Gymratfwp Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Much love to AP. Hope he and his family gets through this. Wouldn't wish this on anyone. Horrible, horrible news. Doesn't get much worse than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You know, I'm fully anti-death penalty, but this case, cases like this where children are the victims, really makes me waiver on my stance. Short of molesting him first and then killing him, I'm not sure there's a worse crime than this. Absolutely sickening. And you better believe folks in prison are going to give it to him. He'll probably spend the rest of his life in PC (protective custody/punk city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGriffin Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BWUb1GBIYAAU4nk.jpg:large There is a picture of Adrian and his son for those who want to look. I can't format it. This is truly truly sad. My prayers and condolences go out to Adrian Peterson and his family. I'm over here tearing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Oh my Lord how tragic. My heart goes out to the Peterson family. (And can we PLEASE, ALL take a step back from condemning the family members what ever we may or may not feel. They've just lost a child before his life has even begun. Now is NOT the time people.). Tragedy's like this put EVERYTHING in perspective. Worrying about a game of football in Arlington Sunday night seems so trivial and crass in comparison to the Peterson loss. God rest little one. Thoughts and prayers to the Peterson family at this terrible, heartbreaking time. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I accused the mom, I was just making an assumption. My gut feeling has been confirmed after I read about this boyfriend's past. Two assult and abuse charges. That's why I'm pissed at the mom as well. And the system is so meesed up if AD would have filed for custody because of his ex's boyfriend, he would most likely been denied.

elkabong82 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Terrible terrible news. Thoughts and prayers to AP and his family. RIP little one. Le'ts hope they throw this creep in prison and lock away the key. I'm sure this piece of trash will get what's coming to him in there too. Just awful. What an awful human being this guy is.

Koolblue13 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We have a woman staying here at the farm I live on and she overheard two of us talking about it and she asked what team. When we told her, her response was "I wonder if my brother knew him, he just retired from the Vikings this year". Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Patterson was charged over the assault of a three-year-old boy in 2012. The mother of his child had asked for protection orders twice, claiming he choked and punched her, threatened her with a knife and held her in the bedroom against her will, according to records. In 2012, Patterson was charged with simple assault against the mother and was ordered to undergo family violence training and to stay away from her until completing it. The accused man, Joseph Robert Patterson has a son with another Sioux Falls woman, court records show.

Mr. Sinister Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The guy had been charged with assaulting a three year old last year and had a history of violence. Why the hell did the mother allow him near her son, let alone leave the animal alone with the child? That's my problem with this. It is more than legit to ask that, imo even before the guys history came out. Stuff like that usually doesn't pop up out of nowhere. There's usually a trail, and even certain behavioral patterns that should be able to tip off anyone with any sort of common sense. That is just careless. And her son paid for that carelessness.

All that money, why was he not living with him?? He could have saved that kid. AP is no less at fault than the Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We've had TWO cases of the boyfriend killing his girlfriend's child in about a year over here. Where do they find these guys? Seriously, I throw a lot of the blame on the moms. Some of these dumbass women will let any man watch over their kids.HOW ARE DADS/AP GETTING A PASS HERE?!?!They should not let there kids stay with these guys! They have just as much blame.

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 From what I understand, paternity was disputed and only recently resolved showing Peterson to be the biological father. He probably didn't have much of a relationship with the mother and certainly had no case for custody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffmark1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 HOW ARE DADS/AP GETTING A PASS HERE?!?! They should not let there kids stay with these guys! They have just as much blame. It's Friday, I don't post on Friday, but this post is ridiculous, the man just lost his son. Not to some disease or something but to a heinous act against a defenseless child. All I can say is I have heartfelt prayers for AP and his family. I wish that the Lord grants him peace and Love during this time. And people as a whole need love and mercy.

The posts i quoted were attacking the mom ... all I said was AP should get blame as well, if we are dishing out blame, like the aforementioned posts that I quoted were. It was his kid also and the child was his responsibility just like the mom, but the posts I quoted seem to lay a lot of the blame on just the mom. read ...

Cliffmark1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I don't care what you think you were doing. What you did was attack someone who just lost their two year old son to murder. If you're okay with that, you're okay with that. but that's not how I would want to treat people or be treated during one of the most intensely negative experiences possible during life. Again people need love and mercy, I'm not going to blame you for taking this opportunity to also dish out blame but I would suggest there are better choices. Like praying for AP and his family, the child's mom and the child. Saying a kind word to people in times of trouble, being strong in your own.

Spear Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is horrible and I feel for Adrian. The situation leading up to it horrifies me in a different way. I would not be able to handle some casual fling carrying and then raising my child in the middle of nowhere in the same household as a violent piece of filth. That would drive me up a wall. I want everything I care about under my roof. I hope they don't turn this into some kind of on-the-field story and tie his performance to "playing for his son". This tragedy should only illustrate how meaningless this game is, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't directing my original post at you or anyone else in particular. It was a general point that as much as I appreciate this is an open, democratic message board, for me, a thread like this mourning the loss of such a young life is too soon to be discussing the why's and wherefores in the same day as his passing.

I still don't get it on how some people just can get to that kind of things. That makes me sad and really sorry for AP. It's hard to wish him well right now, but I really hope he can lives through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Biggums Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I just do not understand what could motivate someone to do something like that to an infant. What possible gain, thrill, advantage, or pleasure could one possibly get? It really is outside of things that view as conceivable (until they happen, of course), in my universe. It's beyond my range of thought process to even to begin the thought process that must be going through someones mind for this to happen. It's really sad, sicking, and scarey. The thought of people like this walking the face of the earth is disgusting. Im a God Fearing man and Im all about compassion but I have none, zero compassion for this inhumane individual. Not because it's Adrian Peterson's child, but the fact that it was a defenseless infant. Geez just sad brother God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Why was this monster out and not behind bars? Our justice system sucks. If you murder a child then it is game over. Hopefully Joseph Robert Patterson is murdered in prison....anything else would be a slap on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
