Although "Kim" is wrong for hitting the 10 yr old, the adults that were with the kid should have corrected him for acting up in the first place. Considering the expense it is to go to the movies these days, the experience does not need to be ruined by an unruly kid nor should the adult let that behavior take place. The adults with the kid should have had their teeth knocked out for letting the little bastard act up in the first place.

Curtis got slapped, again!

I'm thinking it was a group of kids alone. I don't think the parent showed up until after he got hit.

Curtis Bowen is a fat black son of a bitch.

I don't subscribe to that 100 percent of the time. It takes a village you know.

The title of this thread is pretty damn misleading. A "slap" won't knock out a kid's tooth. A punch with a closed fist will.

The article quoted in the OP didn't say he slapped the kid. It said he punched the kid.

A 10 year old kid doesn't deserve to get punched in the face by an adult for being loud and obnoxious in a movie theater. There is no defending the adult's behavior. He needs to serve some jail time for assault and battery. If he did that to my kid, I'd wind up in jail for assault and battery, but at least the "victim" would be an adult.

A slap might knock out a baby tooth, especially if it was already loose. And actually, the story says hit, slap, smack and punch. So who knows what really happened?

A village protects children first and foremost. I wonder if that 10 year old kid has a dad.

Dude did what most of us would LIKE to do in this situation, but hopefully have enough sense NOT to do.

I'll concede the point that it could have been a slap rather than a punch, since the perpetrator called it a slap. It doesn't really matter, because he hit the kid hard enough to knock a tooth out of his head. Saying "it could have been just a baby tooth that I knocked out of the kid's mouth when he pissed me off" is not a viable defense.

That concept is only applicable where love is there to balance any action taken.
This man had no prior exposure to that child. Completely unacceptable and utterly indefensible.

Lol. I have no sympathy for the kid. I wouldn't have done it myself, that's just not smart.

But some of these little shit head kids deserve it.

It's probably no coincidence that this happened two days after a Chinese company bought AMC Theaters. I suspect there'll be a lot more people being slapped around by Asian men in theaters going forward as they consolidate their control.

I hope everyone realizes that this is how the Chinese invasion of America will take place. Americans getting slapped in theaters. Americans staying at home. Empty theaters, slowly getting populated by Chinese soldiers. And then one day, probably during a Jason Sudeikis movie, all of the theaters in America will be filled with platoons, companies, and brigades of Chinese infantry, and there won't be a damned thing we can do about it since they all bought tickets. And then during the closing credits they'll storm out, shooting and stabbing with their bayonets, and it will be the end of America as we know it.

This.
