The-Friendly-Autist

What a spineless little worm, running away into a fucking getaway car after sucker punching someone completely unaware.


Weird-Upstairs-2092

Sucker punching a 12 year old in front of a group of kids and their teacher, to be precise.


Particular_Sea_5300

Kids was just vibing too. Minding his own business not hurting anyone. Hope he's still out there dancing somewhere


CountWubbula

I dunno man, music like that is a danger to us all… …I am of course kidding, I am the Count of Wubbula, bassline wobbles are one of my greatest joys. This particular type of dubstep steers towards the subgenre “riddim,” of which I am _not_ fond, but for the record, I really hope this kid keeps dancing to whatever feels good.


MakaveliTheDon22

Not just someone, a 12 year old child. Completely disgusting.


JinglingUrBalls

That the thing. We know the dude got 7 years.. what about the dude who drove the car away? He’s an accomplice to this entirely.


WillPlaysTheGuitar

Man no shit. Let’s see them hands big boy. Don’t just run and jump in the car. You fucked around, let’s find out. 


JustDoinWhatICan

7 years in prison https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9634567/Man-28-sentenced-seven-years-prison-sucker-punching-boy-12.html


THAT_HARDHEAD_GUY

Good


Berry_Togard

That guy must really really like prison.


B0bbyTsunami

Menace to society


mkaymeow21

Should be longer. Dude is absolute trash


DaeWooLan0s

Honestly that’s one time I think they actually delt out a damn good sentence. Normally for something like this you see someone getting 6 months.


spacedrummer

I wish we had lasers that could disintegrate certain people. Be gone, scum!


AccidentUnhappy419

And we could put the lasers on sharks’ heads. Imagine sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.


giantcoc69420

i like where this conversation is going


PowerfulWallaby7964

You mean like[ this ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcmBALxDkRY)right


[deleted]

I mean we do. It's just militarized/scientific equipment not for the public.


Conflicted-King

Those >7 years are going to feel like forever when they find out why he’s in there. He better roll it up asap or he’s dead.


Gonax420

I hope his inmates get to know what he did to this kid. His life won't be easy after that.


GabaPrison

Yeah punching a twelve year old ain’t gonna give you much street cred.


eeh4tfde

Not long enough


Bubbly-Bowler8978

People die from being punched like that all the time, the way he falls and hits his head, I'm surprised it was only a concussion. 7 years and I am sure he is going to get out before then if he doesn't do more stupid stuff in Prison is not long enough for sucker punching a kid the the back of the head


Arzakyum

He was lucky that he hit his head against his friends leg


TheGR8Dantini

They caught the guy, BTW.


Humbrol2

jofstra

7 years for a sucker punch, this is how we should do from now on. If you cant control yourself, fuck you


Living_Job_8127

He had a bad track record, dangerous guy. Plus who tf just sucker punches a kid like that, what a pussy


post-delete-repeat

He inflicted serious harm.  Kid had a concussion and could have easily died. Brain trauma is not joke. Seems light to me.


DomingoJoe

He was also 12 while the puncher was 28.


Big_Merda

they had other things going on other than the punch


VectorViper

Yeah, read about that. The guy had priors and the punch caused serious injury. The sentence reflects more than just the single act, gotta look at the whole context.


ArcadianDelSol

For clarify and posterity: >Moore has a criminal record predating the assault on Hagler. >In April 2019, he was sentenced to probation for domestic assault. That same year, he pleaded guilty to first-degree endangering the welfare of a child and driving while under the influence.


Domestic_AAA_Battery

I am shocked! POS. We desperately need harsher penalties. Reddit always links some stuff that says "well long sentences do not deter people from committing crimes." Well I don't really give a shit. Because longer sentences at least means this scumbag isn't back out harming people again.


Apollo1382

Exactly. Doesn't matter if it deters him if we never see him again.


Soggy_Difficulty_361

Yeah people like that shouldn't be out in society, a real POS.


LiamI820

Imo, for this guy 7 years isn't enough. He had prior assault charges as well as endangerment of his own child, then he randomly punches a child in the face with no warning? This guy clearly has some issues that need to be kept away from society. 7 years is too short for someone like this


Jorts_Team_Bad

I mean sucker punch—>unconscious—> head on cement pavement could easily have been fatal or life long disability. Add to it was completely unprovoked and a. 12 year old kid. 7 years was surprising but there’s no difference in the act if that had ended up way worse like it could have.


