Again, if it was me I would have shot him then beat him to death. No keyboard warrior just a father of 3 who was raised to protect my family not film it for Facebook Live.

Most people react when they see horrendous cruelty against an innocent being. Especially a child.
It's called having empathy and a soul. Being able to relate to other beings and what they are doing and feeling .
Normal, somewhat well adjusted humans would understandably feel a visceral urge to protect and avenge such a horrendous act.
Do you have a problem feeling empathy by any chance? Not trying to be disrespectful.
If it was not my child, and I was armed, I would try to stop him but not shoot.

Yeah, but don't we all go to the mall with the intention to kill?

ok.
you said this
If it was not my child, and I was armed, I would try to stop him but not shoot.
so i misread
so what does that mean
gonna pistol whip?
try to stop him so when he fights back you end up shooting?
big risk my friend
people also have this misconception that since their actions come from a good place things will work out.
there is no guarantee of that either
clearly someone who tosses a kid over is crazy as #
i know everyone on here is tough as hell but that dude could be tougher
you going over to save the day could just as easily end up with you going over the ail too.
how would your kids like that? see you try to save the day then get tossed over?
it is a possibility
people call me a coward for these opinions and thats fine. i am cool with that
what i am is a realist.
too big a risk to me and mine
having said that if i were defending my people i would murder everyone

I did not call you a coward TST. Not at all. I was trying to state how I would handle it. You yourself said "having said that if i were defending my people i would murder everyone" which you would always defend your family.
As far as my would not shoot comment, no, if I was a bystander and saw someone toss a kid over a railing I would first secure my family and would not wildly shoot at anyone. I don't want to be a hero but I would make sure whoever did it was being perused and would not get away..from a distance if needed.
You are correct that you never know in a situation. However, when one starts you better know how to react is all. My wife always laughs because if we go somewhere I am securing it in my head. No back to a door/etc. The world is nuckin futs now and you have to be ready for that zombie apocalypse right? ...have a good night man.
