The kid was going to throw a dead snake into the car as a TikTok prank. The man is the husband of the woman in the car. The man’s children were also in there.
I agree. While the guy definitely was a bit... Aggressive, it's good for the kid to learn now instead of later with a more harmful prank and a more aggressive guy after him
I mean, the kid wasn't seriously hurt and after a roughing up like this he just might think twice before doing something stupid in the future.
Tough lessons in life stick the most. Gentle consequences might not always do it.
I saw a comment in another sub that this was posted in that said "Other people are not your content" and I think it perfectly describes a-holes like this kid.
I mean if the adult guy had done anything more I’d want to see him arrested. But as soon as the kid was away from his family with whatever was in the kids hand, and he broke his phone, he did back off
Regardless of the snake, The kids were surrounding his wife with his children inside talking trash to her, forget throwing a snake near her. Violence is wrong, but in the moment 99% of fathers wouldn’t let the kid on the ground screaming like a woman stop them from taking action. This man is a saint.
When I hear the word violence, I link that to aggression. I don't know if I'm alone on that. But I see this as entirely defensive. Your honor, I move to strike the word "violence" from the record entirely.
Correction: Violence is wrong when there are reasonable alternatives.
Nobody knew the snake was dead, and he wanted to protect his wife and children. He could have pleaded with the child, sure, but have you ever tried pleading or arguing with a 12 year old?
I don't think there were reasonable alternatives to violence, here, and he stopped when the child was no longer a threat.
...that being said, there's also no actual evidence of a snake and the kid denies it. So this entire story is probably bullshit all around.
The guy was arrested, the kid’s parents are playing the victim card. They are saying he was taking a video of the man’s wife because she was taping him first
there’s no actual evidence of a snake being thrown. you can’t see one in the video and the kid denies it. the reddit outrage train will instantly believe it and vilify the kid, but we don’t know what actually happened. also worth noting the child literally turned away and began fleeing before the man pushed him, and was 12 years old.
Reading other articles and reports. It sounded like kids were known in that area to play chicken with cars while on bicycles and pull pranks regularly. The neighbor across the street claims to have seen them try to throw a snake in the car. Those accounts plus how the kid is acting at the start of the video would lead you to believe they are guilty, but based solely on the video I couldn't tell you who is doing what.
I think it’s obvious that the man was trying to save the kid’s life and keep him from being hit by this speeding car. A simple “thank you” would be appropriate.
I would 100% fight a 12 year old on your daughters behalf also. Not because I care but it would be an excuse to beat up a 12 year old. Have you ever met a 12 year old boy, they all need a little head smack and as someone who can't really fight it would be an easy win. I could tell the story for the rest of my life and leave out the fact that he was only 12.
From the news article quoted above:
“According to neighbor Michael Shain, who lives across the street from where the incident happened, the kids were allegedly trying to throw a dead snake into the woman's car with her two kids inside.
'There's video of these kids running around with their bikes, stopping cars, getting in front of cars where they almost basically force you to hit them,' he said. 'These kid are not innocent by any means. They started it, and unfortunately, the father went to protect his wife and two small kids.”
You haven’t read the article from the local paper about this incident. These kids are known for terrorizing the people of the neighborhood and have had the cops called on them numerous times, which explains why the woman would be filming them. They do things like swerving in traffic, surrounding cars with their bikes and taking video of the frustrated occupants. Bet keep acting like you can do whatever you want in this world with no repercussions. Guaranteed, you’re the same type of parent, making excuses for your failure of an ability to properly parents just like this kids parents are doing.
Read the local papers article and then comment, you literally did what you accused redditors of doing. Talking with no evidence.
If you sense something dangerous is happening to your spouse or otherwise harassing them then fight or flight instincts kick in. Doesn’t matter how old the culprit is. You put a stop to it. Also not like the man attacked the kid after he defended his family. He helps the kid up after all.
So do we not hold people accountable anymore? Not like he will develop into an adult right?
I mean what about when a 6 year says I will kill you, then brings a weapon and kills you the next day? We not treating things as credible
I bet that kid will likely be somewhat more conscious about how interacts with other humans and respect his environment
What I got from the article: "Anderson suffered a head injury during the incident and has a cast on his arm and bandages around his ankle."
& he was saying to the woman: "pedophile, you like recording children?" Not verbatim but something like that.
Saying that the woman was recording them & following him.
But don't get that close with the phone.
Record & zoom in from far lol
That was way too close for comfort.
Assuming the context is correct, I 100% agree with what he did. If someone assaults my wife/kids, that person is a threat, and I'm going to remove the threat as quickly as possible, which is exactly what happened here.
He didn't punch the kid, kick him, beat him, he simply removed him from the area as fast as possible, which is the exactly correct legally justified response.
Two versions of the story in a 2-minute video.