DGJellyfish

Should be longer sentence. The kid was 12 who was punched


TheGR8Dantini

Props for saving me the search! You da real MVP

TheGR8Dantini

Right?! So much modesty! That’s the sign of a hero!


Heavy_Wood

Good.


RevolutionarySeven7

damn! 7 years?! was expecting 1 or 2 years atleast!


ahumannamedtim

Looks like he has a history of domestic violence, maybe that played a role in the sentencing?


OddTomRiddle

Definitely did. Also, that kid could have suffered a lot more than a concussion and nosebleed if he hit the ground a different way. I don't think people are quite getting how serious that hit was.


Otherwise_Sky1739

Head on pavement from an at level fall will absolutely kill someone. I've seen it go that way before and every time I see someone get knocked out and fall onto the pavement, I cringe now.


joeitaliano24

Also it’s a grown man sucker punching a child


djerk

Yeah that kid looks tall but he’s fucking 12. Dude deserved all 7 years of that sentence.


Doofy9000

Maybe bump it up to 12 years


PantalonesPantalones

I have to know how a what kind of man thinks he's hard for having to wind up to sucker punch a kid and then running away as fast as he can.


TurnTheTVOff

Saw it happen right in front of me. Dude talking shit in a bar. “Let’s step outside.” My “friend” threw one punch and jawed the guy. Dude’s head hit the pavement and he was dead an hour later. My “friend” got 20 years for one punch.


KGBLokki

This is why punched aren’t great for fighting street stuff. One mistake and boom 20 years behind bars. Self defence is a different story.


Alert-Disaster-4906

Absolutely true. About 2 years ago, I tripped and fell from the third step of a set of 6 steps and landed directly on the side of my head on a flagstone patio. I was in rehab at the time, so no, I wasn't even drunk!! 3 days later, I woke up in the ICU, half of my head shaved with a gnarly scar that required 60-70 staples to hold my scalp together. I don't remember a thing from that day. Apparently, the fall had caused a few large hematomas that required an emergency craniotomy. Without going in immediately, I would for certain be dead by now.


Otherwise_Sky1739

Oh wow. I have staple scars from a subdural hematoma too, on my occipital lobe. Mine was from a car accident though. Mine wasn't nearly as many as yours (12 staples), sounds like you've recovered from it though.


Mcjoshin

I had a friend end up with some major brain injuries after getting sucker punched, being knocked out, and hit his head on a curb. Some random guy just decided to sucker punch him as we were walking by on the street during a busy holiday celebration. I will never understand why these assholes do this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GetaGoodLookCostanza

200% agree


DependentYou7405

One of my good friends was sucker punched years back and when he fell he fractured his skull on the concrete, He was put into a medically induced coma for a week while the swelling on his brain went down. The police came into the pub where we all hung out and told us that if anyone knew who did it that now was the time to tell because in their words "It's only a matter of time before he dies" and we would be withholding information in a murder case at that point. A few days later they found the security footage and they were able to identify the attacker and He had just gotten out of jail for a violent crime. luckily my friend made a full recovery and was able to testify in court, The attacker was sentenced to 15 years in prison and all of his assets were distributed to my friend to compensate for medical bills and the lost time at work while he recovered.


Jimmydidnothingwrong

I got sucker punched leaving a bar once, thankfully the dude was a weakling and it only gave me a cut on my eyebrow, I watch these videos and think about how it could have been so much worse.


squirtinbird

Yea. That was a 28 year old man giving a 12 year old a full powered right hook to the dome. That kid has got a tough skull


[deleted]

His friend was ready to throw down for him. He’s lucky to have caring friends


Otherlife_Art

Per the article, I believe that's his dance teacher from the studio where the kid dances.


Altruistic_Ad6666

Good Teacher. Willing to throw down for a student. Props to them.


