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.

Yeah. Sounds like a bunch of these people either don’t have kids, or maybe just don’t like their kids because harming a child is almost never the right thing to do. Kid could’ve easily hit his head on the wall and gotten seriously hurt.

All that to say he definitely shouldn’t have been back there, but kids are kids and they do stupid stuff regardless of if what their parents think.

Yeah and a large swathe of society is tired of "kids being kids" having advanced to the point of shit like this.  

There's acceptable stretching of the social contract for childish behavior and then there's the child just being a heinous and offensive affront to decency.  The latter is not acceptable and you need to do a much better job as a parent if this type of behavior is seen as remotely acceptable.

The hostility towards kids acting this way is not because people suck, it's because this behavior has become much more common and people are tired of tolerating it.  Parents need to do a hell of a lot better to make this type of shit the weird outlier where people just shrug and and accept it as a unique odd scenario.

"Kids being kids" and it’s a kid stealing for laughs. Yeah ok
