Attacking old folks

I'm not going to share the video, or link to the article. It pisses me off to see it, and I suspect that was the intent.
I don't need to go all Rambo and say what I'd do if I saw it happen, I suspect that is also the reason for making this kind of thing a front page item.
But what kind of person can even do this and live with themselves? I honestly don't comprehend the lack of empathy, the complete lack of any moral compass.

How does a person become that evil? Is it taught, or embedded in the genetic code? I see it as a flaw, one that needs corrected.

You know the rules.

When you raise children without discipline, they grow up to be monsters.

Spank your kids when they deserve it- do it for them, do it for all of us.

I'm not trying to be difficult, you can find this easily if you really want to see it.
I don't want to see it again, ever.

Good luck with that. Certain people are Hell-bent-for-Leather in reshaping society. They've got to introduce a bit of anarchy to speed change.

Best medicine for an anarchist? Find out where they reside and burn the place to the ground. Then ... follow them to their next friend's house. Rinse and repeat.

Actually I can provide you names of dozens of psychopaths and serial killers who were spanked and disciplined as children and still turned out evil. I mean it's easy to find, Google it and you'll have countless of examples.
You're already introducing your child to violence by spanking it. However, several of those who turn in to violent psychopaths have one thing in common, more or less. And that is that they were let down by adults at some point in their young life's.
And I'm sure you can find examples of contrary where children were let down and still have become great people. There's no recipe for racing children that is 100% bulletproof. I believe in raisi g children with love rather than violence. But that's just me

Spanking has worked pretty well for thousands of years. Love AND discipline.

The subject came up with our son just yesterday. I forget exactly what prompted him to say something about it (I think it was his frustration with at-home schooling; we've had a couple snow/extreme cold days, and thanks to COVID, they learn remotely now), but I told him that discipline for defying authority starts when kids are young.

I said the reason for that is that when you're young, it looks like an annoying temper tantrum, but if it isn't fixed and disrespect continues, it turns into kids who end up shot by law enforcement because they can't do what they're told when they're angry and lash out and attack.

I said we'd rather him know how to control himself and get through it alive so it can sorted out later than end up throwing the young adult version of a tantrum and dead.

So ... we started with discipline when he was young, so he knows how to respect authority, and we continue on to this day.

Honestly, we only spanked him a few times. Other methods were effective.

No links no hints, why not use the rant forum instead of political mud pit?

introducing your child to violence by spanking it.

Somebody has to say this, if you introduce your child to violence by spanking it, then your doing it wrong.

Many of us can mildy chastise our children without it being an act of violence.

If you have self control spanking is an effective form of discipline in the hands of an experienced parent or guardian.

Criminals attack the most vulnerable.
There is a reason that gun shows don't have to many robberies..... Other than the prices.

I don't post hardly anything outside of the mudpit due to that mod note I see in almost every other thread stating that "this isn't the mudit". So to avoid mod work, I just put it all here. When you are a mod, you can move it, for now, if you really want to, hit the alert button and tell the mods how you would do it. They love that.

I understand what you mean. Sometimes I wish superheroes were real, just to fix bad people without making bureaucratic circles.

We used spanking in very specific circumstances, mainly whenever his actions caused pain to others or had the potential to caused harm/pain to himself in life threatening ways.

1. He got a swat after running out into traffic.

2. We finally resorted to swatting him when he went through a phase of hitting other kids in his daycare with his toys. They tried all their solutions there, and they didn't work at which point they brought us in. We told him that night that he wasn't to do that, it hurt the other kids. We told him if he did it again, he'd get a swat for every kid he hit with a toy. Sure enough, he hit one that day. So he got a swat that night, and we told him that was what the kid he hit felt like. We told him not to do it again or there would be another swat. He did the next day; he got one more swat with the same explanation. He never did it again.

3. We gave him a swat once when we caught him doing something mean to the cats that hurt them. We gave the same explanation - it caused them pain and the swat was a reflection of that. We then told that if the cat had hit back, it might have bitten him and then there would all kinds of trouble for it - even up to it having to die. We said animals hurt too.

We generally stopped with the swatting when he got old enough to understand reason and other means of discipline got more effective - grounding, etc.

Try looking for people in California being attacked for walking while Asian. There has a been spike in older Asian folks getting physically assaulted out there.

I get bad people do bad things, but to hurt a defenseless old person for fun, is wrong, and I feel like it's a crime that is a prelude to much worse behavior. This is where psychopaths come from.

But remember "White supremacists" are the real issue in the US.

Personally I think it's from raising several generations to believe they are victims.
People lash out eventually.

Intentionally infecting (and killing) old folks by bunking them with Covid patients is evil too.
However, you might still receive an Emmy for doing it.
