eh you cant be putting hands on someone elses kids like that. it sounds like the kid mighta started it, but thats an insane amount of escalation. you also gotta take into account that shes 73 and has never been arrested before. not a violent person. but if the kid is wilding out like that, he might have some ignorant parents, which means you might have some problems if they ever let you bail out
sorry but nobody strangles my kid but me!
