8-year-old arrested, accused of hitting teacher
An eight-year old boy is about to get a first hand lesson in criminal justice. The second grader was arrested for allegedly punching his teacher in the face. NBC2's Patrick Flanary had a chance to speak to the young boy.

An argument over crayons in the classroom ended inside a patrol car for second grader Deshawn Williams. His wrists were in handcuffs and his teacher was badly bruised.

"He gets very upset and he loves to hit," said Deshawn's grandmother Dorothy Williams.

"If he was overpowering her that much, I feel like she shouldn't be in that line of work," said Dorothy.

"If she can't deal with him, put him in someone else's classroom. If it's a male, whatever, and let them restrain him," said Dorothy.

1. An argument over crayons?  Come on kid, there are much bigger fish to fry.
2. "He gets very upset, and he loves to hit."  Excellent.  There's no better way to account for a person's actions that with the old, "That's just what he does."  I'll concede that you can use that excuse for a truly damaged person, such as an Alzheimer's patient who calls you in the middle of the night because he forgets where he lives.  But an 8-year-old kid who just "loves to hit"?  I don't think so.
3. "If he was overpowering her that much, I feel like she shouldn't be in that line of work."  Double excellent.  "If you can't beat up kids, you shouldn't be in charge of them."  Excellent thing to say, especially to a reporter who will tell the whole world what you said.
4. "If it's a male, whatever, and let them restrain him."  Triple excellent.  First, my kid loves to hit.  Second, if you get beat up by my kid, you're too weak to be in charge of him.  Third, if you're a woman, perhaps you're too weak.  Get a man to do it.
