I don't know why Wal-Mart attracts crazy bastards, but it sure does.

The 68-year-old grandfather accused of punching children in a Northwest Side Walmart appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court this morning.

Judge Mark Hummer set bond for Ralph Conone, of 5687 Shadowbrook Dr., at $150,000. Should he post bond, Conone was ordered to stay away from his victims and Walmart while the case proceeds.

Conone was caught Wednesday night at the Wal-Mart at 2700 Bethel Rd. after a 6-year-old boy complained to his mother that Conone had punched the back of his head.

The woman followed Conone out of the store, grabbed his arm, led him back inside and notified security.

Police said a review of the surveillance video in the store confirmed not only the assault on that boy but other assaults on his 7-year-old brother and two other children who haven't been identified.

Conone told police he would put his keys between his fingers and strike the children when their parents weren't looking. He said he'd been doing it since January because he liked the excitement of getting away with it.

His public defender said in court today that Conone has mental health issues.

Is a Walmart in Ohio redundant?
 
"Conone told police he would put his keys between his fingers and strike the children when their parents weren't looking. He said he'd been doing it since January because he liked the excitement of getting away with it.

Understatement of the year.
 
Ralphie boy is lucky he ran into a mother who was content to "lead him by the arm."

A lot of mothers would have laid his ass flat out, or worse. You know what some mothers are packing in their purse these days?

And the judge needs to throw every book he can find at him. A key is a sharp piece of hard metal. You punch a kid in the head with a key the wrong way, it could puncture the skull. Jail, jail, jail.

"Mental health issues"? Yeah yeah yeah, tough ****ing ****. Spend a few years in the slammer to work 'em out.
