Vikings star Adrian Peterson indicted in child injury case

The NFL, already swamped with negative news in what has been a horrible week for the league, now has to deal with Adrian Peterson, one of its biggest stars, being indicted for injuring a child.

Multiple reports, including TMZ, Fox Sports and the Fox affiliate in Houston, said Peterson was indicted on Thursday in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the indictment stems from Peterson disciplining his son with a switch, which is a flexible rod.

Good, that makes us both happy.

I just want co comment - you are well within your rights to not want me to spank your child, and I am within my rights to decline to be responsible for them.

What is NOT within your rights is to demand that I keep my hands off other people’s kids when, as I clearly stated, they have asked me to take care of their kids and they understand my terms.

The woman, whose daughter I kept from going into deadly danger, would have sued me for everything I own if her daughter were injured; yet was very angry that I effectively kept her daughter safe. It’s those types I refuse to watch their kids.

‘You said that it is OK for boys to rape little girls’

Give me the exact quote/link.

‘I also said - hypothetically - that it was not a “charge” but a fact of the rape that would deserve such a whipping.’

This is the problem. If a boy is accused of rape but has not had a trial, in the USA he is “innocent until proven guilty”. But according to you, no lawyers, jury or trial is needed. You’ll beat the boy half to death without the benefit of jurisprudence. You don’t seem to comprehend that this is against the law. Our laws don’t say, ‘If you are convinced a boy raped a girl, beat him half to death. It’s not assault and battery if GilesB does it.’. They specifically grant the defendant his day in court, regardless of (1) his age, or (2) what *you*, GilesB, say about his guilt or innocence.

What about this simple concept do you not understand?

No, he is not innocent until proven guilty - I’ve already explained that. IF he committed the rape, he is guilty. BUT the legal system must PRESUME he is innocent until he can be proven guilty.

Why do you insist that rapists of little 3 year old girls be set free to rape other little girls?

You are a misogynist of the sickest kind - you hate little girls.

You are making this up in your own sick mind. That is why you cannot provide a quote of me saying it.

Why do you lie wholesale about what I said?

Here’s the problem, raping little girls is very, very wrong. You think it is OK and don’t think boys who rape should be punished. In fact, you advocate encouraging them to rape little girls. That is sick.

So, you’re saying that it’s OK for boys to rape little girls? Do you think it is OK for anyone to rape little girls, or just young boys?

You can’t post a quote from me saying what you claim I said. You are lying. In fact, you are using FR to smear & character assassinate me. Not very conservative of you.

You hate little girls without justification. In spite of your hysteria, rape is wrong - especially raping little girls. You are sick!

Are you saying that you can’t take what you dish out? You insisted on lying about me over and over....yet there you sit, defending child rapists! Sick pervert!

You are lying about me. I provided quotes of what you said. You cannot provide quote from me because you are lying about me. You are using FR to smear & character assassinate me. You are acting like a liberal.

You defend a child rapist and insist that he is innocent, even when he rapes a little girl.

Hone your reading skills. I am defending the laws of the USA. Conservatives do that. It is liberals who say, ‘The law be damned, I’ll do whatever the hell I please.’

‘The law be damned, I’ll do whatever the hell I please.’ Yeah, like not punishing a child rapist? You think you can just ignore the law and do whatever you want, regardless of the damage to the little girl. Pathetic!

"And now Adrian Peterson has been taken off the field because he was disciplining his son.

When investigators questioned Peterson, they say he told them he regarded it as a normal spanking and not excessive. A grand jury seated earlier this summer decided not to charge him."

Ray Rice And Sanctimonious Media Mob Rule

I do not advocate a "switching" that breaks the skin. However, I believe that the grand jury investigation at the time was probably more objective than a TMZ report published immediately after the Ray Rice situation.

Perhaps E! could be brought in for verification?
