I'm with you alphacat, they needed their asses kicking - many 13 year olds are pretty big (bigger than me), and as a fellow car lover and owner I'd kick anyones ass for throwing stones at mine. If they were kids I knew I'd also drag them back round to their parents so they could kick their ass as well.
Mikebits said:An eye for a eye does not apply to children as adults should have the wisdom and foresight to make the right decision. It is the adult that must make the right choice and act accordingly, to stoop to a childlike level only demonstrates childlike behavior by the adult and perhaps this person has much growing up to do.
I don't hit women but if one hits me and it's obvious that she'll hit me again harder, I'll make sure she doesn't hit me again.
There's a woman in Jujitsu club I attend, she's much better than me. Some Jujitsu clubs even have more female memebers than male.
Of course jujitsu is different.

Have you still got that camcorder your cat pi**ed on?
Martial arts is ok at times, but no match for my 109lb Schutzhund II Shepherd, nor my 6000lb truck, nor the business end of my .45cal, my hickory stick, or my fist. If none of those are effective, I resort to my 4lb. poodle .... he lifts a mean leg on your shoe!

You know the problem here?
Do-gooders.
Those are the people, armed with a complete lack of foresight, who have reduced whole communities to individual units in fear of disciplining their own offspring, lest they end up in court for 'abuse'.
The case used to be that when you were seen misbehaving and the news soon got back to your parents, you were dealt with appropriately. Or worse...you went running home reporting that you'd got a slap from a teacher or neighbourhood adult, then got another one.
Why?
Because you most-likely deserved it!! If you got a slap from someone well known to your family, you were obviously up to no good. I got quite a few in the past and was definitely up to no good at the time. I got a couple from the teachers at school and guess what....I was up to no good.
Would I have liked to have had it differently?
At the time, probably yes because it made a dent in my pride and my pant rear, but I can sit here now and honestly write that if I had not been checked at that time, my understanding of what is morally and socially acceptable behaviour would be much different from what it is now.
The do-gooders stepped into the arena when high-profile cases of abuse (over-extreme and unrelenting punishment) toward children began to get attention from the media and communities alike. Granted, the above situations have no place in any civilised society, but in the majority of scenarios where family discipline is administered in a strict and loving environment, where the line is drawn and the consequences are laid out, there is no abuse.
The do-gooders muddied the parenting waters and decreed that all smacking is a form of abuse and that "talking" should be the answer. My parents could have "talked" until they were blue in the face and I wouldn't have taken a blind bit of notice. I would have likely just carried on regardless, knowing that a "No, you shouldn't do that" would probably be followed by the same, or a "Stop that! You know it's wrong." etc...
And the reaction? "Sure, I know it's wrong, but what are you going to do about it.....talk to me some more?"
The short-sharp-shock (smack on the arse) is the key. Not just a gentle talking to...
Considering that Alpha was twice the size of the youth, there were alternatives to take control of the situation aside from a punch in the face. This is extreme action.
