[Colonel Kangaroo]

My dad never whipped us for dropping a ball or any innocent mistake. We only got it when we were asking for it, only for things like willful disobedience or persistent whining. My brother only remembers one time when he got one that he doubted he deserved, but we agreed it was more than made up for all the times we probably deserved one and didn't get it.

If this whipping in California was for merely dropping a baseball, I'd agree it was uncalled for and despicable. But we can't tell from the video what it was really for.

Oh, that's what it's all about eh Mr. Kangaroo?

What a surprise!

This is a little late in posting for you to say “if” about anything. You either did, or did not view this video. Geven your number of minority opinion postings, would you have cheered the man on to continue the baseball lesson for the day?
