrong person.

[PLMerite]

It takes a village...

[Drango]

BRAVO!

(just joking....but who doesn’t want to slap a cryin’ kid?)

[armymarinemom]

A two year old having a melt down. Hooda thunk it. Crying kids do drive you nuts but just darn! I get upset at the older kids who just don’t mind.

[Islander7]

I find a dirty old sock stuffed in the mouth works better than a slap.

Seriously, Roger needs a beat down.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

slapping the 2-year-old multiple times in the face and then walking away.

How awe-inspiringly courageous. Surprised he didn't ask for a five-minute head start while he was at it.

[wardaddy]

man....I woulda beat the snot out of that guy

violence solved by more violence

works

* i believe in spanking kids but not slapping 2 year olds for crying

(five spawn)

He’d be one very battered and bruised man if it were my child.

September 2 has been designated as Roger Stephens Day. The day is filled with parades and picnics. Fireworks in the evening.

Just kidding.

Stephans is lucky the father wasn’t around.
Father? Ok, I’m kidding again.

If a person is too sensitive to shop at Walmart, where there are - egad! - families with young children, who are sometimes noisy, he should shop someplace else.

[Chickensoup]

FELONY cruelty???

In a world where KILLING a two year old gets 18 months to a year???

[The G Man]

Heeeere's ... Roger!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Way out of line.

Slap my kid, and I punch you. Fair enough?

[jacknhoo]

Link with pic...he even looks mean.

I do not know how to post a picture of the perp, but here is a link to the Gwinnett Daily Post article that has his picture

because, you know, slapping a two-year-old always helps calm them down.

I suppose for Huffington’s sake, I should post a sarcasm tag.

[DejaJude]

I certainly hope this guy never had any kids of his own. If he could do this to a stranger’s kid in public, think what he would do to his own. And thank goodness for the bystander who detained him.

[AussieJoe]

I shudder to think what my wife would have done to that guy if it was one of our kids.... he’d be taking a ride in an ambulance, without a doubt.

[housemouse 1]

hey, no slapping kids faces unless their teens and they’re cussing you.
