A 33-year-old Pennsylvania man was arrested and charged with two counts of assault after he allegedly beat up a 9-year-old boy who bested him in a water balloon fight.
There seems to be no shortage of embarrassing details for Joe Mongeon, who witnesses say instigated the water balloon fight with the child. However, the The Times-Tribune of Scranton reports Mongeon became “enraged” after the young boy successfully targeted Mongeon with a water balloon of his own.
That’s when witnesses say Mongeon pushed the child to the ground and began kicking him. When the boy’s mother, Helen Flynn, attempted to intervene, Mongeon allegedly punched her in the face.[/quote]

Doubtful, seeing as how the kid was most likely white and not wearing a thug hoodie. Reports also indicate his pockets were devoid of iced tea and Skittles, rendering a clean shoot all the more unlikely.
