Don't make me laugh. Of course he was a troublemaker. Seriously. DetlefK Sep 2015 #1

What soldier's job is subduing pre-teen boys with broken limbs? nt geek tragedy Sep 2015 #2

Sigh. Obviously that's not his job. Please try to be serious. DetlefK Sep 2015 #3

Walk away nt geek tragedy Sep 2015 #4

HAHAHA! I would like to see you explain that to your officer! HAHAHA! DetlefK Sep 2015 #6

The soldier chased the boy down. He left his position to physically engage the boy. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #7

So this is how you would handle bratty kids at your work-place? Running away from them? DetlefK Sep 2015 #8

You really hate that little kid. Why? nt geek tragedy Sep 2015 #9

You can't counter what he said huh? King_David Sep 2015 #10

what he said was authoritarian nonsense and victim-blaming ala Trayvon Martin etc geek tragedy Sep 2015 #11

What kind of office are you working in? King_David Sep 2015 #14

one in a civilized country nt geek tragedy Sep 2015 #15

You're Canadian? King_David Sep 2015 #16

New York. We don't believe in beating up other people's kids here. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #17

Do you believe in shoving a kid out of your office if it prevents you from doing your work? DetlefK Sep 2015 #20

No. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #21

*facepalm* DetlefK Sep 2015 #24

No, the way to deal with a bratty kid is to act like an adult, not a rabid dog. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #25

The adult thing is to retreat and let the bratty kid keep doing whatever it's doing? DetlefK Sep 2015 #28

here's the video, start watching around 4:50 geek tragedy Sep 2015 #29

Really ? King_David Sep 2015 #32

You are one of the very few who support the arrest and beating of the 12 year old in the clip. Little Tich Sep 2015 #33

You are way off, King_David Sep 2015 #34

Of course. Little Tich Sep 2015 #36

That insulting question is like me asking you : King_David Sep 2015 #37

I may be a little bit dumb, but I still don't understand your position on police / soldiers Little Tich Sep 2015 #40

Just to recap: you favor an armed thug chasing down a little boy and brutalizing geek tragedy Sep 2015 #12

I favor kids staying the fuck away from military operations. DetlefK Sep 2015 #18

So, your position is that Palestinians have "NO FUCKING BUSINESS" being in their own villages? geek tragedy Sep 2015 #19

Seriously? Now you are trying it with twisting my words? This is getting ridiculous. DetlefK Sep 2015 #22

The soldier left his unit to chase down a little boy in order to give the little boy a beatdown. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #23

And the palestinian adults brought the boy to the scene to pelt the soldiers with rocks. DetlefK Sep 2015 #26

so you do approve of IDF troops beating the shit out of preteen Palestinian children geek tragedy Sep 2015 #27

Maybe you start viewing children as children. DetlefK Sep 2015 #30

What if its the other way around DetlefK ? Israeli Sep 2015 #42

The IDF creates unlikely heroes - in a normal world, these kids would have been in school Little Tich Sep 2015 #5

Because Israelis actually approve of treating Palestinian kids like this. geek tragedy Sep 2015 #13

In a normal world, officers would use real force when attacked... shira Sep 2015 #35

Do you have any concrete examples from this "normal world" where "real force" is used against Little Tich Sep 2015 #38

Real force against children attacking officers with rocks, right? shira Sep 2015 #43

Kids :( who see injustice Truprogressive85 Sep 2015 #31

Eric Garner is dead oberliner Sep 2015 #39

So are several hundred Palestinian kids. nt geek tragedy Sep 2015 #41
