The father of the boy is at fault here for not disciplining the little terror. I can't blame the neighbor for rushing to the defense of his family and knocking the bully down, bet it stops his brazen disrespect for adults in the future. The comments at the article are of the same opinion but this interview has them playing the victim of course:

All the local news programs ran a video showing the evil man shoving a poor defenseless boy, no mention of the other side of the story, FAKE NEWS AT ITS BEST.

This is why the government is now the enemy of the people. Instead of arresting the delinquent kid, the neighbor is arrested and charged.

Never trust a police officer. They are just cogs of the state and they are willingly to perform the work of enforcing unjust laws in return for a paycheck.

BEAT... THAT... A$$!!!!

anybody else remember the neighbor lady swatting your butt, and then your parents swatting your butt, because whatever you did to make the neighbor lady swat your butt in the first place? That needs to happen more often.

The charges against the father are nothing less than defending the leniency towards bad behavior by kids that unchecked sees them drifting into adult criminals.

The father of the boy should get the charges against the man dropped and thank him for trying to set the kid straight. He should also tell his kid he’s lucky the man intervened before the kid did something even worse, something that would get him in jail.

Christian, however, says there is never a reason for an adult to put their hands on a child.

Horsesh!t!!!

"Christian, however, says there is never a reason for an adult to put their hands on a child.

'They didn't do anything vicious. Even if they throw a rock at the car, it doesn't justify beating up a child. It just doesn't,' he said. "

This guy Christian, is an utter idiot. "beating up a child" is NOT what happened.

What DID happen is perfectly "justified"!

“Even if they throw a rock at the car, it doesn’t justify beating up a child. It just doesn’t,’ he said.” beat him up instead for bringing up a little scumbag then.

some kids just need shoving

Another little pos gets taught a lesson, shrieks of truth-hurt as he gets taught his lesson.

I wish I could find the longer video showing this kid harassing the guy's wife and calling her a whore and other unsavory things.

'Even if they throw a rock at the car, it doesn't justify beating up a child. It just doesn't,' he said.

And this right here defines why we have such a problem with this country's youth today. Parents who defend their kids no matter how wrong they are, and kids who get away with everything knowing mommy and daddy will always come to their rescue, no matter how wrong they are!

When I was growing up, we kids had it drilled into us to be respectful of adults. The routines I see kids pulling today were unthinkable back in those days. We were afraid to be disrespectful to them as we knew we'd get it far worse from our parents if they found out.

I can still remember when I was about 9 or 10 and I was part of a group of boys throwing snowballs at passing cars. Unknown to us, one of the cars pulled around the corner and a very angry man came up behind us. He grabbed one of my friends by the collar, as he was about to hurl another snowball, and shoved him into a snowbank. Then he proceeded to lecture the rest of us as we stood there frozen in fear, as melting snowballs fell from our hands. As he stormed away, we scattered like the wind. To my knowledge, none of us ever said a word to any of our parents about it.

We also never threw snowballs at cars again.
