sooo... should you have been allowed to slap his kids? Should the neighbor have simply popped your dog with a BB gun?
Now in the case at hand, how about if that kid had been a teenager? Should the ol' codger have been allowed to slap a teenager makin' a ruckus? Would he have? How about someone in their 30s? Would he have had the balls to step up on a screaming kid had he been in the care of a young man?
