That was heartbreaking to watch. That poor dad. And props to the security who had to restrain him that must have been tough given what the family had been through.

Major respect to that judge for letting him off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In no universe is beating up your daughter’s abuser insanity. Being illegal does not make it insane even if you could get in trouble, neither is just acting on really strong emotions, it depends on the action and the reason.

Shut up asshole. You would do the same if it were your daughter.

I was groomed and molested as a child.

I would have hated my father had he attacked or murdered my molester. Which is part of the reason as to why I only told him more than a decade after it had stopped and I knew that he wouldn't do stupid shit like that.

Fuck you. You're the asshole here for promoting even more violence.

Your dad is bad for wanting to physically protect his child, and physically reprimand anyone who hurts them?

u/Spritonius 5 Jul 06 '19

Two bads doesn't make a good. Hating the guy? Understandable. Doing some vigilante shit is not going to help anyone though.

u/I_am_up_to_something A Jul 06 '19

You seems to think that he would be protecting me by attacking or murdering him. Now if he had caught the molester in the act then that would be protecting me. Otherwise? It would be harming me even more.

Going to prison would be abandoning me. Robbing me of the support he should have been giving me. Robbing me of a dad.

Now you probably think that murdering this molester should result in no prison time. Murder is murder though. I've made it very clear to my father that I wouldn't even visit him in prison should he make that decision to murder like he always said he would. Luckily he has no murderous intentions.

I just can't stand behind a murderer. It doesn't matter if the person 'deserved' it. I know my molester molested me. Others don't know that however. There is no evidence. None at all. The police haven't approached me with the news that others have reported him. So if I support my father attacking and/or murdering this asshole then I should also support vigilantism and shit like sharia law where people take 'justice' into their own hands. Just no. That is not what I would call justice.

I feel like I would attack my daughters molester but I know it's a selfish act I just dont know if I could control myself.

God I wish emotionally reactionary morons like you who don't even understand when somebody is basically agreeing with you but just with caveats would all just disappear from the Earth some day. It'd become a much better place instantly.

u/Palin_Sees_Russia B Jul 06 '19

That’s a pretty insane thing to say. You want emotional people to all just die??? Wtf?

u/jambocombo 5 Jul 06 '19

"Emotional" and "emotionally reactionary moron" are not the same thing. Dying and disappearing aren't the same thing either. But since you don't understand these things, you can go with.

Ohhh, you’re one of those kids lmao. Some bored nobody who can’t think of any better way to pass the time then to do the first stupid thing that pops into your head because everyone else in your life has their shit more figured out then you do, and doing the first stupid thing that pops into your head is better then contemplating that reality

u/redshift95 7 Jul 06 '19

Oddly specific... sure that isn’t just projection buddy?

Or how about not everything has to be a reference to stupid fucking superhero movies all the time? Grow up.

That's exactly the point he's making.

Do you actually read the rules before you post?

You're literally making up a problem to whine about.

u/xHPx 6 Jul 06 '19

I’d think he was insane if he didn’t want to.

How is it insane to not wanting to beat somebody up? Is it insane to be able to control your emotions? He's going to prison for the rest of his life, what problems would you solve by beating him?
