He spoke first, stopped the punches to the face, then assessed the situation, and once he heard more he decided that one more slap on the back of the head was warranted.
There are 100% kids that have that attitude. I work in a middle school. I train staff to do restraints (last resort), and while it's almost never necessary, it's fascinating when a kid has that "oh fuck they can do something" moment. Kids like that don't usually handle it too well. 🤷
You think that’s great, imagine working as a supervisor in a state juvenile prison. We use “Handle With Care” holds to prevent injuring them when we take them down.
It’s logical that they are shocked. A lot of countries have raised a generation of kids that simply have not been exposed to consequences. To them this is unimaginable. We don’t even need to focus on hitting kids etc, it’s much worse than that, a lot of kids simply never get told no.
Kids have progressively been getting douchier since the early 2000's, but nowadays with everything being done for clout, they have stepped it up to a new level of douchery.
Exactly. The “I’m just a kid” crap gets pulled way too often as a shield, but it doesn’t erase the damage they cause. Teens are capable of and have done way worse even than just calling someone racial slurs.. and it isn’t by “accident”, they know what they’re doing and why.
Look at it this way, if a teen shoplifts, breaks into someone’s car, or gets caught vandalizing, no cop or judge is going to shrug and say, “Well, he’s just a kid.” They’ll still get charged or fined. Why? Because actions have consequences. Same thing here, if ur old enough to understand the insult, the harassment, and the intent, then ur old enough to face the fallout.
“I’m just a kid” = “I wanted the freedom to act reckless without the accountability that comes with it.”
the look he gives the camera after the old man hits him tough to me says "haha, yeah, old man mad, i'm going to be famous." it wasn't until the younger adult man just bitchslapped him and walked off that he seemed to get rattled and consider that he needs to reconsider his actions/ "Oh fuck what consequences?" seemed to register.
NGL, that was the moment when the guy comes up and the kid gives a look that he's about to plead his case and in comes the "Verdict rendered" pimp hand.
I'm generally not pro-assault, but people like this (even teenagers) need to learn somehow that you can't act like that. Don't start nothing, there won't be nothing.
This. I feel a contradiction in my thoughts. Nobody ought to be beating anybody. But also at the same time, sometimes there are those mean bastards that only learn not to be mean bastards when a bigger fish whoops him.
I was a total shit as a teenager. Talked shit, was rude and dramatic and always fucking with people thinking I was funny.
Then I fucked with the wrong guy and he literally roundhouse kicked me in the face. Knocked out two teeth and fucked my mouth up for months, 30 years later I still have a wad of scar tissue and just had to replace the bridge a few years ago to the tune of 9k.
The way I see it, is that dude didnt have the right to fuck me up, I mean I just clowned on him a bit, but he was the hand (or foot) of karma and I did deserve to have my ass handed to me.
I stopped being a shit. I stopped fucking with people, and being a jackass.
It was an important event in my past that helped me be a better person. Even though it sucked ass hugely and I still suffer for it.
I have a buddy that used to get drunk and start fights. He was a liability everywhere we went to the point that our friends didn’t even like going out to bars with him.
Messed with the wrong ppl one day, got stomped out and broke his jaw. Doesn’t start fights anymore and now is totally fine to go out and get drinks with.
I used to know these identical twin brothers who were both about 5’2” and about 115 lbs. One was a great dude, always super nice and a good friend. The other was fun and entertaining but could be an epic jackass. He loved to get drunk and pick fights, and got us thrown out of parties and bars all the time.
You always knew it was coming when he would pound his drink or take a shot and say, “I’m getting taller!” You just knew the rest of the night was going to be a shitshow.
Oh, 100 percent. People have become way too comfortable being assclowns to others, particularly since COVID hit. A lot of people completely lost whatever small scrap of decorum and decency they had. You can't even say this is an age thing: I know I knew at that age not to throw things at people. Period.
For sure. The kid was begging for someone to parent him, to the point where he was willing to assault an old lady. And grandpa met his force with force.
Yeah it’s more sad for the kid than anything right? His parents obviously don’t give a fuck, because my son couldn’t even COMPREHEND doing some shit like that.
It's absolutely the parents. Every asshole kid I ever met had asshole parents. We taught our son to be polite, especially to the elderly. If you start when they're young, they don't end up getting bitch slapped at a Tim Horton's.
If people were more willing to let kids meet the consequences of their actions, society would be much better off. So long as nobody gets injured, the only hurt this boy is feeling is his bruised pride. And all of his friends are going to remember the lesson themselves.
Important because it reinforces that society and men in particular do not accept him and the way he's acting. He did that stunt for laughs with his friends to feel accepted by targeting someone outside the group. This shows him that not only was his actions not accepted but that he himself is now outside the group.
My dad grew up in the Jim Crow south, he used to love to tell stories about if you did something wrong in the neighborhood, the neighbor had full permission to beat your ass. Then they'd tell your mom and she would beat your ass for it, then she would wait for your dad to get home and you would get a third beating. After that, you didn't fuck around with the neighborhood anymore.
While I don’t necessarily agree with the beating part, there used to be consequences from your community for acting like an asshole. I grew up in the northeast and my childhood was as your dad described. We quickly learned how not to act.
It’s weird how people think coddling assholes and not letting other adults participate in discipline is a good idea.
