Adrian Peterson reportedly indicted for child abuse

[4down20]

Going by the story..if it is true...the kid had marks on his hands as if he was trying to stop the punishment. Marks on the thighs .Either AP was a bad aim or he just went to town on the kid. BTW .I saw nothing there that was life threatening in any way and back in the day we would be showing these to our friends the next day. Again...times have changed.

Probably was, that happens.

Basically what it boils down to is he hit him a little too hard. It happens, especially if it was one of the first times he's been spanked. The proper thing at best is for the mother to call AD and say - hey, that's a bit too much. He might have already known on his own.

It's ridiculous to call this abuse, press charges or whatever.

I hope AP hadn't lost his shit with a 4 year old to the point he didn't notice the kid was bleeding. He is one of the top athletes in the world, he should have pretty good reaction time and switch control.

Trying to imagine what those injuries looked like before they had time to heal. Anyone know how long after the incident the pics were taken?

 

[Jims_Doors]

Yeah, "beat with a tree branch".

Sounds like an unbiased source. :rollseyes:

Where does a switch come from or what do you make it out of???

Deactivated for the Patriot game.

in jr high, the principle was a big, big really black guy...he had a paddle that was custom...he'd say "grab your ankles" and knock the shit out of you.

Of course, the school was huge, and busing had just started. Had fights daily.

But jump to today, if a principle even owned a paddle like that, it would be on CNN town hall, etc., and he'd probably go to jail...

And if you get into a fight, they kick you out of school.

Back in my day that was 3 licks, suspended at worse.

Damn good point.

 

[Jims_Doors]

An arrest warrant has been issued and he's been de-activated by team

Hmmm, should I put in West or Ingram.

Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon. Better hurry, AP's done.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Kinda sick you defend this guy because he plays for the Vikings.

That bad reading ability by tigers fans made it's way to the NFL boards!!

Nice!!

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

At the rate rbs are dropping, I might go try out for a team.

 

[4down20]

And my team just took a 10 pt drop in projected points.

 

[Clayton]

The sad part is that the Vikings still would have beaten the Rams in week 1 without AP. Ugh

 

[darken65]

Deactivated for the Patriot game.

Really? Already?

My GrandDad made me go get my own. (Worst part). Willow switch was the only branch allowed.

Bare skin, till you bleed is sadistic shit though.

 

[Texas Jefe]

yeah, no need to make a little kid bleed

 

[broncosmitty]

Ummm, I read all of your comments man.

Vikings homerdom or you're pro-child abuse. Take your pick.

I went with homer.

 

[craigk217]

Well, yeah she reported it. Now they are investigating. If it is how they are reporting I gurantee he gets off. If there is more too it then he may be fucked.

It is also all to convenient that it happened in May but after Ray Rice week is just now being released.

Yeah .... I thought the same thing ... 4 months for a GJ to indict???
