Now while I fully suspect certain posters here will pull the "if he was a real american/real father, he never would've let his daughters get molested/join gymnastics" etc horse shit, but those people just say that shit to sound edgy or continue the character they've created on here, given that I still present the video. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/02/us/larry-nassar-attack-court/index.html
Still never understand why three police officers need to tackle the person and drive their knees and weight into the back. I mean I guess it’s just protocol but still, a bit overkill. Anyways, I fully support this father having all the time in the world with that sick fuck.
Say I'm full of shit all you want but when I coached 5th grade YMCA basketball and had to take a kid to go to the bathroom I made another kid go with him and I entered the bathroom first while they waited and once I deemed it safe I let them go in together while I stood outside. We had practice at different facilities all the time and I didn't know who was there. It was for their safety as well as mine. I haven't followed this story that well but I can't for the life of me understand how this monster had private time with little girls. I don't know what this dad knew about it or ANYTHING about him but I'm cool with him attacking the guy and I'm cool with the cops tackling him and stopping him. How much force they use is not my decision.
No its not. You have to neutralize the threat and use force. This ain't the bitch olympics, they are police officers yo.
Too bad they didn't pick a father big enough to get the fucker in spite of the police. You know, A big fella!
There's a guy at the Gym that's scary as fuck. About 6'7" all muscle and probably 285 lbs. On adrenaline those cops would have gotten hurt by him. Pretty sure he takes "supplements" if you know what I mean. The dad looks like a big guy, just not fast enough.
I would've have done the same thing. In his defense he asked the judge for five minutes alone with Nassar, then after she denied his request, he asked for a minute alone with Nassar. Thr judge again denied his request, so he took it upon himself.
I'll take the minority view and say that I don't support extra-judicial vengeance, even in a situation like this. I'm glad the police in the courtroom were able to restrain the dad, and I'm also glad that the judge has said she's not going to levy any punishment against him.
At this age, I have to say that I agree with him. I would like to think that I would not end up with my face on the floor and cops riding me like a fifty cent hooker. But how I was when my daughter was that age, all bets are off.
I don't support extra judicial vengeance but I can certainly understand it in this case. Wrong, but understandable.
Here's the thing.... these parents need to accept some of the blame because many of them ignored their kids. Some parents flat out called their kids liars. Nassar is a huge piece of shit that deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.... but I honestly can't believe how many of these parents ignored their kids.
Yep, hard to understand that kind of parenting. I suspect they were seeing visions a greatness instead of what is.
Contempt of court is at the Judge's discretion, I'm glad she chose not to punish the dad. I was literally shaking in anger watching the original video so I can't even imagine the anger/pain/hopelessness this father felt as he listened to his daughters' testimonies in the presence of that fucking monster. There's no telling what any one of us who are fathers would have done in the same situation.
Larry Nassar is a professional manipulator, which makes it harder to pass judgement on the parents. One of the fathers has since killed himself out of sheer guilt.