A second with a 45 second video.

Naturally, the articles are even more informative.
One article is a one-sided story from the kids father who wasn't there, the other article interviewed the neighbors and everyone involved. I wonder which is more accurate 🤔.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849251/amp/The-shocking-moment-man-shoves-boy-12-ground-catches-kid-recording-wife.html
Not that this has the rest of the story, but it does have enough time prior to the shove to get more context, like specifically the attitude of the kids just prior, like talking some real "adult" concepts, using vulgar language etc.
This seems to be deliberately cut from the original post video source, as is makes this look more one sided
I saw this on twitter yesterday. if I had done this as a child, Reddit would not be able to show the footage of what happened to me when I got home to my parents. and while I personally don’t believe in corporal punishment, if this was my kid, and this happened to him, I’d ground him, replace his iPhone with a cricket mobile, and look him in the face and say “you deserved that. I don’t hit you but some people in life will. today you learned your lesson. don’t screw with people.”
edit: the thing about cricket was misworded. I meant to imply the broken cell phone which had a video camera would be replaced with a very basic cell phone with no camera to prevent tiktok pranking in the future. I was thinking of one cricket phone for kids I had seen advertised in the past.
Yup, better open a lemonade stand or something, because you are paying for the consequences of your actions. You won’t be seeing TikTok for a while now :)
Damn, I’m gonna be a dad soon and I’m gonna steal your line. I won’t hit you, but other people will…just know that line will probably be the “thing dad used to say” when my kid hopefully passes it onto theirs. Thank you internet stranger
if a kid did this to me and then began running away as I approached, like he does in this video, I would… maybe yell at him a bit? tell him to go away? what I wouldn’t do is assault a fleeing child because 1) he’s a child and I’m a grown adult and he is already fleeing and 2) I would get charged for this and put my family through that. boggles my mind that so many people on here support the man for doing this
I mean that makes sense right? Scrapes and bruises heal easier than a cracked $800 phone haha if you wrecked your bike as a kid and it got fucked up wouldn't you be more upset about the bike then the cut on your knee?
You know I’ll give it to you it’s true my toys were worth more than my soul as a child lol 😂 I was poor and most of them came from my grandpa and grandma so I guarded them with my life.
Look, if someone is attempting to throw a snake into a vehicle with my family in it, I'm going to assume that A) it's a live snake, and B) it's potentially venomous. In a legal sense, that would be assault with a deadly weapon by that kid. Kid is lucky this didn't turn out worse for him.
Right? The kid will say “it was just a prank,” but the actual prank is the reaction of people who *think* it’s real.
You can’t throw a fake/dead snake in a car to laugh at the people who thought it was real, only to then get upset when the husband actually thinks it’s real.
God I hate this prank video trend.
Exactly. Its why if you point a fake/toy gun at someone, and they blow you away because they reasonably believed it was a real weapon, the law is on their side.
I mean, if it's a dead snake, it's still a dead fucking animal. That's still a real issue.
It's like saying "I'm not racist, but I hate Formula 1." Yeah, you kinda hate races; or at least one race, regardless of you prefacing the statement with that attempted qualifier.
Honestly at this point they are basically untouchable. It seems that the whole country automatcially defends kids no matter how horrible the are. With the exception of kids killing others or hurting other kids.
Exactly.
This is absolutely unjustifiable if it's to keep someone from recording.
A potentially lethal response (which this was) would be legally justifiable if the man in the video thought the kid could be presenting a potentially lethal danger, like throwing a ~~poisonous~~ *venomous* snake in the car.
[Here you go](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849251/amp/The-shocking-moment-man-shoves-boy-12-ground-catches-kid-recording-wife.html).
This is such garbage reporting that leaves out some critical context. Dude might have been a little heavy-handed, but those little hoodlums were far from innocent.
