White man slaps screaming black kid - No injury - Gets 8 months in prison

[norwegen]

When I was a toddler, the old guy next door kept chasing me with a pocket knife, threatening to cut my ears off. I was also spanked once by a babysitter.

I turned out sort of okay.

 

[Gracie]

Like me, I think Boop is empathizing with the guy. Should he have slapped a 19 month old child? Hell no!
BUT, having been pretty damned close to the emotional state the man was in at the time, for the same reason, I sure as hell understand why he did.

As I said before, my reaction would have been to slap the mother if she couldn't or wouldn't control her kid.

Agreed. But I would have asked to be seated elsewhere as soon as he called my baby a name, BEFORE he got violent.

Just out of curiosity, if a small child was crying on a plane and their mother couldn't calm them down because, let's say in this hypothetical that the child was experiencing ear pain, are you saying that you would slap a stranger rather than ask a steward to be moved to a different seat?

I'd threaten to take the kid's pain away with a pocket knife.

Ok. I gotta ask. I read and reread and I get what you are saying about the baby part. What I DON'T get is this:

Seriously? Yeah, because that's so like me, right? Fucking liberals.

It is NOTHING like me Gracie - but I'm a liberal so of course you can believe the absolute fucking worst of me.

What is so like you? Where did I say anything even remotely a diss at you or believe "the worst" about you? Who is a fucking liberal? You? Me? What is this about???

Over and over you stated that you thought I was making excuses for the guy. Like I was actually okay with him striking a toddler.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Thank you.

Drunk on an airplane, calls a baby a ******, slaps the baby in the face...

Get him a few more babies to smack!

Keep flaming, it's such an attractive look.

Sorry Boop but no matter what angle I look at this from that man's reaction is completely unacceptable.

I know he was in a bad place but as a guy with a girlfriend who wants to have kids in the next few years I would feel completely justified in trying to knock that guy out if it was my baby involved in the situation. And I'd want the worst consequence for him that was possible. He's attacking my family.

Yeah - I no longer give a shit what you think.

 

[Ernie S.]

Well, gee Gracie. When you put it like that, losing your child almost seems like no big deal.

Losing a child is a big deal, but people shouldn't lose sight of civility because they are going through a difficult time. The child was not the cause of him losing his child, neither was the mother....if he was in such distress that a crying child would upset him to that point of "slapping him" - he should have talked to a flight attendant, informed them of his situation and I'm sure they would have moved him to where he wouldn't be that close to the child.

I know I wouldn't stand for someone slapping my child because he/she was crying....if I had been the mother on that plane, they probably would have arrested me because I would have been all over that dude.

Another person who has no idea what it's like to be in the man's position. I'll tell you from experience that it never occurred to the man that changing seats was an option; no idea that anyone at all could possible empathize with him; no idea that anyone at all could possibly help.

I sincerely hope you never do have to walk a mile in this man's shoes.

Really. Over and over, eh? Show me where I was targeting you.
And that does not answer my question. What is this liberal stuff? What is this "believe the worst about you" stuff? Since when have I EVER believed anything bad about you???

But it's understandable to call a baby a ****** and then slap it because HIS child was dead. And he was drunk. That baby didn't kill his child. That baby was a baby. Would YOU smack a baby, call it a ******, if your child just died, Ernie? Oh hell no. This much I know about you.

[Ernie S.]

Okay Boop,

I know my joke there may have been in bad taste...

But slapping a baby? You're going to give that man some leniency over calling a baby the n word and slapping it?

There's absolutely ZERO scenario's where I could picture myself doing that in my lifetime. I don't know what else to say.

You have not lost a child, have you?

Then you can't put yourself i this man's shoes.

I can. I admire his restraint.

Slapping a baby.

Does he deserve sympathy for his child? Absolutely.

Should he have slapped a baby?

Are you guys fucking kidding me???

What if it was your kid? Would you say, "Oh well my baby was being annoying. And that guy was in distress. He can go ahead and throw a racial slur at my baby and slap him in the face. That's perfectly reasonable."

Is this really happening? Are you all really defending this???

I don't excuse his actions. I empathize with him. I understand as only the father who has lost a child under similar circumstances can.

I'm sorry. You just don't, and can't understand.

 

[BDBoop]

WHOA! Turns out the baby slapping racist is a muslim!!!! Didn't see that coming!

I know there's probably something wrong with my perceptions, here. but the fact that he was going to take his child off life support ... I have a tough time feeling like that shouldn't be included in the equation at all.

Okay Boop,

Losing my child doesn't give me the right to slap a baby, Boop. Punch a seat? Tell the mother to please walk up the aisle for a few, maybe tell her why you are upset...but slapping her BABY? Sorry...he gets no leeway from me.

Well, gee Gracie. When you put it like that, losing your child almost seems like no big deal.

I know what it feels like to lose a child. But I damn sure wouldn't bitchslap someone elses BABY.

What. The FUCK. Where on earth did you get the leap from maybe seeing a connection to he gets a fucking pass.

Seriously? Yeah, because that's so like me, right? Fucking liberals.

Yeah.

You said whatever you said and it looked like you were giving this grieving father a pass for his actions. Did I read it wrong?
Because what is so like you? You are right. WTF??? And now I am a liberal??

I REFUSE...REFUSE to let a stupid thread started by a tard to ruin a friendship.

Over and out.

So..his kid is dying or dead and must come off life support, so he smacks a baby.

I would have punched him in the nose, handed my kid to another passenger, then commenced to beat the ever living shit out of him with anything and everything at my disposal.

I have lost a child, Grace. Had you punched me in that situation, you would not have survived the flight.

And if you punched my child, you wouldn't have either.
I agree he was in pain (the man) and wasn't thinking right. But still...I cringe at thinking of him striking that baby.

I don't know what the hell is going on with Boop, but like Old School..maybe I missed something. Right now..I am gobsmacked at the attack and insinuation that I think she is...whatever it is she thinks I think. Just....gobsmacked.

Ok. I gotta ask. I read and reread and I get what you are saying about the baby part. What I DON'T get is this:

Everything in bold and red is you making like I said something along the lines of "He was taking his kid off life support, of COURSE it was logical he'd strike a toddler."

 

[Gracie]

Ok Ernie. No..I don't understand but I will leave it at that.

Edited because you answered. Sort of. And you are wrong about my intent or thoughts.

Well, I certainly hope that I don't meet him when he gets out. If he is having a bad day, and I am with my daughter, and lays a hand on her, I would have to hurt him very badly....

But, I would try to moderate my actions by keeping in mind that he is just drunk on an airplane as a result of taking his kid off of life support. I mean, who wouldn't be, right?

So would I. I have 3 children left. I'm not applauding the man's actions at all.

Nor am I.

Silly me, thinking that would be fucking obvious.
