I second that.

Anyways, that kid deserves a punch to the face. What if they serve tacos on his first day at Juvy?

The incident itself is mildly amusing. But yeah, the post would have been much better with just the headline and a link to the article. There's such a thing as "trying too hard".

That's what she gets for trying to unplug his SEGA.

I disagree, not to defend him, but it could have been much worse than assault with a deadly taco. lmao. I mean, come on. Most people inflate the reason they are calling when they are mad, I doubt he laid a finger on her other than throwing a taco at her...

lmao... Sorry but that is just too much.

Haha. How could you not find that funny. The kid got arrested for assault with a taco ffs. I think this warrants some ridicule. A waste of police time if you ask me. First tacos then what, sporks?

How is that not funny?! Sure its a bit sad from the perspective that this woman expects the State to discipline her son since she obviously hasn't.

"...every night I try to change it up, on Thursday we have Mexican, I think it gives the kids a better sense of the world around them. Civilized, if you will ... Oh, sorry for the digression."

LMAO

"He went ahead and hit me with the taco and I got taco all over my shirt and kitchen. I’ve threatened to call police before. But anyway this time, I thought he went too far so I called police and he's in jail now."

Does anyone else find it hilarious that it was the taco that was the final straw? All the other stuff previously she was willing to let slide, but DON'T MESS WITH MY MOTHERF*$^ING TACOS YOU LITTLE ASS!

That sentence made me think that he assaulted her with tacos before, and that this particular taco was reason enough to call the police. Don't forget that he slapped her on the wrist too! That's almost an 'Indian Rug-burn!'

Thanks for the dispatch transcript Xav. It definitely added to the humor of an already ridiculous occurrence.

@ Xeneocidic He won't work, won't go to school, pushing things to the limit as far as the violence" He needs a beating, well the bastard went to jail & he's living with his Mother, that kid doesn't know life, with all it's faults & happiness intact. He attacks the woman who put a roof over his head. Now i'm not saying these things so I can show mean, i'm just saying this cuz this kids a real punk. Perhaps you don't understand that.

Obviously that mom messed up when raising her kid."Mexican Night," wow come on..if you're trying to get your kids to come downstairs for MEXICAN NIGHT instead of playing their SEGA GAMEBOX then you're a pretty sad parent. She was probably one of those moms who put their kid in time out when he/she started wrecking everything at their local jewel. parents need to learn how to use THE BELT.

I like the mother's ignorance. The article is refering to an Xbox 360, but the mother calls it a Sega, and then a Microsoft Gamebox.

Just like my mom,she refers to every game device I own as a "Nintendo".

Is it just me or does the mother not sound pretentious? I think she deserves a taco in the face just for being that smug! I hope next time he bitch smacks her with a half pound bean burrito.

Nah, not smug, just off-color.

LOLWUT? Seriously? Thursday Night Ortega == Rhodes Scholars? What about Chef Boyardee, does that help them with their physics courses?

Meh. Whatever happened to a good old fashioned spanking? Hell, I got beat as a kid, and look how *I* turned out! Wait, bad example...

Did anyone else notice that when ever a kid gets violent over parents taking away his console he's American? Sure a Canadian kid got mad but he just ran off and fell out of a tree to his death, still he never attacked anyone over it.

Meanwhile the 911 operator can't take the call about a real crime because a parent can't handle getting a taco thrown at them, I.E wait for Dad to get home or don't feed the little bastard until he learns to respect that food given given from your parents is a gift not to be taken lightly. Example: (Parent)Dinner ready. (Child) I'm busy.(Parent) Now or the dog gets your dinner tonight and tomorrow and you can have his food.

When I was 19, I was in my 2nd year at college. It's lame to be alegal adult, sponge off of your parents, and have such little respect for them that you assault & throw food at them. He should goto school, get a job, or get the hell out of their house. He's aloser.
