OK, technically this guy isn't a hero -- the police generally frown upon making good on a threat to give someone else's crying child something to cry about. But ya gotta admire his follow-through -- and maybe next time this 2-year-old will think twice before causing such a scene in a public place. (Thanks, John!)

(212) Hero of the Week
OK, technically this guy isn't a hero -- the police generally frown upon making good on a threat to give someone else's crying child something to cry about.

Sorry, there's nothing to admire about this. Granted, lots of people don't deal with their kids the way they should, but a stranger has no right to slap a 2 year old. He should be arrested and thrown in the slammer.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I just don't get ur sense of humor Kenny. That's a cruel story. Kids can be annoying for sure & too many parents don't control their kids at all in public -- which is snotty as hell. Smacking the parent of an annoyng kid might be sorta funny, but hitting a 2 year old is abusive & horrible. What exactly do u find so hilarious about this?
ReplyDeleteChild Abuse...so very funny! Rethink your sense of humor please!
ReplyDeleteNot funny in the slightest!
ReplyDeleteYou do have to wonder what those wailing infants are thinking.
ReplyDeleteI wish the kid had slapped him back.
ReplyDeleteKen, I generally find your blog delightful but I cannot believe you'd make light of the assault of a child. This man had no idea what the situation was with this 2-year-old baby. 2!! Perhaps the child was autistic or challenged in some way? Children cry. Children are loud. Perhaps it's because I haven't been in a Walmart in ages but I have to wonder who in their right mind is expecting peace and quiet at a Walmart? It's a store, not a freaking library.
ReplyDeleteI hope this prick does a few weeks.
Hero?? Please....
Feh! I think many people join me in despairing of parents that let their children run riot through public places without any supervision. If you're in a public place, at least make an effort of keeping a lid on them. Not everyone finds them precious! If a child is wailing like a car alarm, take him or her outside for a time out instead of inflicting the world with it.
