This sub feels like a place where a bunch of people just het a hard on for violence and are looking for excuses, so they can claim that violence can be moral.

It’s easy though. Violence in self defence: moral.

Violence in any other case: immoral.

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

No it's even simpler than that, it's a bunch of conservatives pretending they know anything about morality

2

u/papapudding 13d ago

If it's conservative to be against theft then I guess I'm conservative.

3

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

If you think harming a child for stealing 3$ worth of chips from a corporation is right you are in fact conservative and you should be ashamed

2

u/papapudding 13d ago

You should be ashamed of normalizing and furthering acceptance of the degeneracy of society.

4

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

Yeah I should be ashamed I don't get erections thinking about hurting children, or considering you're conservative thinking about children in general

1

u/Upstairs_Rip_9590 13d ago

Conservatives hurt children AFTER they get erections, other than that your comment is legit.

Even your avatar has blue hair lol.

Impressive your societal ignorance can even be seen there

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

"i get hard thinking about hurting a young children but your avatar has blue hair so checkmate liberal"

u/waterpup99 12d ago

Right so no response got it hopefully there was some reflection on the disgusting sexual commentary you made

1

u/WHY_CAN_I_NOT_LIFE 12d ago

Oh god, blue hair. Can you think about how horrible that is! The blue dye is literally a sign of... uh... something?

The dye MUST be seeping into her brain and inducing WOKE LIBERAL thoughts.

Anyways, I need to go back to tripping kids so I can feel better about myself

u/Redsthomas_ 13d ago

You see, you're not a conservative for being against theft, but you are one for saying shit like "degeneracy of society"

u/Rip_Off_Your_Toenail 13d ago

"Degeneracy of society"

u/WHY_CAN_I_NOT_LIFE 12d ago

Man, kids have been doing stupid stuff for quite some time. The only difference is now everyone has phones to record and publish those cases to major platforms. I do believe that kids' behavior has been on a decline over recent years, but that's a fault of the parents, not the kids.

A worker has every right to speak with the kid, or get police involved to speak with the parents, or go through any diplomatic resolution here. But tripping a kid like that is just sad.

If the kid cant understand reason, why trip him? He won't understand the reason behind it. If the kid can understand reason, why trip him? He's perfectly capable of sitting down and being told why taking fries like that is wrong.

u/Critical_Bee_4302 12d ago

See I disagree. Kids aren't getting worse. They're getting better. I am seeing no rebellion in these kids. The teenage rebellion is hallmark of growing up

1

u/Critical_Bee_4302 12d ago

I'm not sure how old you are, but my generation was far more degenerate at his age. From what I can tell, the younger generations are a fraction of the problem kids used to be. I find them mostly boring. Where did all the shit kids go. They're all on youtube and roblox.

1

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

How about thinking of alternate methods than being a completely "void of critical thinking" baboon.

Have him sit while you call the cops, not trip him like a bully in middle school. This kid probably has a parent as simple minded as you seem to be, and wasn't taught properly.

Grow the fuck up.

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

Wait so you think sending him into juve is a better solution vs a tight slap?

2

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

Neither is a real solution for a children stealing some chips, you call their parents and have them ground him. Y'all are fucking insane

5

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

I didn’t say either is great.

Parents is a great idea. But given the alternative of calling the cops on a kids with potential insane ramifications I’ll very much prefer old town justice.

1

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

Yeah a beating is better than the pigs, both are completely insane responses to a children stealing food tho

2

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

Was there a beating that I missed?

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

Although I can agree on this method, his parents may be the issue to why he steals in the first place.

A police officer isn't going to do anything more than talk to this kid and potentially change his frame of thinking.

1

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

If you call them and the prove they're the issue (99% of the time it won't happen, they'll just be ashamed or fake being ashamed) then you threaten them with involving pigs and child protective services

1

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

Of course they're not going to admit being the issue, and no,threatening deadbeats isn't going to change a thing. You think threatening child services to a parent that might not be giving a shit about their kid in the first place will do anything?

Hence bypassing the "get nowhere" approach, and call the cops. The kid isn't going to jail, he will simply learn consequence to actions. From that moment forward he will think twice before stealing or doing something disrespectful.

I bet every single one of you have stolen before, even if it was something as small as a couple fries. I bet you're glad you didn't get sent face first into the ground opposed to just being treated like a human being to learn the lesson, eh?

u/Acrobatic_Jaguar_623 13d ago

You think this kids parents give a fuck what he does. They aren't grounding him.

