Assault or not?

"Kid" was probably a mudslime terrorist wannabe that was heroically stopped by this bald old man.

a lot of people don't put in jack shit with their life.

If he didn't pop his arm out of its socket, then what he did is the most gentle way you could "assault" someone. I dont think it should count since he didnt do any damage to the kid, just taught him a lesson.

>I have nobody but myself and my negligent behavior to blame for that incident happening
Once again, in your example, you are assuming that any kids not with their parents or guardian have been abandoned temporarily and it is due to negligence or parents.

It completely ignores that most kids can and do spend time by themselves outside of their homes without their parents, and that is often completely normal in modern society.

And when kids are not with their parents, it does not mean that they are abandoned, and that any other adult they encounter can discipline them.

Your Chicago example was very specific and talks about parents who willfully abandon their children.

The reality will be more vaguely defined, like: >your kid is on a bus or train, perhaps with friends or on their way to school or the mall,
>he does something an adult stranger doesn't like based on the stranger's own ideas of how kids should behave
>the stranger decides unilaterally to discipline and punish the kid.

I'm saying that is clearly not okay.

Was this assault?

Do chinks really get this triggered by eating in public? If the guy was spitting sunflower seeds on the floor I understand why someone would get offended.
The young guy has the spirit of an american, someone tells you what to do and you immediately say fuck off.

In my small tight knit community, it is perfectly fine as long as it happens to a child.

Don't many Chinese parents let their kids pee and poop in public though?

he WAS spitting seeds on the floor, when everyone asked him to stop he kept repeating "FUCK OFF"

although i don't really agree with the hammering either

so when did being american de synchronize from being christian?
