Posts like this make me lose faith in humanity. Yes she did download some songs illegaly and she deserved to be punished. But not like this this is just a brutal beatdown by her abusive father anyone still calling this "Discipline" should have their eyes checked.Batsamaritan said:I would vote for this judge, the problem with kids these days is they have no fear of authority, this little thief was illigally downloading, i bet she didnt do it again. If more parents were like the judge then we'd have less teen crime.
Sadly when it is your own child usually it is within the law. But in some places though you can only beat your children for disapline with your hand and only on places like on the behind and the hand.JochemDude said:Wait that guy could be reinstated, WHY ISN'T HE IN JAIL?
Atleast last time I checked beating people up with belts was still against the law.

... This wasn't about teaching her a lesson, this was about asserting his egotistical control over her and the household generally. If we had good parenting, there would be less teen crime. This is not good parenting, this is child abuse."Lay down, or I'll spank you on your fucking face!"
"You wanna put some more computer games on?"
"I never got my lick in on her! Get on your fucking stomach on the bed now!"
"You don't deserve to fucking be in this house."
"If I hear so much as you raise your fucking voice to me ... or you do one little thing wrong, you even look at me fucking wrong, I'm gonna take you in there and wear your fucking ass out with this belt!"
So a Judge purposely posed a beating of his own crippled daughter? There isn't anything he can really do to disprove this.Divine Miss Bee said:the fact that this was filmed at all makes me think it's faked. the chances that this "just happened" to be caught on video and released when he's up for re-election makes it really sketchy for me. does the OP have access to any news sources, the link to where the reddit post came from (besides the youtube video) or a personal testimonial? the man's face is obscured most of the time, so i don't know that pics of the judge in question would help much.
basically, fake until proven real beyond a shadow of a doubt, as is the eternal law of the internet. it's way too "perfectly" horrible to be real, IMO.
Not if they do a good job.Nobby said:I'm still trying to understand why judges in the US are elected? And some sheriffs are elected too aren't they?
That seems like a bad system.
emeraldrafael said:I can see two things wrong with this.
A) She did technically break the law, so really no one should be defending this girl for being punished for committing an illegal action that her father (as a judge) knew all to well could give her a prison sentence.
B) the mother said shes really sorry and isnt being held accountable even though she should have done something. This is just as much her fault as it is the fathers, more so hers in fact because she left the daughter alone in that situation and didnt fight to take her daughter away.*

Fucking what the fuck? This is completely indefensible. This is clearly abuse and if you can't see that then you have a very severely warped sense of morality. Believe it or not, worse things have happened than fucking piracy. Such as beating defenseless children or teenagers, just off the top of my head. It's sickening how people can watch that video and not be filled with contempt at this man. People who say things like this have either never had to experience abuse first hand or developed some kind of Stockholm Syndrome because of it. Nobody's authority should be absolute, and breaking the law does not make you an evil person. I would hope that people in today's "enlightened" generation could see that. How about trying some fucking perspective before you condemn a teenager for doing something which, all told, isn't that bad. But no, let's applaud the abusive asshole who beat a defenseless minor for 7 goddamn minutes.Batsamaritan said:I would vote for this judge, the problem with kids these days is they have no fear of authority, this little thief was illigally downloading, i bet she didnt do it again.
