    Read the story.

    I’m not saying she was right, but it’s not as comically villainous as it sounds.

    She’s has a young child with autism, and this kid was bullying him and repeatedly dunking him underwater.

    Again, not condoning her actions, just saying there are some mitigating circumstances.

      Security footage obtained by ClickOrlando shows Griffith wading over to the boy and holding him down in the water for approximately two to three seconds.

      She dunked a kid in retaliation, not held him underwater potentially drowning the kid.

      Dumb of her to do but not evil.

          If you interact with kids on the daily, you might think differently. Many kids are beyond what would be reasonable. Unsure about this specific one in the article but pointing out that kids are sometimes combative towards officers, teachers, doctors, etc. It’s hard to say given the limited information.

      I’m saying she’s right.

      If you harm a kid who was doing nothing to you, you deserve everything coming. Autistic kid or not.

      I’ll punt a motherfucker.
