its not appropriate for a man regardless of age to attack a child but it is very appropriate for a father to protect his child.
The elderly man volunteered as an escort to walk people from the sidewalk to the door through the gauntlet of protesters who don't know what the individual appointments are for (PAP smear, STD testing, birth control or abortion). There is no account but Houck's own that any child was involved - why would a child be there in the first place? There is a police account as well as hospital records that Houck assaulted the old man.
The man was in the child's face would not back off and the father pushed him, I would have done the same and so would most fathers. Under the law assault is physical contact that can include the placing of your hand on another person, lets not make something out of nothing.
That is Houck’s story but it doesn’t make much sense. The man was escorting patients so how did he manage to get in anyone’s face? Protesters are legally required to keep their distance. Why, if the story is accurate, was the boy’s face in the old guy’s way? Houck reportedly assaulted him twice in the same day. What corroboration is there for Houck’s account? The old man was hospitalized as a result of Houck’s assault on him.
How many days was the ‘old man’ hospitalized for? You said he was hospitalized. Which means being an inpatient. Details please.
Still asking you for details considering you said he was hospitalized. What is your source? Is he still hospitalized? You seem to have information on his hospitalization the rest of us are not privy to.
He assaulted the old man twice in the same day.
I thought that I had read that "B.L." had been hospitalized, but now I can only find that he had to get "medical attention". Houck did shove the old man down to the ground twice in the same day.
You said this ‘old man’ had been hospitalized. Just looking for clarity in your claim he was hospitalized.
So you have backed away from your claim that some ‘old man’ has been hospitalized. Do you have any information on the extent of his ‘medical attention’?
As I said before, I thought and still think that I read that he was hospitalized but I may be mistaken. No, I don't know how extensive his injuries were - why don't you look it up if you're so interested?
Uh-huh. Do you really think that post-70 is middle-aged?
HIPAA regulations mean that unless this old man releases the information himself about any medical treatment it is unavailable. So there is nothing to look up. Which is why I asked you what your source was.
80 is the new 60.
I have an idea of the kind of things said and those things would not go over well posted in CF. I do not know the specifics of what was said because such things are impolite and not typically repeatable in any but the more vulgar media outlets.
