OH Allyson! How horrible! That guy is so lucky that your bro only punched him. If it had been me, I would have totally lost my shit and ended up beating the crap out of him. I'm so sad for your family, what a horrible thing to have to live through, made all that much worse because of the stupid camera crews/news reporters.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm with Susan, and beth, and all the other pacifist Buffistas who wouldn't hesitate to drop anyone who touched a kid in our care.
Gods, Allyson. I can only just barely imagine what must have been going through your brother's mind (and heart, and fists) at that moment. I can barely imagine, and it's got me shaking and incoherent. So much crazy worse for him. But, damn, he's a good, heroic dad. And you're such a good sister, aunt, fierce advocate for your whole family.
I just want to gather up your whole family and all the Buffistas and then shake the entire rest of the world until its teeth rattle.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Allyson, I'm also happy to contribute to a home/lawyer fund. Whatever I can do to help.
I watched the news report--did I get that right? The groper was not only not arrested, a month later he is still working at the same market? Um... that makes me VERY angry... people really don't get how molesters operate do they?

I just watched the video of the news report. The incident was a month ago?
