UNAUTHORIZED FINGER: spman: Those geese are nasty in the first place, you can hardly walk in the park anymore without those nasty things threatening you, kid is lucky the thing didn't bite his head off.

I was playing golf with a couple of friends, when my buddy hit a line drive that one-hopped a goose in the head, ending its career as a fairway fertilizer. All the other geese circled around the golf ball, hissing. My friend said that there was no way he was going to get near his shot, and prepared to hit another ball.

Our other friend, who is HUGE (we called him Tiny, he went on to a career in pro wrestling) told him he was a pussy, and that he'd retrieve his ball. The last we saw of him he was running for his cart, and those geese chased him all the way to the clubhouse door. They hung outside waiting for him like a scene from "The Birds". He finally had to leave at closing time, and they chased him to his truck. Geese are vindictive farkers.

That is funny as hell.

Goose, goose...duck.

Grrr.

"Daddy wasn't smart enough to exist any longer. Genetics denied."

BigLuca: skinink: What a family. So not only was the five year old kid harassing the geese, but then the father supposedly pushes over an 82 year old woman who hits her heats and winds up in intensive care. At least her condition is improving, I would think especially for an elderly person that's a really bad injury.

And even if she fully recovers from it, at that age an injury like that is often the start of a downward spiral in health that results in death or nursing home in the next couple years.

I feel sorry for the kid. No doubt he'll develop lifelong issues with geese.

What's good for the goose is good for the grandma

ParagonComplex: Some people flip out if you say anything to their kid regardless of what they're doing.

Exactly. She probably grabbed the kid's collar to stop him. Then "Ooooh We Got a Badass Dad Over Here" comes up and shoves her to the ground. I have news: A fall suffered by any elderly person can be farking fatal. All because his snowflake was harassing the wildlife.

/if he were any kind of man, he'd turn himself in
//but if he were any kind of man, he wouldn't go around shoving old people to the ground

beat the woman until she nearly dies?

She's already nearly dead so maybe he just yelled at her a little

/control your kid and nobody will be tempted to grab his farking neck

I am all for scolding other people's kids if the situation requires...that being said, scolding does not...I repeat...does not...involve the touching of said kid.

Dad didn't seem like a monster, he did hang around, he was described as agitated and concerned, and his side of the story is "When he tried to get her away from the boy, she fell and hit her head".

Yes, of course he is going to say it was an accident, but if he was malicious, I doubt he would have stayed around and been described by a third party as "concerned".

Just because you're old, doesn't mean you're not an asshole. You're not exempt from the rules because you've managed to not die.

TFA: Police are looking for the boy's father, Shyy said. He was described only as being in his 40s.

I hope all you bay area farkers are keeping your eyes peeled for a man in his 40's and if you happen to spot anyone matching that description alert the proper authorities immediately.

that picture is terrible!!!

Wait a minute.

An elderly woman taking her small terrier on their daily walk, who either did nothing more than scold the boy or grabbed him by the neck.

The boy's father, who either knocked the woman over accidentally or shoved her to the ground.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAA

Either this is a problem or it's not!

I was at a lakefront park with my 4-year-old son. There was a mom with a boy and a girl, about 8 and 10. The mom wandered away up the shoreline and the daughter followed her. The boy stayed behind to throw rocks at the geese (they move really quick and he *never* came close to hitting one).

An elderly couple drove into the parking lot and cruised over to where I was sitting with my boy. The mister rolled down his window and told me I should stop my boy from throwing rocks at the geese.

I said "That's not my child" and the couple huffed and grumbled and drove back off again. I guess it wasn't important enough that they get out and do the deed themselves.

I figured, he's a boy, he's got bad aim, he's keeping himself occupied.

Merry Sunshine: Tainted1: You know what happens to young sociopaths?

Well that too, but to be sure thats situation is usually self correcting.

Dont fark with geese man, it will only earn you sorrow.

BigLuca: And even if she fully recovers from it, at that age an injury like that is often the start of a downward spiral in health that results in death or nursing home in the next couple years.

At least in that case five year old kids will be once again safe to harass geese in the park.

Don't touch other peoples kids for ANY reason... If ANYONE touches my boy, regardless of that persons age, they will be wearing a 6 foot 3, 250 pound, pissed off male.

There are no free passes for the aged or infirmed when touching others kids. Keep your gawdamn wrinkled paws to yourself.

To be fair, geese are assholes.

RoyBatty: The father sounds like he was trying to do the right thing, break up a fight.
The elderly woman sounds like she was trying to do the right thing, prevent an animal from being harassed.

Accidents happen.

