My heart agrees. My head doesn't. 

I wonder what will happen to the guy.  Fine and misdemeanor, I assume.  Can't see 12 jurors convicting him of anything, though.

I believe the judge said nothing is going to happen.

The judge isn't charging him. 

Everyone in the courtroom was told that this is not what an impact statement is to be about. 

No profanity and no threats.

No charges, he apoligized to the Judge and she accepted his apoligy.

I wonder how many folks would have cheered if the father had gotten to Nasser and killed him?  That would take us right back to a discussion of whether the death penalty is morally wrong.

I would have cheered and don’t think the death penalty is morally wrong.

Feel bad for the guy. He’s very upset and desperate. And I don’t blame him at all.

 My thoughts exactly.   If I was a deputy in the room,  I wound have moved slowly to stop him. Just slow enough to let him have one punch.

If you get on twitter, you'll see the hundreds of people posting "those deputies tackled him and put him in cuffs, yet when a black kid does that on the streets, they shoot him!" and the thousands of retweets. Because it's totally the same thing!

I know I’m being irrational here but it’s frustrating to watch him get tackled within a couple seconds by police but Nassar was able to survive years of police investigating.

This Is why I try to stick to sports on Twitter.

Is that even possible? No matter who I follow or don't follow, at some point, they'll have a bad take on something that they feel everyone needs to hear.

 That's why I said try. The mainline ESPN guys are pretty bad about it.

Seth Davis is the worst about it.
