Where were the parents when this boy started a fire

The power parents have, regarding how badly they can screw up their own children, is staggering.

What's worse, who brainwashed this kid to harbor so much hatred?

10-Year-Old Anti-Trump Protester Starts Fire, Yells ‘Screw Our President’

I know liberals are the worst kind of people there are...

Seems like an objective article.

Do you really need posters to provide you a deluge of youtube videos of children of conservative parents doing the same kinds of things to protest Obama, or can we jump right to the "poor parenting is not partisan" conclusion?
 
That clip brought tears to my eyes. This will follow this young man for the rest of his life. I wonder who his parents are? Are they protesting against Trump being a fascist, hate monger, racists while letting their child resort to such an act of violence? How many were and are cheering this young man?
Makes me sick to my stomach.

Have I mentioned party or political leaning? If not, your post is mute. If you find another article or clip not mentioning leaning, post it.
If other kids have set fires before or during an inauguration, please post it.

Yes. You did. Read the articles you post beforehand. But please, feel free to answer my question.

Also, the word is "moot" not "mute".

Sad isn't it that someone so young is being brainwashed like that.

Whoever wrote the article btw is a moron. Let's hope he doesn't have kids, based on his thoughts in the article, goodness know what sort of nonsense he would be filling his childs head with. Absolute flogger who paints with a very wide brush.

Liberals should absolutely never be in charge of anything and that includes children.

The fact that people like this support the democrats is exactly why liberals will never win another national election. The rest of America is completely fed up with this leftist bull**** and there are way more normal people than liberal whackos.

The "author" of that trash-tabloid article is absolutely just as equally moronic as the parents of the kid in the video probably are.

No question there.

Of course all conjecture, but I don't think it would be difficult to answer who his parents likely are, and what they are likely doing there. The lessons they have taught appeared quite evident. As to others cheering? Count on it.

A life of incredible disappointment and trouble appear to be along the path he is being encouraged to take.

I assume you feel the same way about all the kids who did similar stuff when Obama was president.....right?
 
I posted AN article with youtube link because I couldn't find much on it at the time. So don't sweat the small stuff like my spelling or the author who felt compelled to report this, unless that is more important than a young man setting fires.
I could give a ....who is potus at the moment, or what political leanings the participants are. My concern is for the kid.
Otoh, if we want to explore why the kid is doing what he is doing, we have to explore if and why parents or friends have influenced the youngster. Are they condoning this behavior, or are they peaceful people who happen to have an unruly child?

Could you direct me to those news reports on children setting fires in the street and saying, "Screw the President" when Obama was inaugurated please?

Saw a clip of this future inmate.

Hard to imagine what will come from the collision from what appears to be the emerging personality of that kid, and I would assume, parents willing to indulge it.

The responsible party in this boy's behavior are his parents. And leftists wonder why our prisons are overflowing.

On the other hand, it's job security for our law enforcement community.

I heard (and had to discipline) students in the district I work explicitly using the word "nigger" to describe their new President. You can also find plenty of information about adults saying terrible things about the Obama children, which I think you would agree is worse.

Given your previous claim you have no allegiances to either side of the political aisle, I fully expect your acknowledgement of how awful it was for the Obamas to have to endure that kind of hatred as well.

You offer as your example of the abuse suffered by the Obama daughters the reader comments at a news site. Give me a break. There is a reason why most online news outlets no longer offer reader comments: In the anonymity of the Internet, any cretin or freak with a screen name can post vicious, unhinged abuse.

Any attack on politicians' children is awful and inexcusable. But your example is of so-called adults posting on the Internet. This thread is about a little boy among the protestors in D.C. Very different situation.

And I'm really tired this morning, from both sides of the aisle, of all the "Yeah, but what about ____ (insert other party)." Somebody actually asked me earlier today "Did you also consider Daniel Ellsberg to be a traitor for his release of the Pentagon Papers?" :doh

Hamas also instills hatred in the hearts of their children and I see no difference between them and most liberal protesters.

:roll:

Who do you compare conservative parents to when they instill hatred into their children? ISIS maybe?

I think the treatment that Obama had to endure from racist losers was lousy. And the way people treated the his daughters, and the Bush twins, and Chelsea Clinton, and Amy Carter, and so on....pathetic and terrible. Unfortunately adults are so damn partisan that it makes them crazy.

But I don't recall anti-Obama people encouraging their pre-teens to start protest fires. Maybe those incidents went unreported by the press....but that's highly doubtful.
