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.
