Haha nah I'm a dude. Although, according to many of you I have a gaping vagina for not wanting to fight =) I won't know til I have a kid, correct, but we have parents arguing for both sides. It's all an opinion, different perspectives. I probably would have wanted to fuck that guy up, but all I'm saying is circumstances probably would not have allowed it. I never threw out the neanderthal argument, but I do think it would be a bad example to set for your child, I will agree with that.
no? I never claimed to be a tough guy, I said I hate fighting. Sometimes it's necessary though. And hell no I'm not going to try and fight a bunch of guys by myself. Like I already said, without knowing the details of the situation it's hard to say what the right decision was. My issue was with you acting like you're above everyone that would defend themselves with violence by calling them neanderthals. That said, I probably wouldn't think about the other guys if my child were tackled by an adult. I'd go into rage mode and attack.
And made sure he never tackled an 8 year old again. Its not an ego thing. I don't know what it would be. It would be an automatic reaction with little time to debate my own masculinity. It would have been "that dude just tackled my son....time to die" I'm sick of all this new-age "be happy" bullshit. 2 Wrongs do not make a right, but according to human law, 1 wrong deserves punishment.
Some guy put his hand out and my son ran into it at the playground and I was in his face in a nanosecond. Had it not been a playground he might have gotten more than an ass tearing.
If you're so much of a bitch to let some random stranger throw your 8 year old kid to the ground without doing anything to protect your family then you're a pussy. Plain and simple. I'll gladly take the beating of my life to make sure no one ever puts their hands on my kid.
Yes, that's her. Very similar names, nothing personal PJ4. To me the important thing is what image do you leave your kid with? Never mind the guy, you never see him again, I'm not worried about teaching him anything. Like someone said, you want you kid to know you'd protect him, not let some drunk throw him down and not do anything about it. If there's a crowd there you deal with that, I have enough faith in humanity in general that I'd stick up for my kid and think enough people can see what's going on, regardless of what color shirt they have on. And if they don't they don't, but you have to teach your kid to defend himself, sometimes by example if it's vs an adult.
Always sucks to hear something like this. Things like Bottlegate are funny until someone actually gets hurt. It's even worse when it's a kid. It just takes one person to give a whole group a bad reputation.
If he had fought... it would have been a MOB SCENE since most people would not have seen the guy pushing the kid down and would only see a Jet's fan fighting a Brown's fan... he would have been beat to a pulp in front of his kid. So as of now, the kid had a bad experience at a football game. Other scenario? Kid has nightmares every night about his Dad as a bloody mess and getting the crap kicked out of him. What kind of parent would want their kid to have to live with that image?
....or dead. And now your kid's an orphan being raised by mom's new boyfriend. the situation dictates my reaction.
No it wouldn't. It's basic. Years ago, when I wa stationed in El Toro Calif. Bunch of us went to an Angels game, when they were playing the O's. (one of the guys was an O's fan) On the way out, some @$$#ole reached in and smacked a guy in the car. He got beat down in front of 35 odd thousand fellow Angels fan on the spot. Not once, but twice. Not a person stopped to intevene. Once the first guy get his ass beat, most people figure it's not worth the chance to intervene. You have to make it severe, and quick. Check out the fight at the Vagiants game last week.
It's no wonder you guys got kicked off this continent, and then wound up this close '' to speaking German a couple hundred years later.
