The evidence of bloody wounds on the child's body and eyewitness testimony and Peterson's admission .. all is sufficient to indict on child abuse.
One does not inflict wounds on a child.
Frequently when such wounds are inflicted, the parent is not providing correction but is venting emotion, and it is the venting of emotion that causes the striking to be excessive sufficient to cause such wounds. When such venting of emotion occurs, the parent is out of control.
So, according to our laws, Peterson needs to be indicted, etc.
But, The Vikings and the NFL are, once again, out of line depriving Peterson of his paycheck.
This is a public matter, the realm of our legal justice system.
This is not a private (enterprise) matter, the realm of the Vikings and the NFL.
Peterson should remain with the team, innocent until PROVEN guilty, and, if he's proven guilty and his punishment still allows him the freedom to play for the Vikings, he should be allowed to do so.
There is no excuse for preventing anyone from earning a living in such a situation as this other than because that person is compelled by our legal justice system to be unavailable.
If the Vikings want to make him "invisible" for a while, then, if that's justified, they may do so.
But, not without pay!
The court of public opinion is looking to punish Peterson, especially the liberal "justices".
But the court of public opinion is, without question, not a court at all.
Those wanting to deprive Peterson of his paycheck because they seek vengeance for what was done to them in the past by taking that out on others .. should just shut up and go away, back to their therapist.
