68 year old man punches random kids at Wal-Mart, jailed

Link

The 68-year-old grandfather accused of punching random children in a Northwest Side Walmart remained in jail after his first court appearance yesterday.

...

Conone was held Wednesday night at the Walmart at 2700 Bethel Rd. after a 6-year-old boy complained to his mother that Conone had punched him in the back of the head. The woman followed Conone out of the store, grabbed his arm, led him back inside and notified security.

Police said a review of the store's surveillance video not only confirmed the punching of the boy but also revealed blows to his 7-year-old brother and two other boys.

...

Conone told police he would put his keys between his fingers and strike the children when their parents weren't looking. He said he'd been doing it since January because he liked the excitement of getting away with it.

WTF?

Happened in Wal Mart. Not surprised at this...Engrish_Major

It's the penance for low low prices?spazzx625

[QUOTE="spazzx625"] It's the penance for low low prices?Engrish_Major

i'm guessing the old guy has mental problems of some sort o_O

what a crazy old man

They should change that adage to "you can't have your incredibly low prices and not get punched with a key-fist" Rolls off the tongue much betterspazzx625

That's a messed up story but it kind of made me chuckle. What a d-bag he punched them for no reason. It would've been better if he had punched them for being spoiled brats. I'm pretty sure most of us here has been to the store and seen some whiny little spoiled brat with their parents and tought "Damn I want to punch this kid in the face".

Leave him alone.

He only wants to act young again.

Sounds like a good retirement hobby to me:lol:

Anyways, it is funny how these things wor. I bet the man has some sort of dementia or something and if he was at a nursing home he would get away with this.

I work at a nursing home and occassionally the residents DO get violent and we are expected not to retalliate and they face no real consequence for hitting us....

WTF?

I thought I was the only one who felt that way when posting xD

Wouldn't kids tell their parents or show them where they got hit?

A People of Wal-Mart pic of the old man mid punch wouldve been the icing on the cake.

Now I'm picturing him in full clown garb.... So yes, a little. It also makes it exponentially more terrifying, too, though.
