Man slaps stranger’s crying kid
By KATIE LESLIE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Gwinnett County man is in custody accused of slapping a stranger’s crying toddler in a Stone Mountain Wal-Mart on Monday.
The mother of the 2-year-old child told police that both were walking in the aisles of the Rockbridge Road store when Roger Stephens, 61, approached and said “if you don’t shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you,” according to a police report.
A few moments later, in another aisle, Stephens grabbed the 2-year-old and slapped her across the face four or five times, according to the report.
Stephens then told the mom, “See, I told you I would shut her up,” according to the report.
A bystander held Stephens until store security came to assist, according to a WSB-TV report.

The title made me laugh.
But then I saw the kid's age and how many times she got hit.
Yikes.

Just out of curiosity, where do you shop? You seem to hold a lot of contempt for places like Walmart.

It just depends on what it is I'm purchasing.

I totally agree. I think this is one of the most insulting things I've seen in a long time. I'm lucky that I have the financial means where deciding whether or not to boycott a store based on labor practices is even an option for me. For some people, that is the last thing on their minds and they are thankful to just to have a job.

This website does seem sort of mean. I have to admit, however, that I sent the website to my friend who is in Iraq right now. She said it made her laugh and feel better about having to be in the sand box.

Some of the pictures/commentary do cross the line for me, but some don't fall in that category. If I would think that person looks crazy in any other environment because of their outfit, that's a poor fashion choice and that isn't always tied to race/class/gender. One that comes to mind is the man with a mullet and the description is in a language they assume he speaks. Mullets really aren't that exciting anymore (I see a fierce one every so often, and maybe it is my proximity to Canada and hockey so I am immune  ) but a person who is wearing ridiculous underwear that is seen through her dress and it is similar to the store's marketing mascot is funny.

Is that based on social or political commentary or because they messed up your order?
