Iowa man tries to lure teen and gets mom's fist instead


(CBS/AP) DES MOINES, Iowa - A Des Moines man who allegedly tried to lure a young girl into an alley, wound up with stitches and a black eye after the girl's mother took matters into her own hands, according to authorities.

Polk County police sources say that Robert C. Harding tried to lure a 13-year-old girl into an alley near where she was playing with friends outside her home. Instead the smart-thinking teenager went to get her mom who confronted Harding, according to CBS affiliate KCCI.

Police say that when the girl's mother, Holly Pullen, confronted Harding he asked how old the girl was and whether he could marry her or would be interested in signing the girl away.

"I got down to the alley and I confronted him. I said, 'Why are you staring at the kids?' and he looks at me and says, 'I want to marry the red head.' I came unglued at that point. I was like 'Dude, she's only 13 and that's my daughter,'" Pullen told the station.

Police said Pullen punched Harding in the face. Then the girl's father and one of his friends chased Harding and fought with him, KCCI reported.

69. Hmmmmm, the death penalty for being creepy but not actually
   
committing a crime.

I'm guessing it was entrapment, right?

20. Did he have a weapon?
   
Did he threaten to use it?

All that happened is that the mother got pissed off over something the guy said.


The only thing she "defended" someone against were words, and words are NOT justification for assault and battery.

53. What was that woman
   
"defending" anyone against?

Don't tell me words, OK?

The man didn't, from what the article says, attempt to threaten anyone.

You don't get to beat someone up just because he says something offensive to you.

And you don't get to beat someone up because he tried to entice someone in a public place.

That's why there are police and courts.

sigh...

63. Um, OK...so what it all boils down to
   
is that if the criminal (child enticer or molester) is viewed as being creepy enough, all rules of law are suspended.

That's nice to know, really.

It means that when cops arrest someone suspected of any particular crime, it's perfectly OK for them to make sure he "accidentally" falls down a flight of stairs. Twice. While handcuffed.


And the prosecutors know they'll never get a conviction, so....


I'm really hoping that once this case gets going, the girls end up recanting a lot of what they claim.

It doesn't matter what he's charged with as much as what he's convicted of.

For the sake of those girls and the guy, I do hope this turns out to be nothing more than a bit of teenaged drama blown out of proportion despite what the man said to the mom about wanting to marry her daughter. I would love to see him pronounced not guilty and see the mom's ass dragged into court for assault and battery.

What a piece of work this new to me primitive is.
She (I'm assuming she's a she), is so wacked out the rest of the DUmmies are arguing against her.

[diesel driver]

If the man was watching MY little girl, and stating he wanted to "marry her", there wouldn't be enough left of him to bury.

Period!

End of story.

Mole. 

DUmbass pee pee is hitting them with every single whacko libtard talking point that it might as well be mocking all of them.

Amen.

That would not have involved an ass-beating, it would have been more like a neck-breaking.

[Duke Nukum]

Another mole trap, if you come down on the side of the parent protecting his/her child against an obviously sick, twisted individual then it's pizza time.

The only purpose a child has to a liberal is to be a hostage to the teachers union. Otherwise they are an extravagant carbon footprint.

[ChuckJ]

Who is the pipi_longstockings DUmmie? I've never seen her before, but she seems to be a perfect example of everything good and decent people despise about DUmmies and their ilk.

[Airwolf]

The guy states he wants to marry a 13 year old girl or ask if the parent would sign her over to him?  The damage done to his ass would be epic after I got ahold of him.

[Evil_Conservative]

You don't get to beat someone up just because he says something offensive to you.

I know.  Otherwise you would of had your ass kicked about a million times.

[GOBUCKS]

When I first saw this thread title, I thought Ben Burch had returned to the DUmp.

No, he would be watching your SON, not your daughter, but the comments would be the same.   

[BlueStateSaint]

I'm surprised that no one here caught this one . . .

"I got down to the alley and I confronted him. I said, 'Why are you staring at the kids?' and he looks at me and says, 'I want to marry the red head.' I came unglued at that point. I was like 'Dude, she's only 13 and that's my daughter,'" Pullen told the station.

