A valuable life lesson

And to be fair, it's probably not the worst thing any of the Royals have done to a kid. Allegedly.

As much as I love to see misbehaved kids, or kids of parents who let them run wild, get their just desserts, I feel like it’s weird that an adult would think that their job, which effectively involves walking in a silly way, is more important than the safety of a child.

Doesn't their job involve doing exactly what they've been told to do without deviation, though?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 10:31 am As much as I love to see misbehaved kids, or kids of parents who let them run wild, get their just desserts, I feel like it’s weird that an adult would think that their job, which effectively involves walking in a silly way, is more important than the safety of a child.
They could instruct their soldiers to swerve out of line if they feel it's important, but where will that end?

They were only following orders.

I like the way he stomps on the prone kid for good measure.
What an absolute tool.

Hehe - if the soldiers had to continually dodge out of the way of all the tourists - who go there to see the soldiers marching up and down - then it wouldn't be quite the same spectacle would it?Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:50 am I like the way he stomps on the prone kid for good measure.

The kids parents should have got him out of the way.

He clearly sees a child, shouts something odd and then stamps on it. Wonder if the reaction would be the same if he broke an armBoniO wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 12:01 pmHehe - if the soldiers had to continually dodge out of the way of all the tourists - who go there to see the soldiers marching up and down - then it wouldn't be quite the same spectacle would it?Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 11:50 am I like the way he stomps on the prone kid for good measure.

Didn’t put a foot wrong, we need to stamp out unruly children

If it was my kid. I would have battered the soldier. Worker in uniform or not.

You're the perfect person to talk about just desserts being called Apple Wumble :-)Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 10:31 am As much as I love to see misbehaved kids, or kids of parents who let them run wild, get their just desserts, I feel like it’s weird that an adult would think that their job, which effectively involves walking in a silly way, is more important than the safety of a child.

Having raised two children on my own, I think I'm qualified to have an opinion.
It was the mother's fault for not having her child under control. You can't blame the kid.... Kids don't have good spatial awareness, it's the mother's fault.
Glad the kid wasn't hurt, but the mother should be taking better care of her offspring IMO.

The parent was not white, so probably knew they’d get killed on the spot if they tried anything like that.

That thought did cross my mind but I'd still have given it a go.

Not long to go now until the poll closes, but it's looking like the overwhelming majority feel that the kid has been taught a valuable life lesson. As has the feckless parent. Just a few wet blankets doing their usual simple-minded, faux-compassionate hand wringing.

I wonder if voting would have been different if the child was white?
