I say good for him. He was just trying to scare those kids straight. And that is ok with me. If his parents can't control him, let someone else. Personally I'd rather beat my kid's ass myself than have him get his ass beat in the penitentiary later. And I don't think he was planning to hurt anyone. Threats work. Let someone try to tell ME I can't defend my own child!....I'll tell them to go straight to hell. By law those kids assaulted that girl, and they should be in juvie! So please spare me the bullshit. That father is ok with me!