>neighbors told News 12 that the teens circled Conte's wife's car and were taunting her while her two young children were also in the car.
>Neighbor Michael Shain says the teens threw a snake at the woman in the car. Shain says when Conte heard his wife beeping the horn and screaming for help, he rushed over.
The father of the kid wasn’t there during the incident to corroborate anything. He’s just crying victim and all we see on Reddit is a “kid” being tackled… anywho.
That’s why nothing ever came of this court case. It was utter rubbish.
Maybe father of prankster realized (or was counseled by a lawyer or Real Adult) that he was liable for his dumb kid’s actions. No one being menaced or harassed is responsible for the attackers’ broken stuff.
I didn't read about what happened with the case, but I'm glad the man in the video didnt receive any punishment. As a husband and dad myself I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.
My dad moved faster than he’d moved in years to deck a man he thought was about to hit my little brother (who was around 18 at the time), so can confirm this is the standard reaction. It was really bad for the guy who almost hit my brother because both brother and dad were umpiring a high school baseball game the guy’s son was playing in and the police came and took him away for attempted assault on an umpire. Can’t fix stupid.
So is the push where it ended or did he smack him some more. First as a father, the instinct if some douche was acting wild around my wife and kids hes getting rocked. However seeing it was a 12 yr old douche, i would have picked him up and threw him on the grass or just chased him away. Kid trying to act funny for Tik Tok and met real life consequences. Learn your lesson and carry on boy.
I knew someone whose elementary-school kid was getting mugged for his lunch money everyday by a much older kid. When they guy found out, he knocked on the kids door, and when the kids father opened it, he punched him dead in the face and flattened him. Then he let the guy know why and next time it wouldn't stop with one punch.
Strangely, the problem stopped after that.
The man pushing the kid forgot to yell, “It’s just a prank, bro!” Because that’s how you get away with it. Right?
As someone said in another post with this video, “Other people are not your content”
People need to be reminded what these little pricks were actually doing.
**From the news article quoted above:**
**“According to neighbor Michael Shain, who lives across the street from where the incident happened, the kids were allegedly trying to throw a dead snake into the woman's car with her two kids inside.**
**'There's video of these kids running around with their bikes, stopping cars, getting in front of cars where they almost basically force you to hit them,' he said. 'These kid are not innocent by any means. They started it, and unfortunately, the father went to protect his wife and two small kids.”**
I feel like a lot of these “pranksters” need to recognize that their behavior can considered assault and/or battery. When a protective spouse/parent catches you f’ing with their family, be prepared for some painful consequences.
I think I’m gonna start a YouTube channel with pranks gone wrong. :)
While its nice to see these prank backfire & these a-holes prankers get their due, unfortunately it's the prankee who will get in trouble for putting hands on.
Accountability is a myth taught to people who think they are more than just a number. The more time I spend on Reddit, the more I see people defending criminals and mischievance. "They are a product of their environment" only goes so far when the majority of people in that same environment follow the rules (or at least it should).
I'll try to find it, but this was posted in another sub, and the kids allegedly weren't doing a prank, they were supposedly filming this woman because she was filming them first, and the guy was arrested.
Edit: OK, who knows what to believe, but here's a link.:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849251/amp/The-shocking-moment-man-shoves-boy-12-ground-catches-kid-recording-wife.html
Lol he could have stalked and harassed that kid for months and made his life hell without any issues. Push him to the ground once jail time....the justice system
Well, your honor, I got a text from my wife saying she was surrounded and trapped in the street. I went outside and saw several young men surrounding my wife’s car. The one closest to the car had what l mistook for a firearm. So, I acted to protect my family from what I thought was a deadly situation. I’m just glad I realized it was a phone after I pushed him. It could have been much worse.