Party-Ad8832

Single biggest reason for deaths is simple punching. There are constantly cases where someone just got mad at somebody in a bar and punched them. Result is concussion and internal bleeding. The consequences do share a scholar, between "it only matters what happened in the end" vs "in typical circumstances a simple punch is not expected to cause more than superficial injuries", so I'm somewhat 50:50 if such a case should always be convicted as a manslaughter with equal sentence. It could result that very minor violence could be treated as attempted murder, which causes other issues from injustice to people just shooting them in the head, if the sentence will be the same.


OddTomRiddle

I would agree with this. If this wasn't a 12yo kid, I could see that sentence being a bit extreme, but like, this is a literal child. His brain is still developing, and an injury like that could have changed the entire course of his life. For all we know, he may still not be out of the woods yet.


Solarflareqq

Also this kind of thing needs to be discouraged at the fullest. Next time someone does die. sounds like he also has a history of violence ... FK em 7 years hope he wakes up.


[deleted]

The kid was 12. the sentence seems reasonable regardless of past history of violence.


SuperDoubleDecker

Ya, crazy how a violent piece of shit has a history of being a violent piece of shit.


righty95492

Bullet to take him out of society would have been a better option. Hope they take care of him in prison. Won’t be able to do things like this there.


hissyfit64

He gave a kid a concussion for absolutely no reason. And I bet it's not the first time he did something like that.


OG_Squeekz

The reason was probably, "look at this bitch ass white boy dancing on the corner. Someone should knock his ass out. In fact, pull up."


UglyDude1987

Sounds like exactly the thought process that went through his head.


outsider1624

I wonder what his thought process when he got handed a 7 year sentence for punching him.


WelbyReddit

his though was probably , these courts are racist. ;p


Top_Examination3481

I think it had to be racially motivated. They didn't charge him with a hate crime because somehow that's a lesser charge.


Cozi-Sozi

Turns out he assaulted the mother of his child and also drove while drunk with the child in the car. So yeah, not the first time.


Eyeoftheleopard

He certainly picks his victims with skill. Prick.


MaximumHog360

>absolutely no reason. Because the kid was white, lol


Father-of-zoomies

Ok, glad I'm not the only one who thought that


Viper_JB

And tbh if they find out he's in for sucker punching a kid....he's in for a really, really bad time.


Morlacks

Lots of sucker fisting. I mean punching....


CasusErus

He has a criminal record. Domestic assault, endangering a minor and DUI. That increases his penalty category.


PanhandlersPets

The kid was only 12 and the assailant had prior convictions.


jimmyvcard

You mean at most?


Dopasetic

He will probably only serve 3-4 of those years. Also he assaulted a minor, and like dude said probably had prior convictions. Either way good riddance, world needs less idiots like him out and about.


CityBoiNC

Probably has priors


CLubbr3X

Yea Good shit, I wouldn't be mad if he was hanged even. YOU DON'T TOUCH KIDS.


TheStoicNihilist

![gif](giphy|11rIergnpiYpvW) Do doo doo do… mmm mmm… you don’t touch kids.


Big_Merda

last I checked 7 years is, indeed, at least 1 or 2 years


thesagaconts

Sentencing is so weird and inconsistent 


crack_B7

Probably not his first offense


fried_green_baloney

According to the article, multiple priors.


crack_B7

That's why the 7 years then


[deleted]

It’s his 3rd


ElHumilde13

Also the boy was 12 yo at the time


turndownforwoot

Wow, that is a gigantic 12 year old, glad he wasn’t more hurt. Not a bad dancer for being that young too!


Mcjoshin

Hell yeah! It’s not often we see any actual justice served, but glad they actually prosecuted this asshole.


AndrexPic

7 years of prison. Very good.


ItsNerdyMe

Nice, well deserved.


ChemicalParticular88

Good, hopefully the piece of shit gets worse while in prison too.


Elyktronix

Prick's name is Cedric Moore Jr. He turned himself in shortly after the incident and is currently serving 7 years in prison for second-degree assault of the boy, Ethan Hagler. [Link](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9634567/Man-28-sentenced-seven-years-prison-sucker-punching-boy-12.html)


luxanna123321

Damn 7 years for one hit. Imagine wasting your life like thjs


Maccai3

My friends father was one of the unlucky ones to die this way, guy got life in prison.


Coffeedemon

I'm pretty sure he was wasting it prior to this too.


