Everyone likes to see someone else's kid catching hell.

As one familiar with being on the bottom of the pile hereabouts, hopefully you won't consider me the first on a pile.

I have nothing ill to say of this parent and this action. I do not think it should be admired as it is but rather respected in intent.

He was participating in a riot after all.

Right. What with the widespread fear and loathing of 'violent ghetto black males,' this instance of 'kid catching hell' was particularly gratifying, which explains why it went viral.

I expect it's likely that the poor woman is mortified to be the subject of so much stereotype-validating voyerism.

I saw her on TV last night doing interviews. She obviously was happy to do them & liked the attention.
I know you would understand if your business was looted & burned to the ground, but your not the norm in this matter.

Sometimes I must admit that at times our progressivism comes creeping out sideways and we make assumptions without actual basis of fact. And we get a bit cynical about proud mothers refusing to let their children act like assholes. Or local residents creating a living barrier between local police and their neighbors. I suspect because they're sick of their neighborhood being burned down and they know it ain't the cops doing it.

No shit. At what point do some people realize a "time out" will no longer suffice?

And at 3:08, the Republican governor just has to play politics with it.
