Guy with Down syndrome gets KO'd for kicking 4 year old

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC3TeH6B0DE

What do you make of this?

Personally I can't blame the dad for reacting that way...

Headshot.

Seriously though, it's a perfectly legit reaction.

I lol'd at how the kid gangsta-hopped into the camera.

Anyway, I would've done the same thing for sure.

FALCON PUNCH!!!

What possessed that guy to kick the kid?

Anyway I dunno. I don't think it was necessary to knock the guy out, but it was definitely an understandable knee-jerk reaction.

Same thing any dad would've done, it's simply the natural urge to protect your child.Big_player

Yes, knock out first, then ask questions

I think this sort of random violence is NOT justified. It would be the equivelant of the police just happening to see the guy punching out the autistic guy and open fire on him. I guess in a law case, it would justifiable, but that man should have known better.

The autistic guy is really like a child, what happened is the equivalent of a 13 year old lightly kicking a 5 year old and then the father of the 5 year old to knock out the 13 year old. Some of you may think it would the cool but in reality, it's quite barbaric and NOT how you solve things.

If thats sarcams and your actually willing to stop and ask questions to a guy who has the intent to hurt your child then you'll be a worse father then the man in the video.

The thing is, it wasn't on purpose, the autistic man really does not understand better. And father of the child should have at least resorted to harsh words (which probably would have been enough to stop the autistic man) before he resorted to harsh voilence. It's not like the kid was crying because he got injured, the kid wasn't really hurt at all, just stunned.

thats prime bs right there

you dont think the autistic guy hasnt been told not to be violent?

what about the responsibility of the care taker? Why did he bring him out?

Words dont always solve problems, which is why we have fists.

I would at least push him back and stop him in a defensive way. Plus, punching the man out isn't exactly setting the best example for the kid.

on the contrary, I think its setting an excellent example for the kid.

not only does it show that his dad isnt a sissy, it also shows that people have boundaries and you cant let everything slide

its all part of being a man.

what about the responsibility of the care taker? Why did he bring him out? Wasn't it the responsibility of the father to prevent his child from getting hurt? Neither the father or caretaker could have stopped what happened.

Words dont always solve problems, which is why we have fists. Do you understand the only person who got injured in that incident was the autistic man, do you think that's a proper way to solve a problem?

your not gonna be thinking that when your in that situation. Your gonna see a man kick your son you dont know what he is gonna do next. Its a random guy who is gonna hurt your son if your gonna stop him with words then god help you.NetYankEagle

Yes but again, how injured was the son, was he crying on the flow, knocked out? No, the only person who got knocked out was the autistic man. Even if it was justified, it was too extreme of a response

the kid didnt do anything wrong. the kid just went into the store. The father needs to take his kid out because the kid is growing up and learning how to socialize with people. The mentally handicapped person shouldnt have been in public at the risk of what actually happened.

yes I do realize that, and I think that its justified.

when I have kids, and if I find someone kicking him you bet your ass im gonna do the same. I would expect my kids to do the same with their kids.

If you knew he had down syndrome it's reasonable because then he probably kicked him out for no specific reason, but by the looks of it the father had no idea he had down syndrome and thought it was a sane person with intent to hurt his child. Any father would want to stop the person, not go into a defensive position and slow him down.Big_player

But again, the swiftness of the voilence was too extreme in my opinion. Unlike other people, I guess my opinion of how much force to use when you need to defend someone in the situation is different. I honestly believe I would have yelled and picked up my child or at least pushed the other guy down than going all out and puching him out.

I assume your one of those left wing types who thinks defending youself and your family is wrong.

I agree that, your way would be more reasonable if there was time to think about the situation, but sometimes as a parent you need to make a decision in a split second when your child is in danger.

im sorry you're british.
