Anyone see that momma on cnn snatch up her rioting child?

[AA&E]

Anyone see that momma snatch up her rioting child and start knocking him upside the head? That's quality parenting right there. Kudos to this parent for doing what a parent should do in this situation.

Also, the Viet Nam vet out there standing in the streets last night staring down the thugs and turning them back with nothing more than a icy stare of a man that is pissed off by those destroying his neighborhood.

These two individuals deserve a medal.

Saw it. Momma beating her son in front of riot police. Officers did the right thing and stood there and let it happen.

I also like what the vet said "I'm not black, I'm American!"

That is a mother deserving of a fine Mother's Day gift. I'll take that woman to dinner and send her flowers. Kudos to a real mother there!!!

Yes, saw that video last night. Momma doing what's right.

Did you notice how well prepared her son was for the event - black balaclava - backpack full of whatever - gloves - all black unidentifiable clothes.

The rioters are not playing.

Mama ain't playin' neither.

Mama ain't playin' neither.

And, most importantly - momma realizes the Police aren't playing, either. They're there to do a job. And she saw her kid about to "become" that job.

Maybe Michael Brown's death wasn't in vain, after all. (Some) People are getting the message.

Damn straight. That was a good moment.

There's a hellova lot of fine Americans. I'm glad to see a couple get proper recognition. I love America and I am not alone.

Yes I did and we so need more of that.

Fox News reported it wasn't his mom. She just saw the dude throw a brick at a cop car and she went after his ass.

I guess we now know it wasn't his Mom, but even when we thought it was, I was more focused on the previous 17 or 18 years.

 

[ghuns]

Anybody call CPS on her arse?

I would have been heartwarming to see the riots turn into a mob of ticked off mothers slapping their kids and dragging them home to do homework so they could break that cycle.

Individuals, sure. Without Dad in the picture, not in large measure.

Even better. Just some pissed off resident that said Enough!

Not saying there isn't a lack of parenting, because I do believe that is the case in many instances. But sometimes even the best efforts by parents can lead to catastrophic results. I have a family member that adopted two babies. Upper class and very affluent family. These children were given every opportunity that one could hope for. Today one is a corporate attorney with a degree from an Ivy league school, the other a drug addict with a history of soliciting arrests.

So your saying "nature over nurture"

we could just build a wall around them, let them fend for themselves.