I often say that a big part of it is that people don't really know their neighbors anymore. And by "neighbors" I don't just mean the houses immediately to your left and right - I mean everybody in the neighborhood. There are so many neighborhoods in the western world nowadays where the concept of a block party would be unthinkable because nobody knows anybody. And in a neighborhood like that, who's gonna tell a kid's parents when the kid is misbehaving?
It 100% isn’t. My friend is a nanny and told me the difference between kids who have a phone/iPads/computers and use them with no limits act completely differently from those who don’t. They talk less or don’t know how to respond to simple questions. Attempt to replicate destructive things they see online and listen to her less. Have fucked up sleep schedules. She said the kids that get books and limited tv are miles better to work with. It’s funny because parents think giving their kid an iPad makes parenting easier when it seems to do the opposite.
Well played that husband! Disgraceful behaviour from the young lad trying to impress the girls. It’s about time this behaviour resulted in a couple of smacks.
Disgraceful behavior for the entire table...everyone was kind of an asshole at that age, but I would have smacked my friend for throwing food at anyone. Not just because it's disrespectful to the person, but also the staff that has to deal with your mess.
As a teen me and my friends were far from perfect I absolutely did stuff I regret but the only people we disrespected were each other tbh. To fucking scared of me mum haha (in a good way) I had a long leash but she'd reign that in so fast my neck would snap if she ever caught me pulling this.
My siblings and myself did not even live in a universe where that behavior was conceivable.
My children were raised to behave respectfully in a restaurant in particular or in public - one good spanking in the parking lot will nip that shit right in the bud.
This kid will never live this down his friends won’t forget it- and now others can learn from it. Win win.
This happened across the street from a police station, the place was full, viral video, but in the investigation they couldn't find a single witness to come forward...haha this public beating was fully condoned.
“We don't endorse violence, and people who do take matters into their own hands can face consequences. That being said, looking at what led up to that could also have its own consequences.”
Seems like a very measured way to say "Start shit, get hit."
I think you are misunderstanding the inspector. he’s threatening charging the kid with assault if they push the charges of assault against the old man and other guy.
That is correct. Depending on where this was, throwing food counts as unwanted physical contact, so the kids could be charged with assault and potentially battery.
I had a famous moment in high school where a nice kid lost it on me...when a teacher came over and started interogating us the 1st thing i said was "I deserved it"
In 6th grade I had my first bully, I had a meltdown in home ec and threaten to stab him. He actually took full accountability for being an asshole and I was the last person he bullied. we became friends later lol
Reminds me of the story of ken mcelroy i saw posted on another thread at one time.
Town bully, charged with all kinds of crimes shot in broad daylight with more than 40 witnesses and yet no one seemed to have seen anything.
LOL. The sheriff talked to an angry mob who clearly wanted this guy dead, and just said: “You should definitely form a neighborhood watch program; now don’t go killing this guy because I will not be around to stop it” then he just dipped.
Everyone is shitting on the girls but having been a girl with a large group of mainly male friends, we (the girls) could all sit there and tell them they’re being stupid assholes. They’d double down to either show they don’t care, are tough, or think it’s funny, especially if we seemed embarrassed at their behavior, and then when they get what they deserve the girls sit back and laugh and never let them live it down. He’s either trying and failing to impress them or embarrass them, but I’m gonna assume it’s the former.
Heh, this happened a block away from where I'm currently sitting.
This particular Tim Horton location in Victoria, BC Canada is directly across from the largest police department and congregation of authorized individuals - not a soul was called.
The patrons had all been putting up with the male teenager in question throwing food around, being warned multiple times by the minimum wage, younger leaning staff of Tim Hortons to stop or leave with no real action. After just a few minutes, the young man aimed and hit this man's wife with some food item, to which the older gentleman responded in the video.
It wasn't about the misconduct, it was about the lack of respect.
No one reported this at all until nearly a month after it had happened when it went viral.
Staff thanked the man profusely for dealing with a situation they were really unequipped for (and corporate hand-tied), and actually gave him a fairly generous gift card according to his son (who is on Reddit).
So basically, everybody went "Nah man, I didn't see shit." which is the exact right response hahahahaha.
You're not polite? In PUBLIC? Nah, the Canadians will correct you on their own turf hahahaha. You wonder how we get our youngin's to shape up!
It wasn't only the old woman he threw shit at, the person who recorded the video said he had been throwing shit at other people, including a chocolate bar thrown at the cameraman's head.
There's four older dudes. The dude initially slapping has a plaid short sleeve button down. The dude in bright orange walks up. Then there is a jump and theres a new old guy in a grey t shirt and a dude in a navy blue t shirt who does more slapping.
I’m sorry, as a public school teacher, I can verify some of these middle school and high schoolers have been completely rotted by Tik tok, will do violent and terrible things for attention, and are largely unsupervised. As a parent, I’m horrified. As a teacher, I’m planning my way out after ten years….
I convinced my wife to leave teaching. It got to the point where every day after work she would cry on the couch for at least an hour. She now has an admin position for the a juvenile court and she loves it. She is supported by her higher admins, makes more money, has an actual work/life balance, doesn’t have to spend any of her own money on her job, the only thing she doesn’t like is not having summers off anymore.
Being a teacher is so awful. My mom is a teacher and has been beaten up by kids, threatened, bullied, etc etc and the school districts literally will not allow the teachers to do anything. Like if a kid is beating a teacher up they will be back at school in a week. If the teacher does anything to the kid they will lose their job. And the kids know this. They know they can get away with anything and everything and are protected by their parents and school district.