He threw it on the hood of the car not in the car. Not in the car...
That’s a drastic difference haha, I still have very little sympathy for the kid though, sometimes you need to learn life isn’t a TikTok video
I agree. While the guy definitely was a bit... Aggressive, it's good for the kid to learn now instead of later with a more harmful prank and a more aggressive guy after him
I mean, the kid wasn't seriously hurt and after a roughing up like this he just might think twice before doing something stupid in the future. Tough lessons in life stick the most. Gentle consequences might not always do it.
Yeah, don’t mess with someone’s kids. They’ll smile in their mugshot.
I saw a comment in another sub that this was posted in that said "Other people are not your content" and I think it perfectly describes a-holes like this kid.
I mean if the adult guy had done anything more I’d want to see him arrested. But as soon as the kid was away from his family with whatever was in the kids hand, and he broke his phone, he did back off
It don't matter
I mean, a snake a top of your car is 100x better than a snake inside your car
I'm just thankful it wasn't on the damn plane.
aint that the mother fucking truth.
Yeah I'm sick and tired of them
Tired of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday through Friday plane?
Or in your boots
Personally I'm more concerned about someone poisoning the water hole.
"someone put a snake in my boot hole!"
We found Woody’s account.
>I'm just thankful it wasn't on the damn plane. [https://youtu.be/ubLRB7tb78Q](https://youtu.be/ubLRB7tb78Q)
And still 100x worse than having no snake
This is very true!
I don’t think it’s a 100x worse

Indiana Jones agrees
Yeah I don’t blame the guy, kids being stupid and got pushed
Right he says it like it’s not a big deal Lmfao
It's gonna matter when this dude is in court
also no one other than the kid knew the snake was dead. that's kind of important.
Regardless of the snake, The kids were surrounding his wife with his children inside talking trash to her, forget throwing a snake near her. Violence is wrong, but in the moment 99% of fathers wouldn’t let the kid on the ground screaming like a woman stop them from taking action. This man is a saint.
The scream the kid makes after his cell phone is smashed to bits is music to my ears!
I bought my kids new cell phones, just to smash them and hear them scream.
Is that what it was? I thought that second sound was the guy hitting the kid.
When I hear the word violence, I link that to aggression. I don't know if I'm alone on that. But I see this as entirely defensive. Your honor, I move to strike the word "violence" from the record entirely.
Violence can be defensive, too
I read this in Kratos’ voice. “Violence can be defensive, boy.”

The kids in the neighborhood were also known to harass, film and surround cars taunting them. Kid got what he deserved

The guy was arrested, the kid’s parents are playing the victim card. They are saying he was taking a video of the man’s wife because she was taping him first
Ohh yeah, the regular - *Pull the prank and play the victim card*
Reminds me of the kid who was throwing rocks at cars…proceeded to punch a dude in his forties…get pushed down, then try to sue the guy
Love that video. I always dreamed about grabbing that kid by the feet and dragging him slowly into that nearby marsh.
there’s no actual evidence of a snake being thrown. you can’t see one in the video and the kid denies it. the reddit outrage train will instantly believe it and vilify the kid, but we don’t know what actually happened. also worth noting the child literally turned away and began fleeing before the man pushed him, and was 12 years old.

I will 100% fight a twelve-year-old on my daughter's behalf. No one messes with daddy's princess.
I would 100% fight a 12 year old on your daughters behalf also. Not because I care but it would be an excuse to beat up a 12 year old. Have you ever met a 12 year old boy, they all need a little head smack and as someone who can't really fight it would be an easy win. I could tell the story for the rest of my life and leave out the fact that he was only 12.
I remember how shitty I was at 12. If I saw me, I'd kick my own ass.
There was a sniper aiming at the kids head, and this guy saved the kids life by pushing him out of the way. A simple "thank you" would be appropriate.
He should be getting a reward!
Damn bro, you working on that PhD in Journalism???

