The wonderful thing about tiggers...

Okay, that's not really the headline, but I think that's what we're going to get in the end.
I've seen the video multiple times on TV, can't find it on youtube yet though. Have you seen it?
"A Walt Disney World employee dressed as the character Tigger was accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo"
When he's hit buy a guy in a Tigger costume, he's a child. If he'd assaulted a 13 year old, he'd be "Tried as an adult age". I think he's about 16 or 17. I could be wrong.
Anyway, I watched the video and the kid is laughing a smiling with his arm around Tigger when Tigger turns and puts the kids left arm in an arm bar, which is a defensive action, then pie faces the kid. I love how they've been using the words "sucker punched" in the early reports and now they're saying smacked. My guess is he was trying to push the kid away. You can't see what his (the kid's) left hand is doing just before the incident. Having worn one of those costumes, I can tell you it's difficult to see out of them and if the guy was just trying to push the kid away for whatever reason, it's easy to miss. But the kid still had a goofy smile on his face and bopped Tigger on the head right after.
The kid's father even says he first thought his son did something to provoke it. Kid a troublemaker maybe? Then they probably realized they could get publicity and money out of it and suddenly my wonderful kid did nothing to provoke it. Kid couldn't be lying could he?
I hate people.
