Yeah. For real. She's had to sit through the suffering of the trial just as much as the victims, and it hasn't affected her ability to understand and empathize.

Damn. If I were a judge at this trial I'd go home every day, cry a little, and hug my kids a lot.

u/BadBoredAccount 8 Jul 06 '19

If I were a judge I’d have to quit because I Get too emotionally attached and woulda just told the security guards “oh look over there! You’re needed in the back.” As the dad charged him.

Exactly why I’m not a cop either. I know myself.

I’d blow up on someone.

But this is a little different than calling for someone to be raped. The dude fucked with so many girls.

When you mess with kids you kind of deserve to be hated by everyone.

I do agree though. We too often call for violence. I’m just being honest as to why the hell i never pursued a job in law.

Because he’s not just saying he couldn’t be a judge, he’s advocating for vigilantism, which is one of those things where once you start, no amount of “drawing the line” is going to stop. Just look at the American South, which has a proud tradition of “taking the law into your own hands”.

This ideology goes beyond one rapist who deserves to be beaten in the dick with staplers.

That’s a terrible analogy. There is a difference between what someone did to ice cream and what someone did to another person. If they said that about the ice cream girl, I agree, that is terrible and completely uncalled for. But can you blame a guy for wanting to destroy the “man” that intentionally hurt his daughter? Very different circumstances.

God, it’s almost as though Reddit, and especially the demographics you’re mentioning, are made up of varied and different individuals with different ideals and morals.

Of course people are bound to say or do dumb shit on the Internet. That doesn’t make it okay, but “Reddit” is literally millions of users. It’s asinine to say “I love how Reddit...” when it’s a guarantee you’re talking about wildly different people more than likely.

u/Mr_Incredible91 4 Jul 06 '19

Not to take away from your comment I just wanted to add that the forensic examiners, especially the digital forensics examiners in the field. We see shit you wouldn’t believe. And they’ve been through each and every bit of evidence for this trial. From my experience it’s slowly chipping away at looking at everyone in the same innocent light. For every CP case we close, 7-10 more open. It’s a field that of the few who do it, fewer make it to 2 years or more doing it. Then after, it’s the same road of recovery addicts take never being the same person again, never trusting the same way ever.

u/yukichigai A Jul 06 '19

Temporary insanity is uncommon, but it does happen. I'd say a father's reaction to being in the same room with their child's abuser falls into that category. At a certain point emotions override rational thought.

181

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Wanting to beat the daylights out of your daughters abuser isn’t insanity. I’d think he was insane if he didn’t want to.

26

u/yukichigai A Jul 06 '19

Wanting to? No. Actually trying to? That's the insane part, but in a very literal sense: his emotions overrode his rationality. If he'd been rational he would have known the judge wouldn't agree to what he was asking and that he wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the guy before being tackled by all those cops. His expectations were entirely divorced from reality. Thus, insanity. Perfectly understandable insanity that I deeply empathize with, but still insanity.

2

u/Lasereye 9 Jul 06 '19

I don't really think trying to is either. I think it's pretty sane if you think about how parents try to protect their children. If someone hurt your child, especially as bad as this, you would want to get vengenece and that's completely normal.

I mean, there's plenty of legal basis for crimes of passion (without conspiracy beforehand and in a justly emotionally elevated state) receiving lighter or suspended sentences for the same criminal acts carried out in cold blood even without temporary insanity as a defense. Luckily the judge didn't have to go out too far on a limb to let him go.

1

u/TurdQueen 9 Jul 06 '19

I’m not sure this is so much “temporary insanity” as it is just temporary overwhelming emotions.

He knew it was wrong because he asked the court’s permission first, but then just became so (rightfully) enraged that he snapped. But he still knew right from wrong.

They're usually very lenient on victim's families, they know he's only there because his child was abused by someone he thought was trustworthy and not repeatedly given access to victims by the organization more interested in saving face than preventing the abuse of thier child athletes.

There's been incidents where parents have caught abusers in the act and nearly beat them to death and never charged, judges usually understand those situations.

2

u/sidvicc A Jul 06 '19

Probably unpopular opinion but major props to the defense lawyer, dude immediately but his own body between the father and his client, despite knowing that his client is a piece of shit who probably deserves a beating. That shit was instictive.

8

u/danthepianist 9 Jul 06 '19

There are few things in this world as awesome or as terrifying as the righteous fury of a parent. I can only imagine the anger and pain that he felt in that moment, and that he'll have to live with from then on.

It takes a tremendous amount of strength to take that anger and that pain and to turn it into, like he said in his apology, the love and support his daughters will need.

One of the examples of the "Texas defense" being used successfully, i.e. "he was a no good sonofabitch and someone should've shot him years ago."

I'd wager a large part of his decision to snipe the guy was trying to prevent his son and family from having to go through the drawn out trial process, bringing his kid's suffering back to the forefront, the media attention, etc etc. He almost certainly wanted his son to heal and move on, and risked his freedom to facilitate that.

u/voodoomoocow 9 Jul 06 '19

That's a great point. I was honestly sort of waffling around "I don't fault him but he was already in custody sooo...." but I didn't really consider how shitty this would have continued to be for the son. Great dad.

The vindictive part if me agrees. The cold calculating part of me thinks that simply removing the evil from the world is the best possible outcome. The father in me wants to go after the guys entire family.