There's video that proves they're little shits...that no one ever sees whenever this gets reposted.
You haven’t read the article from the local paper about this incident.

So do we not hold people accountable anymore? Not like he will develop into an adult right? I mean what about when a 6 year says I will kill you, then brings a weapon and kills you the next day? We not treating things as credible I bet that kid will likely be somewhat more conscious about how interacts with other humans and respect his environment
Could be just me, but there is something snake*like* on the ground outside the driver's door.
Kids are trash around that age. Assume they are doing the worst.
Played* - this happened like 5 yrs ago
Good, that means he is almost 18 and can now face real consequences
Beat that kid's parents' ass, too.
“Were there ANY repercussions for the child’s actions?” Besides being tackled by a grown adult? Lol
Yes. He got tackled to the ground and his phone destroyed.
His scream as the phone was shattering was 🤌🏼
I think the football tackle was a pretty good repercussion
As far as legal consequences, not that I’m aware of.
What I got from the article: "Anderson suffered a head injury during the incident and has a cast on his arm and bandages around his ankle." & he was saying to the woman: "pedophile, you like recording children?" Not verbatim but something like that. Saying that the woman was recording them & following him. But don't get that close with the phone. Record & zoom in from far lol That was way too close for comfort.
The man's actions seem suddenly way more justified...
Moral of the story: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I hope he is exonerated. These pranksters are utter bitches when anything happens to them.
It’s not a prank to threaten to potentially harm someone. Hopefully the dads charges are dropped and the kid is charged instead.
Going to have to paraphrase Chris Rock: I’m not saying I agree with what he did. But I understand.
Assuming the context is correct, I 100% agree with what he did. If someone assaults my wife/kids, that person is a threat, and I'm going to remove the threat as quickly as possible, which is exactly what happened here. He didn't punch the kid, kick him, beat him, he simply removed him from the area as fast as possible, which is the exactly correct legally justified response.
Totally agree with you on this!

Sounds like that kids father is an enabler.

correction... he replaces his own phone with a cricket mobile...
He pays you back after you replace his phone with a cricket mobile (phones are good to have for safety reasons)
He should pay for the iphone he misused as well.
cricketmobile
Yup, better open a lemonade stand or something, because you are paying for the consequences of your actions. You won’t be seeing TikTok for a while now :)
Yeah I agree 100%. I’m not for hitting children either but honestly, sometimes it gets the point across that other ways do not.
Plus, that's just dad instinct to protect his wife and kids. There isn't much "holding back" when your love one could be in danger.
Damn, I’m gonna be a dad soon and I’m gonna steal your line. I won’t hit you, but other people will…just know that line will probably be the “thing dad used to say” when my kid hopefully passes it onto theirs. Thank you internet stranger
if a kid did this to me and then began running away as I approached, like he does in this video, I would… maybe yell at him a bit? tell him to go away? what I wouldn’t do is assault a fleeing child because 1) he’s a child and I’m a grown adult and he is already fleeing and 2) I would get charged for this and put my family through that. boggles my mind that so many people on here support the man for doing this

