An Auburn man accused of smacking a loud 10-year-old at a Kent movie theater could face months in jail if convicted of the felony assault charge now filed against him.

King County prosecutors contend 21-year-old Yong Hyun Kim knocked out one of the boy’s teeth after the child and several other youths refused to quiet down and stop throwing popcorn in April.

According to charging documents, Kim admitted to hitting the boy and appeared ashamed when confronted by police with the boy’s age. Kim allegedly said he thought the boy was an adult when he slapped him in the face.

The Associated Press reports the incident occured during a screening of "Titanic" in 3-D.

At 10:40 p.m. on April 11, Kent police were called to the AMC Theater at 426 Ramsay Way following a complaint that a man had attacked a child there.

Officers arrived to find to find the 10-year-old, his mother and several friends in the theater lobby. The boy was bleeding from the nose and missing a tooth.

The boy told police he wasn’t sure why Kim struck him. He said he was seated in the theater when a man with “long hair and … 3D glasses” stepped over a row of seats and confronted him.

According to the boy’s account, Kim said something to the effect of, “You know what, I paid a lot of money to see this movie” and punched him in the face.

For his part, Kim said the boy and others were talking loudly during the movie and throwing popcorn, some of which landed on him and his girlfriend, a Kent detective told the court.

Kim told police he confronted the group about their behavior, to no avail, the detective continued.

“The group laughed at him and did not quiet down,” the detective said in court documents. “Yong (Kim) said he hit one of the subjects in the face with an open hand.”

“I got so mad that it just happened,” Kim told police, according to charging documents.

Kim was arrested and later gave a lengthy statement to police. The detective noted Kim claimed he didn’t know the boy was so young until police informed him.

“When (the arresting officer) asked Yong (Kim) if he was aware that the person he struck was 10 years old … Yong hung his head down and said he thought the person was a grown man,” the detective told the court.

Kim has been charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Kim, who has no criminal record, was briefly jailed and has since been released.

I know, right? My first though was he deserved to get jeered.
I’ll admit though, I took Mrs. Radar to see it when it came out originally but in my defense the only two parts I enjoyed were its ending and when Leo DiCrapio died.

If only someone had pimp slapped some of the idiots that post on this board when they were children, it would probably be a lot more enjoyable place to hang out.

Again, unlikely, but it's not unheard of for a boy to have started puberty by age 10.

I'm not saying that it's likely, but that it's POSSIBLE that the dude was genuinely mistaken.

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.

So that's how it all begins or ends however it starts and finish that way. What can an average American do about it RM? I hardly ever go to theaters, movies don't look that good anymore to spend money to go see. Maybe I should go and keep an eerie eye out for these chinese soulder boys. Crap.

When some people give you the open hand slap, it's like they almost put their whole body into it.

I think the only thing we can do is to start producing movies that sap the energy of Chinese soldiers. More boring chick flicks, more stuff starring Vince Vaughn, more period costume dramas with Helena Bonham Carter. Some of our patriotic movie producers are already fighting this war.

This is the very thing I have been predicting and fearing for years, maybe decades.

Dang movie theatres / enemy fortresses.

It's good to have DeBerg post what I should be outraged about today every day. I think it's interesting that he manages one of these posts in DC and in the main forum almost every day.

I mean without him how would I ever know what to be outraged about?

Went too far by hitting the kid, but I bet this actually makes the kid less of a ****ing douche for the rest of his life.
