I'll say for what seems to be the 1000th time, I am not for a kid getting a whipping for dropping a ball but WE DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY FROM WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS.
“I’ll say for what seems to be the 1000th time, I am not for a kid getting a whipping for dropping a ball but WE DON’T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY FROM WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS.”
When you say: “I am not for... but...” you are qualifying your objection.
And common sense and decency demand that everyone object without reservation to the brutality depicted in this video. With no qualifiers. With no “we need more information.” No, we don’t.
You’re saying is there’s a plausible scenario — a ‘whole story’ — that if only we knew it, THIS BEAT-DOWN MIGHT BE OKAY.
There are no circumstances, no second act, real or imaginary, in which this would be okay. So we do in fact know the ‘Whole Story’: Grown Man Beats Child. The End.
I’ll say for what seems to be the 1000th time, I am not for a kid getting a whipping for dropping a ball but WE DON’T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY FROM WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS.
