You think making it illegal is going to make it stop? That's working well with murderers. "dont kill someone or you'll go to jail" Of course not. That's the idiot logic that gun control people use. What it does do though, it makes normal parents, who aren't abusing their kids like Peterson is, afraid to physically discipline when it may be necessary...and there are times where it is necessary. |

The point is and was that you're alright with that...with equating simple discipline with what Peterson did. That's the issue, because that's what government has made it. i am? Seemed to be to me. "Well...that's the way it is" |

So there should be no laws against anything because invariably someone will break them anyway. Is that what I'm reading?

The following statement is from Vikings Owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf:
Today’s decision was made after significant thought, discussion and consideration. As evidenced by our decision to deactivate Adrian from yesterday’s game, this is clearly a very important issue. On Friday, we felt it was in the best interests of the organization to step back, evaluate the situation, and not rush to judgment given the seriousness of this matter. At that time, we made the decision that we felt was best for the Vikings and all parties involved.
To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child. At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action. This is a difficult path to navigate, and our focus is on doing the right thing. Currently we believe we are at a juncture where the most appropriate next step is to allow the judicial process to move forward.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and support Adrian’s fulfillment of his legal responsibilities throughout this process.

What did his kid do, get arrested for shitting his pants? I don't know. Whatever it was he didn't deserve what Peterson did to him. The problem again is Peterson is not a normal parent. He doesn't understand the difference between discipline and abuse. The problem with government being involved is they have equated what normal parents do...discipline, with what abnormal parents do...abuse. |

Doesnt mean everyone is going to abide by them. So good luck with banning "beatings". That's not going to stop people for giving them to their children. |

No. But you don't ban things responsible people use responsibly, such as guns or physical discipline, just because irresponsible people use them irresponsibly. Use punish irresponsible use, not responsible use. Got it yet? |

You think Peterson is going to hit his kid with a stick as much after this? He may still do it, but I bet it's a lot less frequent. |

So we're all in general agreement that Petersen was wrong to beat his kid with a stick and should be punished for doing it. But we're upset that there's a law that enables the government to punish him for that because it may ensnare lesser offenders who only use their hands? (and I have no idea if this is true - I haven't read the charges he was indicted for). What's the alternative? Government has no laws protecting children from their parents and when AP's kid gets the stick we say "sucks for you?" |

Translation - "If we hadn't gotten throttled by 23 points at home yesterday, we would probably have extended APs de-activation timeframe." |

The alternative is to apply common sense in the law as opposed to a one size fits all mandate from some asshole who thinks he can raise your kids better than you can. |

Adrian Peterson did not submit a plea as expected today. Prosecutors have asked that Judge Case recuse himself for calling both, Peterson's Attorney, Rusty Hardin and the prosecuters "Media Whores".
Rusty Hardin said that he wasn't offended and had been called much worse.