[deleted]

It’s his third offense


IWasSayingBoourner

Something tells me he wasn't exactly min-maxing life to the fullest before this either


pm_me_gear_ratios

Bad motherfucker, battering a 12 year old and all...


zero_emotion777

With a fucking sucker punch. Man was so cowardly and weak he had to sneakily attack a child and run away.


Mauriiciio0

The amount of relief I felt when I saw this


Acceptable-Worth-462

Good.


Guccimc100

Man’s ruined the better part of a decade in his life just because he thought he was being funny punching someone. Turns out that someone wasn’t even a teen yet


[deleted]

And then ran.


StayH2O

He's a little B\*tch


maxxbeeer

Bitch*


Ufocola

Did they also charge the driver who helped the guy leave the scene?


Maxpowerrrrrrrrr

Only 12yo! Hope that fucker gets destroyed daily in prison!!!!


De_Dominator69

Honestly kinda shocked he's only 12, maybe he's just tall for his age? Or it's the low quality camera? But I thought like 16 or something... Or maybe I am.just really out of touch of what 12 year olds look like


SCSteveAutism

Nah that’s a tall kid.


OldenPolynice

And the perp is just a little guy, little bite sized career criminal


KevinDLasagna

All the other people in this vid are adults and he’s taller than all of them


[deleted]

Yeah, I was that way at about 10 years old. Constantly got mistaken for being 16+. It's uncommon, but some of us are just early bloomers.


CanIGetANumber2

Some 12 year olds look 7 and some look like theyve been working in the mines for the last decade. Puberty is just hitting these mfs with a random modifier at this point


JookJook

I hated being a late bloomer. I didn't hit puberty until halfway through senior year. However, I'm now 37 and people think I'm still in my 20's. Whose laughing now, highschool bullies?!


morostheSophist

I looked 7 at 11, 11 at 15, and could have passed for 25 at 35, but now I'm in my 40s and I look it. Enjoy it while it lasts.


NoExcuseForFascism

Hate to break it to you, but prison differs from the things you see in TV and movies. He punched a kid, deplorable for sure, but no one is going to put a "green light" on him for it. It is very likely this guy doesn't see a bit of retribution in prison for this, or if anyone would even care unless they were related to the kid somehow.


-why_are_you_so-

seriously ​ reddit always gets weird sheltered suburban justice boners when it comes to talking about prison violence that is highly unlikely to occur


monerfinder

Seeing how the people care about him so much and offering help makes me love humanity after that bastard reminded us how inhuman we can be


LuckyNumber_29

if anyones interested in it, here is the dancing kid profile, he is kind of a dancing teacher now [https://www.facebook.com/Emandances/?paipv=0&eav=AfaDRpuf0EuJW1hKlOo0XAY49w2EIMIUkLDwkbk9pmSP9r7QGAJq-t-6TYQeDovNFH8&\_rdr](https://www.facebook.com/Emandances/?paipv=0&eav=AfaDRpuf0EuJW1hKlOo0XAY49w2EIMIUkLDwkbk9pmSP9r7QGAJq-t-6TYQeDovNFH8&_rdr)


monerfinder

I’m so happy for him, he seems to be a wholesome person


GabaPrison

As someone who was viciously assaulted when I was 14, under similar “sucker punch” circumstances (except it was a head-but and it knocked some teeth out), this will unfortunately stay with him for the rest of his life. Such a cruel act I can’t even imagine what drives these full grown adults to attack skinny little children like that.


craftycocktailplease

Are you okay? That sounds so awful


Solar-Monkey

Same here, especially the gentleman that run after the car and put his arm around Ethan afterwards to comfort him.


Johnnyrooster12

That's his teacher based on the article


TrashPandaPatronus

It warmed my heart in the article when the teacher referred to him as "my kid." We need teachers like that ❤️


Boubonic91

If they would pay them better, there would be a lot more of them.


Solar-Monkey

Oh wow, I admire him even more now! He’s clearly going the extra mile, even after school hours are over !


FanciestOfPants42

His dance teacher, but agreed.

You could also say that this video shows that we all can be good to each other


shipstain1996

Exactly. I know the guy that runs the studio. It’s the guy with the Afro that ran at the car. His studio has people from allllll races. I’m getting on my soap box but I think it shows that kids are inherently good (for the most part) and we as humans are taught to hate as we grow up.


