The problem is criminalizing everything and acting outraged in a society where outrages are tolerated, even protected, every day. It’s best not to shove a kid, but under the circumstances, arrested? This man is evil but MS-13 gang members have a “divine spark”.
Hes nt evil, hes teaching the kid a life lesson.
in the past this would be a teachable moment not to act like a bully towards bigger people. a golden rule moment. Dont treat others in a way you wouldnt want them to treat you.
in the old days theyd get whupped and drqgged back to their parents, whod whup them again, because parents used to be embarrassed about having a$$hole kids disrespecting their elders/neighbors.
we hqve too many apologists here for deliquent crybullies. If the parents had actually disciplined him strongly earlier, he wouldnt be a little smart ass punk thug who thinks he can get away with doing this to adults.
