They are having moaning fits about this quote:
Shannon Watts and the rest of the harpies are demanding the resignation of Mr. Cotton. Well first, you guys don’t get to demand squat and specially for stuff said by anybody. If that were the case, Shannon would be in her 30th resignation by now.
And although I am not advocating the use of a cat o’ nine tails on babies, I do believe that the proper application of behavioral modification techniques by via of controlled pain works like a charm in subduing really bad conduct. But we have become such a nation of whiners that kids see through our lack of resolve and get away with all kinds of crap.
Now, if this kid does not have his behavior corrected and soon (and no amounts of time outs will help) he will end up either in a morgue slab or like in the second part of the but with cops beating the everlasting shit out of him.
Of course, a spanked kid who then learns certain conduct is not acceptable does not generate traffic and headlines for Moms Demand Action. Only those who bleed are acceptable, brownie points if the die.
What happened to “It Takes a Village to Raise a kid”?
Apparently the only thing they want from the village is money; not moral standards, not discipline, not censure for inappropriate behavior.
it is sad that too many people watched that happen and didn’t step in to stop it after the first little bit of misbehavior.

Equally sad is this: If those people had stepped in to stop it, they’d be facing assault charges and “civil” lawsuits from whatever “parent” that little hellion has (“civil” in quotes because they’d be trying to sue to punish an appropriate response to decidedly uncivil behavior).
Vandalism and disorderly conduct charges on the hellion; same plus contributing to delinquency on the “parent(s)”.
I’m sure Mr. Cotton is shaking in his boots. I hope they don’t get three grannies to protest him. I’m sure that would be devastating to his resolve.
I was raised with a good health ass woopin’ applied when it was needed. Here I am, approaching 60 and I’ve never been arrested and have never harmed anyone that didn’t a) start it first or b) really need it.
Back during my 1st marriage, in the early 80’s, one of our nephews was having a birthday. I told him I was going to give him a ass woopin’. His immediate response was that if I did, he would call the cops. They started all this crap back in the 70’s. Can’t spank your precious little snowflake. We are reaping what we sowed.
The reason why my nephews “hated me” is that I used pressure points. Painful but no much and leave no mark.
But they did not require much convincing anyway. Good kids all, married and with kids of their own.
Dr. Spock (not the Vulcan) has much to answer for.
“Boy you hit me wid’ dat you gon’ lose yo life.”
And the kid rethinks his decision to assault the camera man.
