Tigger "Punches" Kid in the face..

[pokemon_master]

Apparantly a CM got suspended for "Punching" a kid in the face. Someone recorded the footage; check it out: http://www.local6.com/news/10685989/detail.html

From what I can see, he didn't mean to punch the kid. I think the kid got too close; maybe touching the head and so the person goes around to stop him and accidently hits him in the face.. But, as things go in America, what with sueing culture they had to fire him..

That's rather sad...

It difficult to be sure, but from the video it looks an unprovoked punch

 

[emily1982]

to me it just looks like an accident.

it looks like a punch to me as he pulled his arm.

To me it looks like the boy is kinda leaning on tigger,so tigger trys not to lose balance maybe not sure about the arm grabbing,but it didnt look like a punch to me,it looks like he caught his face by accident.
Dont think it was deliberate.

Nothing more than an unfortunate accident if you ask me Looks like he simply lost his balance to me and was looking for some sort of support.

It does look like that now i have watched it again, and at the end of the clip he seems to be checking to see if the boy is okay.

Looks like an accident to me, I think Tigger thought he was losing his balance and grabs the kids arm thinking he is toppling backwards and his arm swings round and catches the boy in the face.

It does not look to me like the boy was punched.
I feel for the poor cm who got suspended for this mountaion outta a molehill situation

Looks like a simple accident.

I can't see a punch in that video,

A sort of slapping action because he was pulled over but nothing more.

 

[jockey]

What a shame, this looked like an accident to me!

...and has anybody noticed the son "punch" Tigger back at the end of the video?

 

[jen_uk]

It looks like he turns and knocks him in the face by accident, doesnt look like he hits him on purpose. I don't believe he would be stupid enough to punch someone when the parent is filming it!!

I think the general concencus accident and stinks of an insurance claim.

Tigger is innocent

Yes, and guess what will happen next..."Sorry, Ma'am, Mickey is no longer allowed to cuddle your 3 year old daughter......"

Also, if you look at Tigger's right arm just before he stumbles, he looks like he's grabbing the son's arm which has just started to move down.......undoing the zip maybe?

I totally agree...the kid definately looks like he's doing something behind Tiggers back and Tigger is trying to stop him and of course these characters can't speak so he has to grab his arm to stop him and accidently catches the kids face. And also they have very limited vision in those costumes.
An unfortunate accident that's been blown up out of all proportion, in my opinion.
