Fuck this shitty opinion. It's a child. Even an adult can change their ways, you think a child whose brain isn't even close to being fully developed is set in their ways? What the actual fuck.

10 year olds aren't idiots and this isn't his first protest.
Stop trying to paint this asshole as a poor bystander.
So did you have a shitty childhood or have you always been a heartless bastard?
Edit: Actually, this is a super douchy post with regards to people who may have had terrible childhoods, I'll leave it for posterity but anger got the better of me.

If this kid wasn't sure if his dad's stories were true before, he certainly is now.

He's ten. His parents told him what to believe and he did. His parents decided to have him come along to protest with them. There is no real decision making being had on his part.
I cannot believe some of the posts in this thread.

Theres a better way to do that than terrorize him.
Childhood trauma like that isn't going to do anything but help reinforce the views his parents fed him as he gets older.

Dumb story. Idiot picking on a kid. Idiot dragging his kid out to protest. And decent person being decent.
Lame story.
Lame story.
You know there are a lot of stupid people on both sides when shoving and insulting a 10 year old kid is "okay".

I'm a heartless bastard. I don't have sympathy for anyone who is out there fighting to take hard fought for rights away.
Yup, definitely a troll then. Sorry your life is so pitiful you can't enjoy it unless you make someone else's worse.

I've seen everything now holy shit lol
Uhhhh...
Disgusting. What is wrong with you? But seems like it's nothing new reading your usual "hardass, tell it like it is" comments on this board.
I'm not angry at this child. Rather I'm sad that he has such bad parents.

Violence should never be a part of protests, but pushing a little kid and taunting him is on another level of disgusting behavior. Ms. Hunken is a hero for stepping in.

You are calling a 10 year old child an asshole. Better go look in a mirror.

You're also a fucking idiot, so you know.
Kid is 10. He doesn't know what abortion is beyond what he's been told.

Are you actually being serious at this point? To me it seems like you're shit posting for the sake of it.
A 10 year old's brain is still forming. He's being influenced by his parent. At this age, any information given by people he looks up to is fact. On top of that, he has no other choice. His parent controls where he goes.

Maybe Miles is ten himself. Only thing that would explain it.

I'm cool with Nazi punching. But bullying kids is shitty. I would have been right there with those anti-abortion protesters at his age. Being bullied by a bunch of adults isn't what changed my views.

I don't think so. I think some of you just refuse to accept that even at the age of ten, kids aren't dumb and do have a pretty good idea of the world.
His worldview isn't just what his parents feed him. What's happening is you're all projecting yourselves at age ten and assuming he's the same rather than seeing this as a ten year old in 2017.
Fuck his dad for bringing him to such a protest.
Maybe you hang around really special 10 year olds, but you have no clue what you're talking about.

....hooooly shit there's better trees to die on than this
This isn't good. And I'm the one watching Richard Spencer get punched on loop
Yup. Don't blame the kids for his parent's shitty views.

Nah, 10 year olds aren't idiots.
Fucking evil millennials.
Preach on, my friend! You have to tell us how much you were a highly-educated, informed, discerning progressive warrior when you were 10. That'll show these naysayers what's what!
You can not shove them. That's a good starting point.

Yes, because violence is always a good way to get people to change their views. Get real.

This. People really need to start holding themselves to a higher level of accountability. Really says something that they went after a little kid instead of an adult, too.

when I was 10 I trusted everything my parents say, abso fucking lutely I had little opinion besides what they told me I was essentially a christian choir boy because they told me to do it and I put my everything into it.
So no, please stop. He's a child. Don't physically and verbally abuse him he doesn't know better.
I wasn't exactly a rocket scientist when I was ten. I still believed in everything my parents taught me. Gays are bad, god is real, etc.
I probably could have been that kid but as I grew up, I was taught better through wider interactions with the world outside of my bubble.
No one that young should have to pay for the idiocy of their parents. As he gets older, he could still break free from their toxic views before its too late. I'd rather him remember people trying to do that than trying to get violent.

10 year olds have the capacity to even murder.
There was once a pretty gruesome case in the UK involving two ten year olds abducting a 2 year old and beating him to death. My memory on it is dodgy it was The Bulger case - I wouldn't look into it if your faint hearted.
But yeah, 10 year olds can definitely be assholes.
