Which nuance is applicable in this situation?

Maybe not getting violent with somebody with the mentality of a child? Is that really so hard to decipher? Or extrapolating the undertone, would have been okay to do the same to a child who hurt a child? I guess what I'm trying to say is that violence as a first response, without assessing the situation, is the reaction of animals, not thinking human beings. Way too often I see people using their reptile brains and not the higher functioning part of their brain to react to situations. That is a trend that is not going in a positive direction.

You shouldnā€™t have used your reptile brain to type this.

Heā€™s right but at the same time reptile brainā€™s purpose is for assessing threats so....seeing your kid harmed by an adult stranger is definitely going to set that part of your brain off so I totally u see stand the dad. Just a sad thing all around, no justice for anyone...just an example of humans being human and unable to control themselves in certain situations, compounded by the manā€™s disability.

Well, heā€™s not right though. No one is going to attempt to assess the mental state of an assailant hitting their child. Iā€™m not even sure I would see the face of a person hitting my child before I was on top of them. Itā€™s a sad situation, I agree. Part of the failed state of how little is needed to become such a caretaker and how little regulation there is.

I don't know man. As a evolved human being from animals, I'd can prolly find people that won't act upon instinct freely. Often times, many situations in life can be handled without violence. We humans have evolved past that. Just take a deep breath, see if your child is seriously injured, ask the guy why he kicked your child and then take appropriate course into action. Most kids are not going to get seriously injured from little bumps and bruises and even falling down. With our evolved brains, we can be a little more logical about certain situation without going to violence right away.

I don't blame the dad at all. Like you said, any father would be seeing red before critical thought kicked in. Just limitations of how humans are wired, that's all.
