Bango!!!

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.

Columbus police have charged Conone with two misdemeanor counts of assault but said they expect that more victims will come forward as their investigation unfolds.

Hummer told the news media not to photograph Conone in court to protect the police investigation. Police said they hope other children can identify him.

COLUMBUS — Police in Ohio say a man accused of striking children in the head with a key protruding from his fist inside a Walmart store told them he did it for the thrill.

Sixty-eight-year-old Ralph Conone was arrested at a Columbus Walmart Wednesday on two counts of assault. Police say a mother had store employees call police after the woman’s 6-year-old son told her Conone hit him.

The boy was treated for a minor cut on the back of his head. Police say his 7-year-old brother also had been struck.

Sgt. John Hurst says Conone told investigators it was exciting to hit children with their parents nearby.

Police say they’re trying to find two more children seen getting struck on store surveillance video.

Court records do not show an attorney for Conone.

Dude should've hit them with the Park Tool Freewheel Remover FRW-1; a mere $39.95.

Shopping at a Walmart would make even Gandhi punch babies.

Dude, no joke. I know whenever I find myself in a walmart for whatever reason, I have to punch something before the day is out.

I prefer to be more proactive and punch parents of the little ****s. Preferably pregnant women and couples thinking about having children.
