Judge William Adams is a child abuser

[xris]

Ryan, your post is pathetic; for hitting his child, YOU get to murder him? What logic is that? Your wanton disregard for human life is troubling and perhaps you should consider evaluating your personal disposition as it relates to your childhood issues. I'm not in favor of the belt & most certainly disagree with this man's conduct, but...really?

Edit: Additionally, ignoring the mother's actions because she has "repented" is foolish and entirely sexist. I am aware that was a quote but it makes me uncomfortable that one person is absolved because of a book. Will that book make the beatings ok when Judge Adams finds it? I somehow doubt it.

Maybe its not my place to say this but... don't you think the fact that Ryan had to go through similar shit as a kid may have contributed to his "wanton disregard for human life"?

And please, lets not turn this into a something that could get locked. People need to see this, the man doesn't deserve to be a judge.

The continuation of human life requires that we rise above our base instincts and negative feelings. Ryan enacting violence on Judge Adams wont help or change anything; it will only cause more harm. Nothing will be fixed. Just more violence. The whys of his feeling's genesis are impossible to determine. Not every killer had a rough childhood and not every rough childhood makes a killer.

Can't he be criminally prosecuted?

Depends on whether the statute of limitations for child abuse (or whatever charge the prosecutor wants to bring) has expired.

As for removing him from the bench, procedures for removing a judge are set forth in state constitutions and will vary from state to state, but it's generally a difficult thing to remove a judge. It'll probably require a vote by the state senate and house of representatives, and/or some kind of action by the state supreme court.

Ryan, instead of stabbing him, why not try something more legal and constructive? Write a letter to the relevant people.

Some people engage in this.

A much better use of hyperbole would be "this is the worst display of abuse since Joyner v. Joyner!"

Edit: If Ryan is being hyperbolic, I still think the tone of his post is a sad indicator of how perverted personal feelings of justice have become. Go be a vigilante, maybe you'll get the belt too.

And what's your solution? Let him find another group of people to beat on? Abusers abuse. They poison everyone they touch and send their tendrils down the generations, as frequently those who who are abused either become abusers themselves, or they seek out abusers in their relationships, perpetuating the cycle. Maybe stabbing him is a bit harsh; how about we put him in prison instead and make sure it's well known that he's in for abusing a child. It'll be fun to see how long he lasts. Even serial killers have standards, it seems.

See, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that she's female. This has to do with the fact that she was a victim of the abuse as well. It is likely she was victimized as a young child, which is how she hooked up with this guy and stayed with him for so long. I'm curious to see just how much backbone you'd have with that kind of background.

Having my own life nearly taken away from my mother in a drunken rampage involving a gun, I value life more than anything, we all only get one, and once that's done that's done. The length of the video I did manage to watch sent me in tears.

I doubt I could kill a human, my dad was a hunter, and I couldn't even bring myself to shoot a bird.

As o.pwuaioc stated, it was hyperbole. Regardless of that though, I'm a strong believer in that those that value other peoples lives, especially their own child's life so little rarely are deserving of their own. Whether that means locking them up or getting the chair, it doesn't matter to me.

Go be a vigilante, maybe you'll get the belt too.

No one (wo/)man should be judge, jury & executioner. In America, there is a system for dealing with these issues. However you personally feel about this system, it is what we have. The only way to deal with the issue is through that system.

Wishing ill upon a man imprisoned (hypothetically) for his crimes is pathetic. Is no justice satisfying for you? Not only must he be jailed, but then harassed? Should he be raped, too?

The motivations for your actions do not (often!) negate the consequences of them. Her god may absolve her but if there is ever any action (that is, in the court system), she would be liable.

Thanks for assuming I've never been abused. Incorrect but Im glad I dont come off that way!

I think this is the way to do it.
