I guess it depends on your definition of a serious injury.


Well yes.

I was underwhelmed when I saw the injuries because of what was being described as serious injuries. Maybe as an Iraqi war vet not much of what I see can surprise me anymore, but in my mind I'm picturing flesh hanging out of his wounds. If you call welts serious injuries, what do you call actual disfigurment? Super serious?

You're ignoring the fact that I posted earlier that a medical doctor referred this case to the authorities and a prosecutor filed felony charges and AD was given an indictment for "severe injuries". Do you even doctor or lawyer bro?
Link?

I want to see where you got your information instead of taking your word for it before I even respond.

Good chance it makes the kid dumber too. Dumb enough to grow up and say, "My dad used to beat me with a switch and I turned out fine."


Everything isn't as black and white as you think. My dad beat me with a fricking boat paddle and I turned out fine. I'm not excusing what Peterson did, but I'm also not condemning him to life in jail for it. You people act like he chained him up in the basement to whip for sexual pleasure every night

You are defending AP against the accusation that he caused severe physical injuries, one of which was an injury to the scrotum, to a child.

This is what kind of person you are.

If you want to word it like that, then sure... only because the injuries are not severe physical injuries.

He caused injury.

Not severe injury.

Okay, I'll take your word for it that the actual wording was "severe injuries".

And if that is the case, then the lawyer is just wrong. Lawyers are wrong sometimes, aren't they?

Presented to a grand jury which deliberated and returned a felony indictment

They're only charges at this point tho

You are defending Adrian Peterson, who inflicted upon a toddler a scrotal injury under the guise of discipline, against the accusation that he caused severe injury.

This is the kind of person you are. You are very tough. A hero. We are impressed.

PTM, the kid was 4! He couldn't defend himself if he tried. And in the state of Louisiana, you can discipline your child, you just can't leave a mark. The poor baby had cuts with blood.
I get what you're saying but you're not getting what we are saying...it's because he is 4 that this is a big deal. I have a 5 year old and would never whip him with a stick. Maybe my hand.

And also, isn't this the same man who lost his 2 year old son because the babies mommas boyfriend beat him to death??? Don't you think you would try a different route of discipline.

Sweet emotional argument. You're usually better at arguing than this.

What emotion am I emitting, and in what part of my text have I emitted emotion?

How do you not see the difference in what PTM is saying and what y'all keep accusing him of saying?

you're comparing a 4 year old to someone in serving in a war?

No, I get what y'all are saying because I agree with it. I know he was 4. Yes, that makes the ABUSE worse. I agree.

But I'm not talking about the violence of the abuse. Whipping somebody with a stick is violent. It's even worse to do it to a 4 year old. I completely get it.

I'm talking about the actual injuries sustained. Yes, he caused injury. But he did not cause "severe injury" like many are describing. That's the only thing I take issue with. The description of the extent of the injuries.

Because the kid is 4 and it is very painful. It's violent to whip somebody with a stick. It's physical and mental abuse.

I'm only talking about the extent of the injuries left behind. They are being described as much worse than they are in reality. That's the only thing I take issue with.

Just be accurate about the extent of the actual injury.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but aren't we talking about some pretty minor injuries like welts and bruises?


Beating a 4 year old till they bleed, with the wounds still deep and visible a week later, is far worse that what Ray Rice did to another adult in an elevator.

This is as clear cut an example of felony child abuse as you will see.

And he has already admitted to it. So let the suspension and criminal trial commence.

You are trying to word your argument in a way that evokes emotion. We're not idiots.

AD should be beaten by a whip until he bleeds. tPOS coward. Based on the texts he sent, he felt real badass for making a 4yr old bleed. Pisses me off.
