While standing in line at a taco truck in East Oakland, an apparently intoxicated man decided to get touchy-feely with a young boy standing behind his father. Once the father notices and confronts the weirdo’s inappropriate physical contact with his son, a fight breaks out and goes to the ground. Background audio of the boy crying was picked up, along with a woman pleading for the men to stop fighting.
Watch things go from bad to worse:
Don’t touch other people’s kids.
A word of advice for drunks and sober people alike, never touch other people’s kids. First of all, unwanted touching is battery, which is illegal. Second, when it comes to battery of a minor, it’s common that other criminal charges are filed. Third, any protective parent is expected to confront an apparent child predator that does so much as verbally harass their kid. Now, imagine if a weirdo started getting touchy-feely with your kid. What would your reaction be? Most parents would react with hostility and aggression. The fate of that creeper may have been different, had the battery taken place in Texas.

Looked fake to me.
This is so crazy that I can’t really believe it was not staged. Where does a fool come from where he does not know that strangers have no right to touch other peoples’ kids? If this were a real incident, and the guy won the fight with the father, wouldn’t he have then probably abducted the little boy? I hope he got his **s good and righteously kicked.
I am a protective parent, but saw nothing worthy of starting a fight in this video… Seems the dad just wanted to pick a fight.
You must not be a parent…
I’m a parent and I agree with r.j.pare …nothing worth picking a fight over .
All the father did was say “don’t touch my son”. It was the other guy who started actually trying to physically fight. Did you watch the video?
Would you react the same if the Dad was white and the touchy drunk was a latino or black person? Doubt it. ‘Protective parent’ my ass sounds like a punk parent.
The father looks like an aggro little dork to me…the other was drunk and could have easily been ignored… I would have just walked my child away from him… how do you KNOW the drunk guy is a “weirdo ” ? He just looks like a drunk guy…jeez, talk about a nation of fearmongers !
The kid is probably used to his old man picking fights at the drop of a hat..the poor child .
You dont touch other peoples kids.
It looks staged to me. Why would you be filming a couple of people ordering food at a taco stand?
