IS this abuse.. or keeping a kid from GANG culture?

Since when do uncles dish out punishment? I make the guy eat that belt if it were me.

booyah, is that you?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Obviously not.

Yeah, it's as if you don't whip the ####### out the kid that you must be a soft touch. I don't buy it. People who solve problems with their fists are just lazy and unimaginative

Focus Dude, we are talking about a kid getting a belt on the azz, not fists... but if you must bring in fists and cigarette burns to make a case... go right ahead.

Addressing a grown man as a boy has racist tones to it, are slipping back into that again?

Kid had his jeans on. That sh'it didn't hurt. What it did (especially the whimpering voice) was make him look like a punk in front of his wannabe gang banger peers, which was precisely the point.

Of course, joining a gang is exactly like joining your local sports team or scout troop. You decide it sounds fun and fill in the application...
