I just told a kid to knock off some crappy behaviour the other day, had the parent attempt to give me crap over it and threw it right back on them.
I was exiting a store in the South Trail area when I saw a kid kicking at some bushes. As I got closer I saw that there was a rabbit cowering underneath. I yelled "Hey, cut that out!" at the kid. He gave me a typical sh!11y kid look and almost instantly his dad who was by the car told me to mind my own business. I said "Your kid was trying to kick a defenseless animal. I'm making it my business." Of course, the dad tells me to F off and puffs out his chest like he's a tough guy. He starts strutting over to me like he's going to fight me and I stated "I don't think your kid is old enough to drive you to the emergency room." His face drops and I can see the wheels turning in his head as he tries to think of a retort. Before he can speak I say "Abuse of animals is a warning sign that a kid is on the road to being a sociopath. Parent your kid." I got in my car and drove away. I'm pretty sure the guy told the back of my car to F off when I was pulling away.
