Everybody Outta the Pool! (or The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same)

[fromderinside]

.... It is possible that this is such a tight knit community that everyone knows everyone else, so an outsider is pretty obvious. But somehow, given that the mother of the hostess says if anyone had had any problems, they only needed to direct their complaints to her, I kind of doubt that unfamiliarity of faces was the issue.

Apparently the bitchers didn't know the hostess, or worse, they wouldn't talk to her under any circumstances. Nice way to ruin another's party, bitch, bitch, bitch, call them names, be-itch, incite, bitch, complain, whine, be a fuck up, bitch, yada, yada, yada.

As a parent I would be enraged at someone hurting my child, but that's just me.

And you can go ahead and feel that way. And should a run-in with the cops occur again, your child will feel even more emboldened. Except maybe the consequences will be far worse.

Or on the other hand, you could tell your child to avoid such situations, leave if a such a situation does occur, and remember what happened the last time.
But that's just me. I have a thing for keeping my kids safe and out of jail, and teaching them to exercise good judgment.

Don't try and misconstrue what I've said into something about me supporting anything the police do. You've already read what I've wrote about how I feel on that particular subject.

So I shouldn't be enraged at having my 15 year old daughter's face slammed to the ground and then a grown man sit on her back? I should be upset that she hurt his feelings? He is hurting her PERIOD (psychologically, emotionally, and physically) but I should not see that as the problem? And supporting my child's right not to be man handled is a bad thing?

Which do you think is more important, that a teenager not be mouthy, as teenagers are apt to be, or that a trained professional with a gun not slam teenagers into the ground because that trained professional felt slighted?

Not saying you can't be upset by both, just asking which do you think is more important?

It depends on the events leading up to the situation. Actions have consequences. The cops are going to get the situation under control, the more the teens resist that the worse they'll fare as a result.

So you think your children have an absolute protection from the consequences of their bad behavior?

so you think that there is no validity to the question of if the "consequences" of an action has any kind of relation to the supposed offense?
your argument is basically that being at a swimming pool somebody approve of you being at, and then not instantly prostrating yourself before a civil enforcement agent is justifiable grounds to be physically assaulted.

which is fine and all, but the reality is that... that's fucked up.
you're entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is fucked up, and acting like you're somehow an agent of sanctimonious righteousness when really you're just espousing a fucked up opinion is... well okay to be fair that's pretty much your 100,000+ posting history in a nut shell, actually.