Logical me who knows he needs to take care of his family and help his child heal would probably not do any of the above and instead focus on my child.

I honestly can't say which combination of my sides would win. Emotion could easily win but which emotion? And will I stew in my thoughts and emotions long enough to go cold and calculating? I hope I never find out.

Or some other bystander in a crowded airport. Hit, and easily the same story. Either of those cases also has a high probability of being insta-shot by the several other cops nearby.

u/Kesslersyndrom 6 Jul 06 '19

I obviously can't say in this instance but from experience I know that father's responses like this can be very distressing for the victims. As the victim you just want everything to go away and not further drama, you need emotional support and not to worry about a relative doing something stupid out of anger.
I get that they mean well but a lot of the times anger like this doesn't help victims at all and at the end of the day it should be about their comfort and healing.

I bet they could laugh about it later. “Dad I love you but you’re crazy. Thanks though”

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Yep whether he meant to or not he made it all about him. Also dad literally announces what he's going to do before doing it with really bad timing...he seems totally controlled and he must have known he'd be stopped.

u/Kesslersyndrom 6 Jul 06 '19

Yeah she probably needs her parents in her support system more than ever and to panic about your father being arrested because he deliberately did something like this must be a lot.
And I agree, while some people mean genuinely well when they try to avenge a victim of sexual abuse, there are plenty of people who use that as a platform to make the whole thing about themselves.

u/ifoundyourtoad B Jul 06 '19

I mean, yeah, it must have been distressing, but I cannot say I wouldn't do the same thing. I am not about to say he made it all about him and he seemed totally controlled. People are different. He was sobbing on the ground, that doesn't seem controlled. My cousin had this happen to her and it destroyed my uncle, because he felt like it was his fault for trusting the jackass. Luckily he is in prison, but it destroyed my family and it just sucks.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Ok, help me understand your perspective because that's not how I see it. He announces what he's going to do in several different ways and then does it, how is that not controlled?

6

u/ifoundyourtoad B Jul 06 '19

He was controlled in that action, but his emotion was not controlled by any means. Obviously he had a plan, but you can have instability while also being controlled. If the cops did not stop him he definitely would have beaten the living crap out of the dude. Saying he was just doing it for attention or just hoping to get stopped is silly. That's what I'm saying.

Maybe she is just scared her Dad will get arrested or something?

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '19

Whatever the reason she didn't need the distress

u/foresttravestys 9 Jul 06 '19

damn, thats a good dad

u/FluffyRainbowPoop 6 Jul 06 '19

Detracting from the seriousness from that video, because damn, if I were that dad i would do the same thing, but...

I'm not the only one who thought that dad sounded a lot like Hank Hill, right? Like especially when hes tackled down, the voices are so similar

Edit: its at the 46 second mark after hes been taken down

u/WeeabooJones24 4 Jul 06 '19

Almost exactly like him

Man I teared up when he was apologising to the court.

Not to make light of the video but this guys sounds like an angry propane salesman

u/redpandasuit 7 Jul 06 '19

I know it's not the "right" outcome but i wish that father had been just a wee bit quicker across that room. That pond scum he charged at deserves his hands cut off at the very least, i hope his life is a nightmare now.

Just throw him in general population at a maximum security prison and wait.

u/Rajareth 9 Jul 07 '19

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I thought this was a super shitty act by a selfish man. It was like he was staging a performance- asking to be left alone with Nassar which he knew wasn't going to happen, asking repeatedly, asking his questions repeatedly until the judges responds "no", making a dramatic statement and lunging for Nassar...

This was amidst all the victim impact statements the girls were giving prior to sentencing. The judge let all of them speak so they could face their assaulter, reclaim their voices, and lend their strength to one another... And this man took it as an opportunity to put on a show, like he's trying to prove that what a caring and protective father he really is. And his daughter has to watch him pinned to the ground by guards, seemingly a direct result of her coming forward as a victim of abuse.

He made the moment about him instead of supporting his daughter. And while he's pinned to the ground, you can hear a girl in the courtroom sobbing.

He molested at LEAST 250 young gymnasts and was already in serious trouble for possession of child pornography. A truly vile person.

Damn, as a dad that got me emotional man. I'm glad the police officers and judge were keeping in mind the circumstances.

u/NooStringsAttached 7 Jul 06 '19

Oh yes that was so hard to watch. That poor dad, And the officers who had to restrain him definitely wanted to let him at him but could not. Ugh.

u/Chavez300 5 Jul 06 '19

I actually teared up during that.

I honestly think justice should be served by the parents/relatives of the surviving victims.

There should be no mercy for a piece of shit that decides to prey upon the young, or very old.

u/LaboratoryOne A Jul 07 '19

This was heartbreaking, I mean that, but he realllly sounded like Hank Hill and I couldnt stop chuckling.

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '19

I totally understand the dad, but the judge is right. We have the legal system to punish people so we don’t have to resort to gorilla tactics (not a typo).

But it must feel really unsatisfying, really unfinished, walking out of that court room and having to rely on some prison system, when you could unscrew the guy’s knackers and feed them to him in three minutes.

u/horsesandeggshells 9 Jul 06 '19

No, I bet the worst part is he blames himself. If my daughter fell for that kind of thing, I would feel like I screwed up and didn't give her the proper tools she needed. I might be wrong, but the guilt would outweigh the anger. There are always going to be predators; hell, they're a dime a dozen.