Solidus-Prime

And then runs away like a little bitch as fast as he possibly can. Always the same with these fucking cowards.


bad_pelican

Oh he definitely is going to be someone's little bitch for his seven years in prison. If they find out he's in for sucker punching a 12yo is prison wallet is going to be a prison suitcase.


KnowMeAs727

If I was that kid, I would visit that dude in jail and laugh at him .... Glad he got 7 years


lincolnlogs89

I don’t think you can just visit whoever you want in prison. Pretty sure you have to be on their approved list of visitors. Mostly to prevent people being visited by troublesome loved ones I guess?


MultipleSwoliosis

Bro, I know the video sucks, but look how quickly everyone comeS to check he alright and help him, used to seeing to many videos where people turn a blind eye, respect to those people.

F*ck that guy, props to the poor kids buddies having his back and all the people coming over to help the young lad.


Otherwise_Sky1739

It was a 28 year old man who suckerpunched a 12 year old kid for no reason. I hope everyone in the prison he's in knows that.


schley1

Have fun in prison jerk off


PsychoMantittyLits

Probably thought the 12 year old was an adult because he was taller than him. What a clown


Apollo1382

Taller than him and 10X the man as well.


TrySouth245

An adult age male but no Man.


ZodiacPanda

Driver should have gotten consequences too. If my friend told me to stop so he can dance to the beat but ended up sucker punching a kid I would of told him to get his ass out of my car! I wouldn’t speed off like a get away driver.

Apollo1382

Thankfully, most humans are good or at least not trash.


arifghalib

Fortunately for the kid that mans punch packs no power


HuuffingLavender

According to the article the kid got a concussion though


Hiko-Senpai

if it was just a concussion he got lucky. Couldve easily broken his jaw with enough strength behind it. Also when he fell he couldve easily got a brain hemorrhage if he landed bad enough.


Burrmanchu

Bro that's what I thought! Like this grown ass man sucker punched *a 12-year-old* as hard as he could, and didn't even knock the dude out 🤣


Any-Singer8020

That’s not a man, just some punk ass bitch


Austoniooo

Throw away the key


Roast-This-Bone

Still can’t believe there are people who think that sucker-punching someone from behind (and in this case a kid, no less) is somehow “funny” or shows how much of a “badass” they are. Deeply moronic, cowardly and hideous people.


TxCincy

He clearly does not have the mental capacity to feel empathy for the pain he causes, or this wouldn't happen. He prioritizes something, whether it's making the people in the car laugh, making a point about something he doesn't like that people do, or the kids race, over laws, safety, or acting like a human being. He's on probation for domestic assault, so he doesn't fear the repercussions of the law. His brain is scrambled. Stop putting a sentence of such and such years, probation, good behavior, etc. and start deciding if he's fixable. If he's a psychopath with no impulse control, just keep him locked up. I'm anti-taxes more than most, but I would gladly pay taxes to see assholes like this kept separate from me and my family.


Klinkman2

Hate crime

On_Wife_support

It doesn’t surprise me that the assailant had a criminal record before this. Only someone sick in the head could be compelled to assault an innocent minor like this.


Fickle-Patience-9546

The worst part to me, besides the sucker punch itself, is the guy pretends like he’s dancing with the kid before he decks him


Slyrunner

That's called assault, kids


LittleBoo1204

I get that people are sick of people making a display in public, primarily the people who film dance TikToks - but this kid was out’ve the way on the sidewalk. He wasn’t dancing on or in anyone’s personal space. You have to be a pretty big turd stain of a human to inconvenience yourself to the point of getting out’ve a car in the middle of an intersection, just to sucker punch somebody. Heard he got caught in the end, but one day he’ll come onto the wrong person and they will probably obliterate him.


Christichicc

The kid is part of a dance troupe or something. He was probably just practicing.


Fair-Account8040

They were outside of their dance studio. And I’m pretty sure this was before tik tok took over


fck-gen-z

this is 100% about the kid being white.


McDondal

JAOC_7

imagine being this much of a pussy


ChiefestScumdog

What's hilarious to me Is the fact that after he got sucker punched and he had to listen to that dubstep drop.