Subby sounds like she was trying to be a coont.

biatch just got out of hospital and looking for some payback.

Agreed. I would take issue with any stranger grabbing my child by the neck in a hostile manner. That's unacceptable. Being an old woman doesn't give you an exception to do that.


WhyKnot: he was described as agitated and concerned, and his side of the story is "When he tried to get her away from the boy, she fell and hit her head".

I see a scenario where some old woman who is passionate about animals sees this kid, gets infuriated and decides to teach the kid a lesson. Then dad shows up and she realizes she's made a very bad mistake. He pushes her off of his kid as she tries to back away and she loses her balance and falls over. The dad is obviously pissed, but is aware that she's hurt and helps her to her car.

This.

If he'd really tried to "beat" her, he wouldn't have stuck around. I'm sorry she was seriously hurt, but she obviously chose to go home, not to the hospital, so the injuries weren't obvious, even to her.

I still don't think she should have touched the kid. Scold the kid, talk to the dad, but don't touch other people's kids unless someone is in immediate danger. How is an unarmed 5-year-old going to hurt a goose anyway? I'd guess she overreacted, dad pulled her off the kid, she fell.

now that is a cool story bro.
seriously, i'm still giggling

When I was 5 or six I once threw a rock at a duck. I was young and really didn't know any better and didn't think it was "bad" at the time. After my father damn near knocked me out with the hardest slap to the head I have ever felt and dragged me from the lake by my sideburns, I knew better. This father is an asshat to the 100th degree. That is all.

for your mistake and depending upon your age, you should either (a) be grabbed by the scruff of your neck, or (b) be shoved to the ground. Take your pick.

optikeye: The My Little Pony Killer: That 'dad' Goose is a spineless pussy.


Geese are evil, Ill tempered aggressive creatures and don't put up with any shait from humans.
A small child would run screaming from a Goose if the kid was really bothering it.
Geese are evil. Pure distilled Evil.

I was going to say this, but 85 comments in someone was bound to. I should start a newsletter on the evils of geese...

/lather, rinse, repeat
//where are all you concerned parents when your kids fark with wildlife?

I was in Central Park, NYC and some kid threw a rock off a small cliff and tagged a swan. I told the kid to cut it out, and his father came over all belligerent. I got in his face since I'm big and not bright, but he backed down.
He had a Cheech Marin accent and he said, "Woah, Charles Bronson."
Which cracked me up.

doglover: The man helped her to her car after the "Beating"

Yep. You'd think this would be a big red flag that maybe it's not so cut and dried as, "Bully father beats up 82-year-old lady," but heaven forbid you break up a perfectly good circle jerk.

Even more, the guy who came upon the scene also paints a picture that suggests the father did not intend to attack or harm this woman:

The father, whom Steele described as agitated and concerned

I've known old folks who were a little too free with their hands, acting as if they still lived in a world where any elder could freely lay hands on any child. It's not at all out of the question to imagine that this woman did so, the dad intervened, and he accidentally hurt her.

What happened before that is impossible to say. Kid being a little terror? Grumpy old lady overreacting to a kid because that's what grumpy old ladies do?

Can't say. But I can say that instantly jumping to "the father is an awful person" is pretty silly, given what little we have to go on.

Wouldn't happen to be this guy, would it?

Merry Sunshine:
//where are all you concerned parents when your kids fark with wildlife?

depends, what extend did the child actual fark with the wildlife? a little chasing to see the big birds run...not too worried. Actually causing harm (e.g. using a stick or rock against the geese), time to intervene.

The kid was 5, if the geese actually felt threatened (as opposed to just annoyed), they would have defended themselves and the 5 year old would have bolted. Hell, most adults will turn tail and run when a full grown goose gives chase.

kids learn more from their environment if they are actually allowed to play and interact with it than just watch it go by.

Only in Hateville on Awesome Day.

Define 'fark with'. I'm guessing the old biatch was having a "back in my day we didn't X the Y" moment.

AdolfOliverPanties: The My Little Pony Killer: Quasar: Not like I'll defend what the guy did, but I suspect that goose read the article more carefully than subby did.

Oh?

Later in the day she began feeling ill, Shyy said, and went to St. Mary's Medical Center. She was admitted with what police described as life-threatening injuries.

There is a difference between pushing a lady down because she had your son around the neck and beating the woman until she nearly dies.

I wasn't there, so I can't defend the father. But yeah, subby didn't read the article or really really wanted a green.

Shame really, most old ladies are easy to defeat. I remember once when I punched out Jessica Tandy. She went down harder than SkyLab.

But enough about your sex life.