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
Or they're always gonna keep you down.
Or they're pissing the night away.
THAT’S the lyric??? I thought it was “drinking”…
Well, I think that’s what it means. The lyric is “pissing” though
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough to know
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
if you're fat you bounce pretty good
Was it just me or the kid truly start crying when the phone got tossed lol 😂
Lol yeah, little turd was worried more about his phone being ruined, than getting laid out. Definitely an iPad kid
I mean that makes sense right? Scrapes and bruises heal easier than a cracked $800 phone haha if you wrecked your bike as a kid and it got fucked up wouldn't you be more upset about the bike then the cut on your knee?
You know I’ll give it to you it’s true my toys were worth more than my soul as a child lol 😂 I was poor and most of them came from my grandpa and grandma so I guarded them with my life.
That's how I feel
People should stop having kids man
[удалено]
That shriek was beautiful
He shoulda shrieked "it's a prank Bro!" then you're exempt from all fault by law
Look, if someone is attempting to throw a snake into a vehicle with my family in it, I'm going to assume that A) it's a live snake, and B) it's potentially venomous. In a legal sense, that would be assault with a deadly weapon by that kid. Kid is lucky this didn't turn out worse for him.
Right? The kid will say “it was just a prank,” but the actual prank is the reaction of people who *think* it’s real. You can’t throw a fake/dead snake in a car to laugh at the people who thought it was real, only to then get upset when the husband actually thinks it’s real. God I hate this prank video trend.
I’m assuming that it would be like yelling fire in a movie theater and then saying that it was just a prank
This is more like someone walking into a theater and pretending to start the fire themselves.
Exactly. Its why if you point a fake/toy gun at someone, and they blow you away because they reasonably believed it was a real weapon, the law is on their side.
I mean, if it's a dead snake, it's still a dead fucking animal. That's still a real issue. It's like saying "I'm not racist, but I hate Formula 1." Yeah, you kinda hate races; or at least one race, regardless of you prefacing the statement with that attempted qualifier.
Coherent in the first half, not gonna lie.
A dead venomous snake is still venomous too
A dead venomous snake is still a dead animal I don't want thrown at my family regardless of how funny the kid might think it is.
onto* (that's what I heard)
Little prick

The people saying “ oh it’s just a dead snake” you don’t know that till it’s to late. Like a toy gun vs a real gun
I really don't want a *dead* snake thrown at my family either.
Honestly at this point they are basically untouchable. It seems that the whole country automatcially defends kids no matter how horrible the are. With the exception of kids killing others or hurting other kids.

