Were you also raised to make snap judgements on an individual based on about 8 seconds of video taken out of context and mixed into whatever spin the hair do's on local news thought would maximize the indignation and moral outrage of the viewer?
All I'm trying to get at, is there we know nothing about this guy. He could be a scumbag human being or he could be a great father. Most people on here who are parents, have kids who managed at one point or another to get themselves into a situation, that scared their parents so bad they over-reacted out of fear and a genuine concern for the well being of their kids.
Not to mention that prime witnesses against this guy, are his baby momma who probably has a bone to pick and her friend who was quick to provide the video and call the LEO. Having seen the evils a scorned woman is capable of, I'm going to give the guy the benefit of the doubt based on that alone.
I would also argue what the world needs is a bit more logic, common sense, and calm-headedness, and less snap judgements and instinctual emotional reactions. This is why I stopped watching the news, as it seems very focused on the latter while completely ignoring the former.
