Is it just me or are people more prone to just last out at someone because they have no patience or whatever? I mean you don't like something then try to get it resolved instead of entering a boxing match.
When I read this, I just couldn't believe it. You would think that I wouldn't be surprised any more after seeing other strange crimes. Did this guy even try to get the teenager's attention in a non-vocal way before he hit him? I mean, it said he was listening to music and playing games, so I'm assuming he was wearing head phones.
This definitely could have been avoided. Oh well, I guess the man won't be doing anything similar any time soon.
All my kids have Ipods and they at times can be very distracted. But I know if some guy strikes my son because he can not control himself I will be in jail too for slamming him against a wall a few times. Maybe having his head pounded will get him to realize his mistake.