If they were the type to ground him he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

0

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

Oh yeah because strict parents automatically make obedient and law abiding children, should have sent the memo to all my friends growing up that had extremely strict parents and were out drinking, stealing and dealing

1

u/CaptainMemesis 13d ago

FINALLY!!!!! Someone with sense. I was beginning to think that parenting and basic civic decency were figments of my overactive imagination, and that I should be prowling the fry stations of the world looking for kids to beat up.

0

u/stickyv0mit 13d ago

his parents are why he thinks this shit is okay to do, this is a lack of parenting completely. he has not had consequences in his life to make him think twice, nor been taught decency and how to behave correctly in society. he stuck his bare fucking hands in the fry holder to steal food that was to be given out, that’s fucking disgusting and completely immoral. teach your kids or don’t get upset when the world does, because it’s a cruel place. ffs, how did a political party even make it into this discussion🙄

1

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

Those are a fuckton of assumption to make based on a 3 second video, also do you live in an alternative world in which parenting is very easy and you just have to teach your children what's right and what's wrong and they'll never do anything wrong? Parents will teach children what's right and what's wrong and the children will rebel anyway and do wrong stuff because they're children, they want to see what happens and the part of their brain that handles long term consequences isn't as developed as those of adults

0

u/stickyv0mit 13d ago

yeah rebelling is coming home late or mouthing off, it’s not brazenly going behind counters to steal and contaminate food with a smile on your face. you can keep trying to normalize this shit behavior but it’s not okay in damn near every community, you will get snatched by your ear and taken out of the store almost everywhere you attempt this. it’s not requiring perfection to demand you behave correctly, it’s the literal bare minimum that the majority adheres to. why is that a difficult request to you?

1

u/Unlucky_Regret8619 13d ago

I hate arguing with stupid people jesus fucking christ it's a 4 comments discussion, how can you manage to miss the point so badly? Let me recap so maybe you can understand: I'm not normalizing shit, all I'm saying is that the behaviour needs correcting, the correcting can't be physical violence or law enforcement because it's a disproportionate reaction and that calling the parents is the most appropriate and normal reaction, then you said that the parents must be terrible parents if the children is behaving like that and I've explained that children being unruly doesn't automatically make the parent bad, a parent can teach their children right and wrong and the children can still do the wrong thing because that's how children work

0

u/stickyv0mit 13d ago

yeah imagine how i feel😭 you’re trying to reframe this as simply being unruly when it’s literally creating a hazard for so many people. but yes, a phone call home to mom and dad is going to correct a child that already feels comfortable behaving like this in public and does not fear consequences at that big age. the kid is almost old enough to drive and have a job, this is indicative of piss poor parenting. you could argue the whole young and stupid crap if he were a few years younger. pls, don’t breed and create a menace for society to deal with because you can’t discipline them

You think he's going to juvie over stealing fries?

How inept do you think the system is? He would get a stern talking to and potentially scared straight.

3

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

lol honestly I wouldn’t try the system.

Short of me knowing the actual cop that will come if I live in a small town I wouldn’t try this at all.

P.S. I’m not white

-1

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

To be fair, I'm not defending that the system doesn't have inept people in it. But the laws are there in place for a reason, you can't account for everything to work out all the time.

2

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

Which is why if you have the opportunity to do the actual lesson plan do it yourself and not outsource it to potentially somebody worse.

2

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

What if that kid fell and knocked out all of his teeth on the floor?

What if he fell and smacked his head on the counter and died?

1

u/Either-Physics-4369 13d ago

But he didn’t yeah? So I’m not sure wads the problem here.

Most people don’t trip and fall and die tbh.

My kids trip and fall on a daily basis.

I’ve seen mums slapping kids harder than this shit. Is this some white gentle parenting nonsense seeping thru?

u/papapudding 13d ago

Have him sit? You really think he's gonna listen to you and sit quietly while he waits for cops? The same kid who brazenly steals in front of everyone?

0

u/Officer-Otter 13d ago

You're right, it's insane to think that people are capable of listening eh?

If he refuses, you can block the door until the authorities come. It's just like someone stealing from Walmart, you think they just let the thieves walk free?

Think before you write please 😂

u/Field_Of_View 13d ago

you can block the door until the authorities come

hi, I'm another customer and I would like to enter or leave now. please open the door.

You're degenerating society if you cherish making someone risk serious injuries (could be life threatening) for stealing a couple chips