Gutless news agency that can't risk siding with someone who is legally wrong while socially approved
I feel like threatening to throw a snake in someone’s car with kids would make this legally justified…
Looks like that guy might have saved a kid from a potential snake bite
Exactly. This is absolutely unjustifiable if it's to keep someone from recording. A potentially lethal response (which this was) would be legally justifiable if the man in the video thought the kid could be presenting a potentially lethal danger, like throwing a ~~poisonous~~ *venomous* snake in the car.
First watch I was like ‘was it a fake gun or something?’
Do y’all have a link to the story?
[Here you go](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849251/amp/The-shocking-moment-man-shoves-boy-12-ground-catches-kid-recording-wife.html). This is such garbage reporting that leaves out some critical context. Dude might have been a little heavy-handed, but those little hoodlums were far from innocent.
Tbf, garbage reporting is all the Daily Mail really knows how to do.
Leave ppl alone?
That doesn't get tiktok views.
Then thats why pranksters get what they get
They don't though. In this case, the man was arrested and the shitty parents sued him.
Lame
>neighbors told News 12 that the teens circled Conte's wife's car and were taunting her while her two young children were also in the car. >Neighbor Michael Shain says the teens threw a snake at the woman in the car. Shain says when Conte heard his wife beeping the horn and screaming for help, he rushed over. The father of the kid wasn’t there during the incident to corroborate anything. He’s just crying victim and all we see on Reddit is a “kid” being tackled… anywho. That’s why nothing ever came of this court case. It was utter rubbish.
Maybe father of prankster realized (or was counseled by a lawyer or Real Adult) that he was liable for his dumb kid’s actions. No one being menaced or harassed is responsible for the attackers’ broken stuff.
I didn't read about what happened with the case, but I'm glad the man in the video didnt receive any punishment. As a husband and dad myself I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.
My dad moved faster than he’d moved in years to deck a man he thought was about to hit my little brother (who was around 18 at the time), so can confirm this is the standard reaction. It was really bad for the guy who almost hit my brother because both brother and dad were umpiring a high school baseball game the guy’s son was playing in and the police came and took him away for attempted assault on an umpire. Can’t fix stupid.
So is the push where it ended or did he smack him some more. First as a father, the instinct if some douche was acting wild around my wife and kids hes getting rocked. However seeing it was a 12 yr old douche, i would have picked him up and threw him on the grass or just chased him away. Kid trying to act funny for Tik Tok and met real life consequences. Learn your lesson and carry on boy.
I knew someone whose elementary-school kid was getting mugged for his lunch money everyday by a much older kid. When they guy found out, he knocked on the kids door, and when the kids father opened it, he punched him dead in the face and flattened him. Then he let the guy know why and next time it wouldn't stop with one punch. Strangely, the problem stopped after that.
Read that as "the kid answered" not "the kids father" I was a little bit concerned at first lol.
Would have been fine with that too...
I would assume the push is where it ended... You can actually see the guy help the kid get back on his feet shortly after pushing him.
I mean, you have to help him back up to push him back down again.
The man pushing the kid forgot to yell, “It’s just a prank, bro!” Because that’s how you get away with it. Right? As someone said in another post with this video, “Other people are not your content”
These teenage "children" need to start having repercussions.
Not to deny your point, but the kid wasn't a teenager yet
12 year olds also need repercussions
FAFO …
"suffered a head injury during the incident and has a cast on his arm and bandages around his ankle"
[удалено]
Good. Now he’ll remember it next time he wants to be stupid.
This kid needs to learn an age old axiom: Stupid should hurt.
People need to be reminded what these little pricks were actually doing. **From the news article quoted above:** **“According to neighbor Michael Shain, who lives across the street from where the incident happened, the kids were allegedly trying to throw a dead snake into the woman's car with her two kids inside.** **'There's video of these kids running around with their bikes, stopping cars, getting in front of cars where they almost basically force you to hit them,' he said. 'These kid are not innocent by any means. They started it, and unfortunately, the father went to protect his wife and two small kids.”**
> and unfortunately, the father went to protect his wife and two small kids.” ..."unfortunately"???
He seemed to be more distraught when the dude went to break his phone…
I feel like a lot of these “pranksters” need to recognize that their behavior can considered assault and/or battery. When a protective spouse/parent catches you f’ing with their family, be prepared for some painful consequences. I think I’m gonna start a YouTube channel with pranks gone wrong. :)
Prank video creators are part of the scum of YouTube
Looks like chubby cheeks got what was coming to him lmao
While its nice to see these prank backfire & these a-holes prankers get their due, unfortunately it's the prankee who will get in trouble for putting hands on.
soooooo let me get this straight, a kid gets to be a annoying little pissant, and the adult gets in trouble for showing him how the world works?
Accountability is a myth taught to people who think they are more than just a number. The more time I spend on Reddit, the more I see people defending criminals and mischievance. "They are a product of their environment" only goes so far when the majority of people in that same environment follow the rules (or at least it should).
I'll try to find it, but this was posted in another sub, and the kids allegedly weren't doing a prank, they were supposedly filming this woman because she was filming them first, and the guy was arrested. Edit: OK, who knows what to believe, but here's a link.: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849251/amp/The-shocking-moment-man-shoves-boy-12-ground-catches-kid-recording-wife.html
Check out the interview with the next door neighbor featured in this article, I believe it sheds a little more light on the situation
Pushing the kid over hardly “ beating him up” I read the article. Too many dogooders. Kids NEVER wrong according to most Parents
Lol he could have stalked and harassed that kid for months and made his life hell without any issues. Push him to the ground once jail time....the justice system
What are you on about bro lol
Controversial opinion. That whole country needs therapy. That's it
Meh. I choose to not care about any video when it’s edited down to just one shocking moment with no context
Stop pranking strangers.
Punk deserved it.
Reddit users try not to advocate for assault and battery on a minor. Challenge: impossible.
Dude plowed him over like he was holding a gun or something.
There are plenty of 12-year-olds out there that deserve to be knocked on their asses. Should you though..? Probably not.
Well, your honor, I got a text from my wife saying she was surrounded and trapped in the street. I went outside and saw several young men surrounding my wife’s car. The one closest to the car had what l mistook for a firearm. So, I acted to protect my family from what I thought was a deadly situation. I’m just glad I realized it was a phone after I pushed him. It could have been much worse.
Man, there are a LOT of shitty, self-righteous people in this thread.
Stop “pranking” strangers. You’re not fun or funny.
