Thats so fucking uncalled for! Stuff like that pisses me off so much! ACCIDENTS HAPPEN BITCH!
Would you do the same if your kid ran wasnt looking and ran into a cyclist? (she prob would actually).

Skaters get a bad wrap for no reason sometimes. Yeh I suppose it is in public not a skatepark, but still. If they are so protective over the bloody kid, why was it so far away from the parents anyway?
And its not like the dude got aggressive! He showed concern for the kid

Yeah, I reckon she was over the top!!!!!

She had a right to be angry, but not to punch him in the head!!!!!

If he was standing there, and her kid ran into him, does that give him the right to punch her in the head?????

As far as I’m concerned, in these situations the whole ‘don’t hit women’ rule just doesn’t apply. She was willing to punch him in the face with a clenched fist, completely unprovoked (and she clearly knew exactly what she was doing), so she deserved whatever came (or SHOULD have come) next. Skater should have smacked out that nasty ho (well, at least in a world where people are genuinely equal, regardless of gender) - because even though it was on video, charging her with assault would be a waste of time (political correctness being the hypocritical farce that it is).

Not sure if any of you guys watch ‘The Boondocks’ but it totally reminded me of this LOL


(no racial offense intended)

More to the point though; totally uncalled for, it’s not like he did it purposely and he even made sure to see if the kid was OK.

Ok so I don’t want to be all politically correct rather than support skaters… but…

The dude smacked into her son on the foot path! It was an accident and he was sorry but it could have been avoided by him just not doing it. A kid that young won’t recognize the danger of being near a board.
I watch a lot of skate videos of people coming off hand rails and smacking into a person or a car. If you might hit someone, use a friend to keep the area clear or… don’t do it. That’s just my opinion of course.

As far as the punch goes, no it wasn’t called for at all. But she’s obviously not the classiest woman out there. She would probably punch you over a spilt drink so she will definitely swing at someone who hurts her child.

Basically I’m saying, he made a mistake not an accident, which made him cross the wrong woman and reaped what he sowed.
Learn from it, suck it up and keep rolling skate

In fairness, the kid literally ran straight into him. Yeah, kids that age are too young to know any different, and that’s why they need to be supervised. Clearly he wasn’t, so the fault was shared - and as far as the woman goes, if the skater had hit her back that would have to be considered her reaping what she’d sown.

By the looks of that dirty gash of a mother, the poor kid better get used to bruises. He’ll probably be ‘accidentally walking into a door’ a lot throughout his childhood.
