Some little f**ker gets what's coming to him, his Dad should be grateful.

If it was a kid from my neighbourhood, you'd definitely smack the runt up. They're all filth round here, smoking, thieving, vandalising, general troublecausing - all this before they even reach the age of 10.

If any of them provoked me in such a way, I'd definitely give 'em a dig. Plus, as Grix said, his face is enough excuse to give him a knuckle pasty!

Some kids just ask for it.

Although...

If it was my kid, I'd make sure the driver paid for what he did - then I'd ship my Son off to the circus for being a disgrace to the Family*


*may not go that far

"Mr Cooper believes Lewis was wrong to throw water bombs at a passing car, but said the resulting attack in a park off Broomfield Road in Swanscombe on 7 May was inexcusable."

Maybe not proper proof of discipline, but a sign that he's got some sort of integrity.
Yeah the kid was stupid and needed to be sorted, but physical violence wasn't necessary and if the damage was as bad as the report made out (although like you said, probably exadurated) that's way out of control.

I mean the kid was stupid, but he's a kid and has things to learn about this world. Needed discipline, yeah, but because of this attack he's gotten sympathy instead.
I can understand why the driver was angry, because it was a dangerous thing to do, but...


... just not the way to go about things...

Right.
But then again, if some guy beat the hell out of my kid I would do the same to him.
For all we know, the kid could just have been having a bit of fun and the driver overreacted or else the kid could be a devious little sh't.
Depends how you look at it.

Plus, you can slip the key between your knuckles and do some real damage :^D


Sure, they guy shouldn't have lost his rag, although to be honest, after some kid threw waterbombs and a brick at my car, endangering my life and others' as well as f***ing up my car, then when I caught him to take him to his parents he started swearing at me and giving me yet more crap, I can imagine I'd be pushed close to knocking the little c*** out too. And I think that you (yes You!) would be too :^)

It doesn't exactly justify the behaviour, but you can't blame someone for acting the way any one of us would at least be stongly tempted to act, when someone else puts him in that situation.


As for the kid, I have no sympathy at all. It looks like he won't get any more punishment after his beating, which frankly is a shame.
The courts should order another beating :^D

doesn't say how old the driver was. might've been a 17 year old who's just passed but doesn't have the life experience to know that you can't get out of cars and smack kids...

The kid is an idiot, but the driver seems a little enraged, you just can't go around beating up kids even if what they've done is completely stupid.

Everyone talks about a possible accident but the driver could have injured the boy even more seriously, and whilst I don't feel much sympthay for that kid what happened to him wasn't right.

True saggy genius.
As was the rest of the post of course.
But this made me choke on my fanta.

That kid's face makes me want to beat him up as it is. Anything more just pushes it past the limit.

I believe that it is my right to smack other people's children, if they are misbehaving or being annoying. Only the other day I took my belt to a nine year old who started coughing loudly whilst in the cinema. He was doing it to annoy so he got what was coming to him. One of his mates put up a stoic effort and actually swung a punch at me, but I flattened him and possibly broke his cheekbone in doing so.

Is just the sort of talk that someone who dislikes kids might use, as for me, smack my DNA carrier about and I'd be coming for you.
