Sign in to disble this ad
My 2 daughters, grandson and some of their friends were hanging out in front of our house, when a teenage kid came down the street driving WAY too fast (residential neighborhood). One of the boys yelled "slow down!" and the kid locked up his brakes and got out of the car and threatened to kill all of them then drove away. My daughter came and told me, so I was paying close attention for a while and we brought the grandson inside...
All of a sudden I hear the guy 3 doors down yell "drop the mother f'in knife. I ran down there and started yelling at the kid... I'm 6'5" and weigh about 350... Within about 20 seconds the kid had wet his pants and dropped the knife LOL. Then we told him to sit down on the ground with one hand under each butt cheek until the cops arrived, which he complied with - I was pretty much yelling orders at him and using a fair number of NSFW words and it's safe to say he was pretty intimidated. Meanwhile his mommy came down the street whining about us cussing at her baby boy... "M'aam, he has a mother f'ing knife! That tends to raise people's emotions!"
I then told him in no uncertain terms that if he had gotten near my daughters or grandson waving that knife around, especially after threatening to kill everybody, I would have put a bullet in his head, signed 2 pieces of paper and slept in my bed that night. I think it woke him up to his need to learn some self control. Cops put him in cuffs and put him in the car, took him to the psych ward and I think he may be getting some jail time after that too...

Regarding what you did, don't blame you one bit. Takes a mother to create that kid, so I'm sure she did something wrong when they got home in relation to teaching him a lesson. |

I keep telling these little tough guys that if you keep looking for a fight you will finally meet someone that will rise up to the challenge and thump you. |

But I fondly remember making a teenager chill out quickly by picking him up by his head once. It really gets some people's attention when they suddenly realize they aren't nearly as impressive to the whole world as they are to their idiot friends.

you succeeded in emasculating him. I am in no way saying a lesson did not need to be learned, and in no way say you didn't do what you needed to do, I just pray there are no repercussions.
Best of luck to you.

-Mike | This post, and the sentiment it contains, make me sad for society.
Good job Brad.

If the kid were a hardened criminal, you could have taken him down, but you might have been cut up pretty good in the process. I don't blame you for protecting your kids, but the bragadoccio/bad@$$ tone is not healthy. We tend to get back what we put out. That goes for the kid, and it goes for the OP.

I saw this as "I am not going to take some punk kid pushing people around in MY neighborhood?" The title of thread is ruining your perception of the story. He just happened to pee himself.
Good job OP. Still give me hope some parents are raising their kids correctly (mainly you). |

|  | Registered User | | | | | There's even a small chance that this will be the kick in the arse this kid needs to straighten up. I wouldn't have agreed 10yrs ago, but now that I have kids I can see it.
Anyone ever said something like that to my kids they wouldn't have gotten just a yelling down. He got off lucky.

Hey Doc, had this been a MAN with a knife, threatening children, would you be so critical, or would the OP be a hero?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Purwakarta/Jakarta, Indonesia | | | The people that are critical of the OP are probably childless and/or living in a sheltered complex of sorts. Having a kid of my own, if someone were to threaten my family and later be seen waving a knife around, I don't particularly care what age they are, but they are definitely going to reap what they've sown, even if it means this "adult" is picking on a "kid". The operative word in OP's post was "with a knife".
The reason kids like this wave knives is because *people let them get away with that sort of bullpoop* - god forbid we actually *gasp* discipline our children when they cross a line... can't have that you know. Gotta protect the innocent child psyche! Won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?!
Pah-tooey... kid waves knife = kid going to be lucky to not have said knife placed where the sun don't shine.
