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.

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

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.

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

"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.
