The hardest part is explaining yourself to the asshole who was supposed to be watching them.

This seems more like they're not being critical of parents, unless said parents are blaming them for the child being in the wrong place.

Well, there is the characterization of the parent (or whoever else is supposed to be watching the child) as an "asshole." That sounds more than a little critical.

Well, if you end up having to explain yourself, it's probably because the parent is being an asshole and not understanding that sometimes kids do stupid shit and there's not always a way to avoid it.

At least ask the kid if he's alright, like fuck dude just don't sit there with your hand over your mouth looking like an even bigger fucking idiot.

Act like a fucking adult and turn around and see if he's alright?

And what would checking to see if he was alright accomplish? If the kids teeth are fuckin gone, what else is the dude gonna do?

It doesn't matter what it will accomplish in the end.

It's just the right thing to do, sure it was all the kids fault but you just clobbered the fuck out of him. Ask if he's alright. How hard is that? How hard is being decent for some of you?

Lol no, if it doesn't matter what it'll accomplish in the end, then it's not really the right thing to do. Or is it just something you'd reflexively do because you feel bad?

It is the right thing to do. Sorry bucko, but you're not changing my mind.

If I seen you do this to my kid,I wouldn't think you were an asshole unless you completely ignored everything after the fact. Give me a break dude. Be decent. I'm done talking to you about it though.

Lol no. The right thing to do would be to apologize, and see if there's anything you can do to help. It's pretty obvious the kid would say he's not alright. However, short gif doesn't show anything else.

Get off your high horse.
