Where are the Parents

I felt sorry for the guy though.  Looks like PTSD to me.

But maybe he just grew up in a really strict home, where women of any age don't get to talk back.  So this sassy girl just triggered him and he handled it exactly the way good old dad would have.

I can see myself in the same situation, trying to break up a fight, but then I would have just held the girl at arms length if she attacked me, at most pushed her away in self defense. Even if she hit me, I'd be inclined to leave it up to the law.

Landing a haymaker with closed fist on an 80 lb child--that is something else.

Bad people on both sides of this one.

Early 90's I remember a group of kids that were hanging out with the little sister of a girl I was dating throwing maxi pads at people from the the second floor of a mall.

On the other end we've had shootings in and outside Pittsburgh malls (by teens) just within the last year.

Bad kids are bad kids.  The reason why they are bad can be debated.

Adult "men" who punch 11 year old girls are idiots unless he is being mobbed and swinging for his life and safety and clips one.

Of course on the other end you also have the superhero, wannabe cops, who feel the need to step in when they don't have the training to handle a situation and then get in over their head.
