Summary
A straphanger offers one of the wildest parenting takes ever captured on the subway: if someone hits their kid in public, everyone else should get a turn too. Kareem tries to follow the logic as the rider doubles down, arguing that a beating from parents who love you is the real punishment, so a stranger getting involved is just "a bonus." The conversation veers into uncomfortable territory. Fast. It's the kind of moment that makes you wonder if you heard that right.
