If he was not melanin privileged (like the black perp) he’d be committing legal & financial suicide if he handled it himself.
Have you ever “tended” to a child and it kept crying? Babies don’t cease crying just because you pay attention to them. As a matter of fact, if you leap to your feet and pay attention to a baby every time it cries, you are training it to cry to get attention.
She was right. How dare he insult a prince of Wakanda like that!
Like simply walking away?
You beat me to it.
When our kids were infants my wife would get up and take them to the ladies room to take care of what was bothering them. Neither of us would subject everyone else to the babies crying. We took our order to go on certain occasions!!!
Example of how a mother in public thought about the others around her when her baby cried when Trump was speaking:
“I excused myself and my child when he awoke from his nap and began to cry. It was only because I had to grab my child’s belongings and then make my way out of the aisle I was seated in that I wasn’t out of there sooner. ...
“I fully support Mr. Trump. I thought he responded very graciously to my child crying and he made a lighthearted moment out of what I usually consider to be stressful. I actually was out of the auditorium before he even made his follow up comment about my child and even then, when I was informed of his comment.
“I laughed. I understand he says things jokingly, and I understand no one wants to speak over or struggle to listen over a crying baby. I am in no way offended and I again reiterate, Mr. Trump NEVER kicked me or my child out of the Briar Woods High School, Trump rally.”
“Did I guess correctly?”
...
A Hillary voter.
I knew a back lady named Parentheses Jones. Nice lady. Guess how she signed her name?
Yes, in many cases a babies cry is the same as a spinal tap.
Need to add “Diarrhea” to the list. ;o)
I am curious to know how old the “baby” was an infant? a toddler? Makes a difference.
As a former recruiter I guarantee it.
Mmm...Hmmmmmm.
Not trying to hijack this thread but......

First, I need to state that I am not a psychologist and do not play one on TV. I am an engineer who was trained to be a good observer, analyst, and problem solver. My only training regarding children and parental relations is that my wife and I raised two great kids, who are now very successful adults.
At birth, children are already very smart. They have a basic instinct to cry when they are in discomfort. God and nature has provided them with a cry that goes right to the spine of their parents and elicits an immediate response to meet the child’s need. If a low level cry of discomfort does not do the trick; they learn that raising the bar, will do the trick.
As the child becomes more aware of the world around them, he quickly learns that the same behavior that gives him comfort can also now be used to fulfill their worldly desire and whims and to control the behavior of others, siblings and parents. Unchecked, this is now a problem in self-will running amuck.
The easiest solution is to train the child (still very smart) that the behavior that previously brought comfort and their fondest desires, can now also bring pain in some circumstances. They very quickly learn that crying (and other mock signals of their own distress), will be comforted in some circumstances or will be punished in others. Again, they’re smart and will modify their behavior to get comfort when needed but also avoid pain. The pain referred to here is a spank on the butt. Applied consistently, it works. But, it also needs to be followed immediately with parental acceptance and comfort.
Is there an alternative? Sure, you exasperate your two year old child with long discussions of the global socio-economic eschatological implication of their behavior, while they continue to raise the bar because they know better than you. You can try to distract you child with a more enticing thing than they are asking for. What can go wrong with that? Oh, how about asking them if they want a spanking? (In my kids’ case, the question never got asked because it was already too late.) How about counting? At best the kid continues until your done counting then stops, at worst he knows nothing is going to happen and continues anyway. The problem with all of these is that the child does not have to recognize any authority in their life other than themselves. The fact is that there will ALWAYS be some authority in their life and the sooner they learn it, the easier your life and their life will be. Spanking set my children free on the path to a fulfilling life.
My wife works in a hospital and has seen that exact name on birth records. La-Dasha. Sheesh.
Cousin to Gonorrhea, sister named Korea?
I don’t see that it matters. Other people’s children are not my concern.
