I like Cramer, He is standing up to unruly punks that I see all the time. I see juveniles act like this all the time. If they don't park there, it's the handicap spots. I see more and more people starting to park in the handicap parking spaces, it's like they think they are special. I was brought up to respect my elders as well as others, If the parents don't teach them at home, then people like Cramer will have to do it for them. Cramer I hope if this goes to trail that I am on that jury... keep up the good work on teaching these kids what their parents were too lazy to do themselves....

Unfortunate for both parties. Hopefully a lesson learned for the teen, which he should've learned a long time ago. As Cramer said it's not worth it, but maybe it inspires this and other teens to reflect on the results of their actions and implications.

A sign of the times... another extension of the "me" syndrome... So much for courtesy, respect and just plain old caring for fellow humans.

My children are still in the elementary and middle school years. My children address adults by "sir" or "mr", as do most of their friends. It's a good start, but there's only so much we can control once they get out of the house.

Kristi, You reported in your article that the witnesses said that the juvenile didn't make 'any physically threatening moves". not that the teens didn't use any threats... Their is a difference, I would bet that everything happened just as reported in the report, I would also bet that the teens were also to blame, i'm sure that the "punk" kids gave just as much or more mouth then Cramer did. The only reason Cramer got arrested is that he grabbed one of them.. (which he needed to do)

I agree with what "the dish" said

And then the old geezer said "I'm gonna quarter-pound yer face!" And the young whipper snapper said "I'd like to see you fry!!" So gramps gave him a shake and kicked him in the nuggets. The end.

I bet The Dish thinks he/she is real, real smart. And that they like the sound of their own voice better than anyone else's.

"Cramer then walked back inside and asked the juvenile if he was that disrespectful to his father."

If my father acted like you, you'd be damn sure I would treat him with disrespect.

The -only- thing this..ahem...gentlemen should have done was to alert the staff that someone was parked in the spot. He's not an employee and had absolutely no reason to confront the kid.

I'm kind of surprised to see people defending the guy here. Everything that happened was a direct result of HIS actions. All he had to do was tell the staff. Not have a mental break down and assault some kid. Kid's a punk? Guess what, you're a grown adult. Grown adults don't throw tantrums in a fast food restaurant and grab peoples necks. Egotistical fools do.

ice pick the sidewall of their tire and leave.

My god, it is absolutely depressing reading how all of you are making excuses for these punks and hiding behind "he's a grown man, he should have known better." These "kids" were driving, they are old enough to know better too. Instead they acted like punks and someone called them on it. Probably long overdue.

Was it right for the teen to park in the Drive-Thru Only spot?
Was it a good idea for the wife to approach the teens and ask if they failed to see the sign?
Should the teens have responded disrespectfully?
Even if Cramer was simply defending his wife should he have threatened dismemberment and anal corking?
Did they really need to continue arguing over something so petty and stupid?
Is a McGriddle better than a McMuffin?
Did the teen have to instigate being punched?
Did Cramer need to grab the teen by the neck?
By grabbing his neck did that teach the teen how to respect others?
Was Kramer vs Kramer really that good of a movie?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions you failed.

Epic fail on both sides .

Since the police were there anyway, how about towing the punks car. After all it was illegally parked. Now that would have been a learning experience for the mouthy punk.

This is great, i am really enjoying reading these comments...They make me laugh.... Let me guess something.. Democrates- Kristi, Jon, Dis interested, Wally... Republicans- Cowboy, the Dish, Dacula O... Independants- Mitch, david... undecided- MK Osborne... Am I right ? ps. 47% of you may not like my comment...........

Lord, please help our society. I'm not saying Cramer was right in everything he did, but it just gripes my tail that some little punk acts that way (and I will presume Cramer is telling the truth because I've seen similar behavior so many times and, frankly, it makes no sense for Cramer to do what he was doing if the teen were not acting disrespectfully), and then "tells" on Cramer, and kid gets away while Cramer has to spend money and go talk to a judge.

" Democrates- Kristi, Jon, Dis interested, Wally..."

Wow, you aren't on this board very often, are you. Or maybe Kristi's had me fooled all these years:? Next you'll say I love Mike Bootrow.

Threats were made because simple law abiding citizens who believe in following the rules are fed up with a system that caters to the miscreants who blatantly disregard them. He knew that he could get away with it because law enforcement is forced to abandon common sense and side with the idiots.

Kristi, I am as floored as you at these posts. Please folks, do not go to the elementary school during the week. First of all, most of you are condoning bad decisions...elementary school children make enough of those on their own and don't need your influence. Second, I see so many parents park in the fire lane (for more than a quick run in and out) at the elementary school and it is annoying. There is a perfectly fine parking lot and the lane is clearly marked for fire. BUT, I simply walk in and tend to my business...thankfully, no telling off anyone, putting my hands on anyone or corking anyone whatsoever. How ridiculous to think such a disrespectful adult taught anyone a lesson!

I can hardly believe what I'm reading. Dumb Teenagers can be disrespectful and turn out great. I can't think of any scenario where being shaken by an adult jackass is going help that happen. Elders teach a younger generation by showing respect, tolerance and most of all restraint. Pick your fights this one wasn't worth having.

For real, Kristi - lol. I know I wouldn't be mistaken for a democrat. lolol
