Article : Comrades runner takes the Mickey

It was a bit silly grabbing it, but failing to return it is ridiculous. Lay a charge. Bastard's lucky a parent didn't jump over and tackle him as a thief on site.
 
Why do parents alow their kids to wave their toys and items of intense sentimental value on the street in a very public event. Of course "accidents" like this will happen.

Because children usually want to have these things with them. It's just the way they are. Let's put the blame where it belongs on an adult who is clearly an ass.

Yeah, the kid's parents for being irresponsible.
 
I was trying to do an Islamic interpretation on this complicated situation since everything involves Allah so the best solution I could figure out was The bear should be returned minus its head.

Durban - Controversial Comrades runner, Tshokela Maphori, is in hot water again - this time for allegedly snatching a pair of pink ear muffs from a 10-year-old girl’s head during Sunday’s race.

The Grade 5 pupil had bought them for the Johannesburg leg of the Justin Bieber concert with money she earned doing household chores.

On Tuesday the Daily News reported that Maphori admitted to taking a Mickey Mouse stuffed toy from a five-year-old child in Durban during the race, saying that it had been offered to him.

The Limpopo runner was going down Josiah Gumede (Old Main) Road in Pinetown, when he removed the ear muffs from Ryanne Toll’s head and placed them on his head, her angry mother said.

Maphori said on Tuesday he was still wearing the ear muffs to keep warm in the icy Limpopo winter.

“I got it from a little girl on the road. She gave it to me. It keeps my ears warm,” he said. “I have the pink thing and Mickey Mouse in my bedroom.”

Unreal. :(
 
Now I understand, if a thief steals something from my child it's my fault for taking things outside our home. Remember this folks, if you get mugged it's your own fault.

Next year I suggest someone take a long something pretty made of razor blades. Let this twit get his hands shredded when he attempts his next theft.

Tshokela Maphori's obviously a bit dimwitted based on his comments to newspapers.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick here, it's already been said that it is very common for a child to have a favorite toy with them, someone snatching a kids toys is the problem, not the other way round.
 
Are there really some stupid *******s on this forum blaming the parents and child or am I missing something?
