What? I don’t go to the hood looking at 14 year olds very often. Any tips?
You should NEVER strike a child?

So much to respond to. Will try to keep it short.
I teach middle school - have a lot of insight into situations like this.
First of all, keep in mind this is an extreme situation. I've had a lot of kids tell me to f#%k off over the years, but never had one come at me. The guy exercised great restraint, walking away multiple times. When the kid starts throwing punches, everything changes. I have been taught to NEVER put your hands on a kid unless #1 they might hurt themselves #2 they might hurt another student #3 they might hurt you. My career and freedom is not worth it. As angry as you might be, you walk away.
I have broken up many fights over the years. The last one was two 8th grade girls. Once we (myself and another male staff member) broke through the crowd, we each grabbed a girl from behind, bear hugged them, and got them away from each other. The other girl broke away, came at the girl I was holding, took a swing - missed the girl, and hit me in the shoulder. Long story short, Police were called - they asked if any adults were assaulted. My principal made eye contact with me and nodded yes. She was expelled.
This video does illustrate what is wrong in public schools. Kids know they are untouchable and are not held accountable for their behavior. No one knows what this 10 yr olds home life is like, but its obvious there is very little (if any) structure or discipline at home. You dont act like he did, or speak to that woman the way he did, and have a good home life.
I dont know what the answer is, but I do know that most of our problems in society can be traced back to a breakdown in discipline at home. Like many people in this thread, if i ever got in trouble iin school, I got it 10x worse at home. No, it wasnt child abuse, it was discipline.
Sadly, when you teach long enough, you read about kids who were either killed, killed someone, or put in jail. I have had all three. I am never shocked. You can see it coming. I hope the kid in this video gets some help. He acts as if he is invincible. Someday he will act that way to someone who can fight back.
Sorry for the long rant...

OP's video is actual footage of HROT fight bar. Who are the participants?
Not reading through entire thread. I assume the adult in the situation was not punished for pushing POS kid to ground.
Damn Hawdedoff, you are reallly smart.... Bet that Division 1 sport taught you well, huh?
The mother reportedly arrived and everyone apologised and sorted the incident out until a few hours later when the mother posted a short clip to Facebook of the man pushing her boy only, with his details including name and address.
It’s claimed the man was told to post the full video to clear his name and get the true story out there.
This right here. He used great restraint to not turn out that kid's lights.
Guessing someone is scouring the vaults for hot takes that were "stupid" then and still seem that way.
I like the effort to try and earn the Worst Poster award for you OR him or both.
One of the few threads in recent memory when almost all of HROT was on the same page. Except for a dipshit or two.
I think it was Moral that posted this thread into another thread to show what a douche Hawkedoff is, so I went reading through this thread.
Little shit probably doesn't even have an avatar. Looks like a job for @Moral.
Around election time no less. WTF happened during the election that just caused decimation amongst the HROT community? People just dropped off the map. Maybe OiT has some theories.
@hawkedoff was last seen 4-20-2021. That might be the coolest thing he ever did on this forum.
Indiana teacher charged with battery for slapping student

Kid fvcked around and found out.
At best he gave him a shove after eating some punches. Kid was absolutely baiting him to do something physical. The adult gave a restrained response. I would have laughed at him and called him a wuss.
I enjoyed that video as much this morning as I did a couple of years ago. There is a lot of this kind of stuff...lots of it kids screaming at teachers or staff in schools...with very little accountability.
Allowed early retirement with full pension because of this incident though. This guy should lose that imo.
Good boy, good kid...now I know why tigers eat their young.
I could have had half of the Nun's at my school locked up back in the 80's for this.
No kidding.
I liked the three disclaimers at the news site cautioning the video may be upsetting. That wasn't uncommon at my school. Actually, it was kind of expected given enough reason.
This is an oldie, but my opinion doesn’t change— I see nothing wrong with the way this adult handled this situation. He avoided confrontation then defended himself when he started to get assaulted and ended it quickly without real violence.
Adult = Not Guilty
Child = Guilty of assault and being a Dbag

He retired immediately after this incident. I guess I believe he deserved to be fired instead.
