This happened nearby, so naturally it's been a topic of conversation. The subject came up at lunch today, in the community barbeque restaurant. The consensus is no one had ever seen a 12 yr old too big to take an asswhipping. We talked about it some more, including the fact the kid was in hella trouble already. We decided the kids real problem was he missed a few too many asswhippings when he was six or seven. It may take someone in the boys home to scare him straight.
