"tragic" Situation for Adrian Peterson

[yezzir]

Inmates do have a certain code when it comes to kids. I think it will be a long life for him, and not very pleasant.

Not to get too political, but that's a good reason to not support the death penalty. Let the dude get his a$$ kicked for the rest of his life by inmates. Then let God judge him when he dies "naturally".

I hope whoever the killer was rots in prison, or better yet the death penalty. Who beats a defenseless 2 year old? It makes me sick to my stomach. As for her and all the other mothers, you have to people careful who you let your children around. It's some sick people out here who care nothing about kids that aren't theirs.

Just so you know, I'm pretty sure the kid in your avatar isn't the son who was killed.

Are you 100% sure?

^ Pretty sure that picture is of AP Jr., who wasn't harmed in this incident. It's reportedly a third child that, from what I gather, most didn't know about.

The killer:



The jumpoff:





Obviously the death of this child in such brutal fashion is at the forefront, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd be a little bummed if AP was having an affair that produced a love child. He's engaged now so probably was a single man back then, but that will definitely be on the backburner of all this and rightfully so...I just think I hoped for more from AP.

Regardless...Still love and respect the dude. Thoughts and prayers go out..

No. I'm pretty sure.

One of the vikings reporters on twitter said it wasn't the kid(s) at training camp

[GoldenBear91]

very sad. how this happens is very simple - drugs/substance abuse or history of abuse in the attacker's life when they were a child. basically abused people abuse others. a cycle of broken.

[PotGoblin]

ESPN just said on sportscenter that AP ended up leaving vikes facilities early today so are thinking he will play but they are letting him have the night off to grieve and will talk to him again tomorrow. So at this point it may be up in there air.

The picture of him just screams d.ouche bag.... let a lone child killer.

The picture of her screams, "What the #### am I doing?!?! Someone please tell me they love me"

This thread is starting to get a little stupid...

Does every aspect of this need to be analyzed and discussed now? Are people really changing their avatars to children with viking helmets and angel wings? Seriously?

Human nature. People find comfort in what they will. It's whatever. Besides, all that stuff you mentioned is 10x better than Kleinsasser's ugly mug.

Ignoring your personal insults I'll point out that you made two points. The first point was criticism of the poster who was rooting for big stats from Adrian. If your reading comprehension was up to snuff you'd notice I wasn't criticizing or even remarking on that. The second point was that you believed that Adrian would "do the right thing" by not playing. Do you deny this? Are you going to claim you didn't say this? Because you still haven't addressed the fact that Adrian Peterson said he was going to play. So Adrian is not doing the "right thing" under you definition, so what do you have to say to Adrian? What do you have to say about Adrian? You think because you didn't use the word "scumbag" like I paraphrased for you, that you are off the hook somehow. Come on man, you said it now back it up. Adrian is playing so according to Foxindetox is not doing the right thing. How do you feel about that? Or will you continue to weasel out and attack me instead?

Uhhh...no. This ridiculous post proves my point that you either did not read, or can not comprehend, what I wrote. I'm guessing that comprehension is where you are struggling.

What I very clearly stated is, if a mans 2 year old son was laying in a hospital bed in critical condition, fighting for his life, and that man chose to leave the boy's bedside to play a game of football only a couple of days after the incident that put the child in the hospital, I would lose respect for that man. I stated that a child in such a scenario would need the strength of his father to help him pull through. If that was the case here I have no doubt that Adrian would remain by the child's bedside as long as his presence could benefit the child.

This situation is clearly not as previously described, unfortunately it is much worse. A child has been murdered. I completely understand a player getting back on the field after the loss of a family member. After a loved one dies a period of mourning begins and all people mourn differently. I am the type of person who would likely go back to work shortly after the loss of a loved one to help me get my mind off things for a bit. Therefore I can completely understand Adrian's decision to play football on Sunday, if that is what he chooses to do.

Get it now??

From what I understand AP learned about this child Thursday the day the incident happen.

Do you have a source or link to provide?

...just because I'm curious, how do you feel about him now? After all, he didn't leave for a game of football, but he left for practice. (For some reason this makes me think of Allen Iverson. Not a game; we talkin' about practice, man!). Didn't the boy pass after he went back to Minnesota? Not that it really matters, but I'm curious on your thoughts because you've been pretty blunt about your opinions. And for the record, I totally get where you're coming from. Some of the details are sketchy or just plain missing, so it's hard to really say how things should have played out. I just know this event is just another sad reminder of the world we live in.
