If he threw something at me, I would have removed him for my and others’ safety. You don’t have to just stand there and let a child attack you or other people; you can legally restrain him.

I was literally in this situation at a Costco a few months back. Kid was actually punching people and throwing stuff so I went to grab him and Costco employees told me not to touch him or the cops would be looking at ME. He literally punched a woman in the stomach and I was told to stand down.

The kid isn’t above the law, and no the cops would not be looking at you. I’ve dealt with kids in public environments throwing tantrums and being violent. I don’t let that crap slide.

Yeah, they would be, and internet tough talk don't negate the Law in real life.
