How about the father for taking the 4 year old skiing?
Who said she was careless?
Read the article, She swerved to avoid another skier.
You do know that ski slopes are crowded and dangerous, don't you?
There is simply no justification for a man punching a 14 year old girl like that for an accident. Are you related to the jerk or something that you're defending his actions? Or do you make it a habit to beat people up for accidents?
You can’t take rights of self defense away from men.
This is NOT self-defense. This is immature, out of control rage.
I have not been to China, but my experience in Korea was that they all believed they should be first in line. The rules of driving; Largest car has right of way, if you make eye contact, you loose. Japan I found to be totally opposite of Korea. People were courteous to everyone and waited their turn. I found the taxi cabs interesting in that they had white lace starched seat covers and when the driver was waiting for a fare would get out of the cab and wipe the car meticulously.
Sorry about drifting off subject.
no. my assessment makes much more sense than your fantasy.
It would have been wrong to punch her if she’d been a 45 year old woman.
I’m interested to know what you think that 14 year old girl could have said that would have justified the adult male hitting her in the face with his fist two to four times.
Keep in mind, adult males are not even allowed to hit other adult males, if they say things that aren’t nice.
Great question
There was no threat, there was a collision between two children on a ski slope, it happens all the time ESPECIALLY on the beginner slopes where there's a higher concentration of low level skiers new to the sport. Plus the 4 year old wasn't injured..........
For the adult to hit the 14 year old girl with his fists is outrageous and uncalled for.....he got off light and was damn lucky her father wasn't on the scene or then he would have received the punishment he deserved......
How do you know the girl was a punk? Do you know her?
And the father wasn't?
She was in an accident. He did this deliberately.
Who's the punk?
still. he was being protective.
My reaction would have been to rush to my 4 year old and make sure he was all right. Take care of him. This guys reaction was to ignore the kid and attack the girl.
Weird if you ask me.
Yes, like the little zitty boys that they are, they show up on threads proudly demonstrating their ignorance. It's disgusting how nasty they get when they feel threatened.
They'll never be men. There's too much arrested development and emotional immaturity in those types.
I think this 41-year-old deserves a much stiffer sentence for his childish and reprehensible actions.
I’ve raised 6 children, and seen it all. He’s a chump.
you missed it. you totally and completely missed what I said and are instead trying to bait me with speculative nonsense.
“when the driver was waiting for a fare would get out of the cab and wipe the car meticulously”
Yeah the Japanese are very different. What’s their motivation?
What men. Championing the beating up of a 14 year old girl.
Thank God that there were witnesses to stick up for her.
I can’t believe all the excuses for this adult jerk.
The 14 year old girl was probably learning to ski herself or she wouldn’t have been on that slope. She may not have known how to slow down yet.
Good grief folks, get a grip.
14 year old girl assaulted by an adult male with his fists?
Adult male pummeling a little girl?
And yet, the adult gets the benefit of the doubt here. Talk about your subliminal knuckle dragging dregs of life logic...
How do you know how fast she was skiing? Were you there? do you know her? Did you see it?
Or are you just continuing to make a lot of ASSumptions?
How would you feel about it if it had be a 27 year-old guy instead of a 14 year-old girl?
ML/NJ
The scientist thought her had finally found the person responsible for Golubal Warming!
“And many 14 year olds are definitely little girls.”
<p.I have a 14 yo niece she is about 5’ tall and maybe 90# soaking wet.I couldn’t imagine a ground man punching her in the face 4 times.
