@Melgone: For the same reason no one stepped (in a story that no longer exists) when someone tried to rape their own sister, in broad daylight, in the middle of the school parking lot.
The story arc title is “Movin’ Out”. And Ronald just committed physical assault against his own daughter in front of multiple witnesses, which would surely be grounds for intervention by Child Protective Services…
Guys! I think this could very well be the arc that finally sees Jocelyn getting to move out of her abusive home! Maybe even getting adopted by Aunt Vicky!
Well, the bad news is that he just shot live bullets at a group of unarmed teens, and then proceeded to pull down his own daughter’s pants and spank her in front of a live audience and cameras.
The good news is, now that he’s physically assaulted her, she’s entirely within her rights to respond in kind. I predict several missing teeth and/or cracked ribs in Ronald’s very near future.
And no one’s calling him a loon or stopping this why? They afraid he’ll start shooting or spanking them too? Would love to see what that other governor thinks of ‘Raging Ronnie’ after this incident, figure he can use this against Ronald during his campaign.
Jocelyn went from death glare to trauma shock in an instant. I just don’t see how this can possibly end well for Ronald at this point. He’s just committed quite a vile sin.
And I was wondering if the fact that he caught her showed he cared…you never change, Ronald (especially the increasingly hilarious failures). And I don’t think you can end a campaign that’s never gotten any traction…I can’t imagine the state GOP has even paid any attention to him.
“…whom I assure you I have NEVER met before in my life…”
Wait until Phyllis hears about this, and maybe Rick (who must still be standing there stunned) spills the beans that this is his own daughter. Though he better punch his lights out for daring to shoot up at his son.
Also, the fact that he exposed her behind in front of public and possibly cameras… yeah, we shall see what comes of this…
Given how most of his supporters are old fogeys who grew up knowing that the fear of a good, hard fanny-smack always puts kids in their place, Ronald may actually get MORE support from them instead.
The ONLY good thing I can say here is that he caught her as she fell. Got that? The *ONLY* good thing. What he has just done……oh boy,that is *not* going to go over well for anyone.
Gonna be real honest here, I’m actually liking this because I think it helps send a message I don’t think gets acknowledged enough: just because someone is dumb or incompetent, that does NOT mean they can’t hurt you.
Aaaaand just like that, Ronald is asking for prison time.

The people of this town SUUUUCK.
So we got:
Assault W/A Deadly Weapon (4 counts)
Reckless Endangerment (4 counts)
Sexual Assault of a Minor (1 count)
Public Lewdness (1 count)
And I’m betting ol’ Ronnie’s already chased off most of the good lawyers in town.
@TheJayster99: True.
@Chris Wolvie: Crap, he’s gonna get elected, isn’t he?
Exposing a teenagers bare bottom and smacking it in front of everyone? What’s next? Grabbing her by the p…
Oh $#|+…
Wow. Actually went there. I hope Ronald has enough room up his ass for everything that the boys are going to shove up it.
Now’s he’s just going too far. >:( Go to Hell, Ronald Stafford.
…Wait. Wait wait waaaaaait a second…

Also too much info Steve.
Hooo boy… he’s cracked. He’s gone nuts.

Spanking your own teenage daughter, Ronald. Seriously?
Okay, I’m going to assume Joce is too shocked to kick his teeth in.

……
Wow, I didn’t see that coming. I don’t know what’s going to happen to Ronald now, but I don’t think we’ll see much of him after this arc.
Tempest: Holy shit, you’re right. That’s the look of resurfacing trauma if I’ve ever seen it.
The ONLY good thing I can say here is that he caught her as she fell. Got that? The *ONLY* good thing. What he has just done……oh boy,that is *not* going to go over well for anyone.
@Superior Gorilla, you are 100% right.
Is anyone else feeling like her face in the 3rd panel is hinting at something deeper? Like this is flashbacks of childhood trauma?
Ronald, you fucking bastard. Steve, fuck him up beyond recognition.
Oh, he is FUCKED.
Now THIS is the point of no return for Ronald!
..just gonna sit in the back and watch how this all plays out..

Physically, too, in this case.
Aaand the cameras cut the feed
