Dad attacks Nassar (tried)

steveschneider wrote:My answer is the same as it was in the BOT thread, this is our system. It is in tragic situations that we let our emotions get the best of us. Can't let these emotions erode our institutions and you can't make exceptions.

I'm sure the father will get the charges dropped or at the very least something minimal will happen.

They’re saying they will charge the dad with assault. I think that’s such bullshit. I get this isn’t how the justice system works. But some things should change of how Justice is brought. I get you have he judge saying you’re giving him power. Maybe in some circumstances, but I disagree with this. That dad would certainly have the power and would help him heal. Plus the fucker deserves it. It’s pure justice. So frustrating.

Also reminds me of both my mom and dad telling me when I was young, that if some ducker did shit like that to me, they would both be in prison. And say it would be worth killing that fucker. I get it.

I get what you’re saying, but that’s not justice, that’s vengeance.

I feel the vengeance is justified.

I know there’s no way to make it a perfect system. I don’t agree with it in these circumstances. And I understand, it’s almost impossible to define what would count as an “exception.” But thinking you have to have a system with no emotion on things like this is impossible. And almost insulting for those victims.

In my fantasy world, justice is leaving Nassar with he victims/families in a room and let them deal with him. Then it would be the first step to letting them move on than rotting in prison .

Everyone should watch the Central Park 5 documentary by Ken Burns. It was a highly emotional case where people where a mob was forming ready to advocate vigilante justice. Donald Trump took out an 85,000 ad in the city papers calling for the death penalty to come back so they could be executed. Well turns out they were innocent. Where do you make the exceptions? You do it once in a case like this, and then on down the line someone is going to want it to happen in a case like the Central Park 5.

I get what your saying and it’s a good point.

We know for 100% fact Nassar is guilty.

I’m not trying to start a movement or change the system. I’m just stating what I wish could happen, and what I think is fair for this case. But I seriously hope that dad gets cleared for this.