Did the mom think she was talking to Stinky the Clown?

And, if someone tried to do this to my daughter, . . . well, I'd start the proceedings with a crippling "traumatic lead injection."  Then, . . . and I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a jury anywhere in my county that would convict me.

[Airwolf]

It used to be in the days of long ago that you would never think of saying anything like that to someone. People seemed to be alot more civil and no thanks to the Dummies you now have to hear all kinds of vile crap yelled at you or your kids and there is nothing you can do about it. It used to be that a person wouldn't say a word that would possibl invoke the other persons wrath because it was good manners and if they did they were willing to pay the consequence of that action   like getting thier asses kicked. maybe we should go back to those times.

You got that right. Arguing that this mom should be charged with assault is out there even by DUmmie standards; she should be awarded the key to the city.

What ever happend to the courts upholding the words to provoke some one to violence ???

Words are now and are used to incarcerate anyone using HATE words.   

Some stranger comes up to me and points at my child and says" damn lady that is an ugly kid"

Strange man comes up to you in a bar and tells you your wife is a Whore.

Some one cuts in line ahead of me and I object and they get right nasty, **** off fatso, go home and lay off the french fries.

Yes fighting words used to harm someone.   Who says these people should be free to sprout their anger or obscenity at someone and not expect to get a round house punch to the nose ???

(3) Without provocation, uses to or of another person in such other person´s presence, opprobrious or abusive words which by their very utterance tend to incite to an immediate breach of the peace, that is to say, words which as a matter of common knowledge and under ordinary circumstances will, when used to or of another person in such other person´s presence, naturally tend to provoke violent resentment, that is, words commonly called 'fighting words';

I don't know about that jurisdiction, but in Georgia we have it covered.  Prepare to have your ass kicked, asshole.

Mole.

Making the DUmp look stupider than usual earns you extra mole points!

Are you ****ing insane?

[Rebel]

BTW, you lurking DUMBASSES!, when seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.

****ing idiots.

[I_B_Perky]

Hey dummies? Let me 'splain it to you Lucy. The perp is a pervert. No prosecutor, even in San Fran or NYC, is gonna even think about taking this to trial.

Something like that happens around me, said perp's life expectancy is zero and I'll let the chips fall where they may.

You people at the dump disgust me. FOAD.

[Rebel]

I don't think I've ever been more disgusted and that says A LOT!

[Duke Nukum]

No, he would be watching your SON, not your daughter, but the comments would be the same.   

From what I recall, Ben claimed to swing all three ways.

Umm DUmbshit??  Ever hear of 'Castle Doctrine'?

At least how it works around here is that all the prospective dead perp has to do is be in my house/on my property and threaten "to kill or do serious bodily harm" to myself or someone else on the premises, and bada bing, bada boom I've got full justification to remove the "prospective" from his "dead perp" status .  He doesn't have to be in possession of a weapon, I don't have to have seen a weapon on his person, he could even be walking away, and I am fully justified under the law - as confirmed by the state Supreme Court - in assuming he's going for a weapon to make good his threat, and shoot him in the back.

That's what "just words" can get you.  (And don't even get me started on what exactly, "just words", will getcha if someone were to make inquiries like the OP's article of Barry Soetoro's daughters.)

[AprilRazz]

"Why did you put 16 rounds into him Mrs. Aprilrazz?"
"Because I didn't have 17 and he tried to rape my 13 year old daughter officer"
"Carry on then, and nice grouping"

[Erasmus]

I'd ask what the #%$! is wrong with the folks at DU, but I know the answer (sounding like a broken record now I'm sure).  They have absolutely NO morals.  The creep in the article should be charged with the crime.  He's the type of individual that kidnaps, rapes, and kills little kids.  If he's caught, some scumbag liberal board of parole grants him probation and releases him into the wild, to do so again.  Liberals never think about the victims in these tragedies, because their idea of "free" is to be free to commit immoral perverse acts.  The criminals are lowlife scum, as are the DU folks that sided with the creep.
