This guy is doing too much for a security guard. No one is innocent here.

I am not only disgusted by this kids actions, but also the actions of the father. The fathers actions are only making the kids actions seem justifiable, which will only lead to him doing it again. I hope you get your job back. This is ridiculous!

little willie looks like a freaking idiot smh and so does his dad. i'm from jersey and i went to a hood school myself so i saw plenty of situations like this. But the security guard was right to do what he did. This has gotta stop. Kids think they can do what they want and the parents back them up. Pure ridiculousness. So glad you won man.
