What the hell?

Joseph Robert Patterson, the man accused of beating the 2-year-old child of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, was previously charged with assaulting a 3-year-old boy last year, according to a report.

After Patterson was indicted on several counts for last year’s incident, the woman took out a protection order against him. The woman said he spanked the child so hard that the child had welts on his buttocks and needed an icepack.

He then ordered the other children to go to their rooms and grabbed the woman by the throat.

“He has threaten (sic) to kill me multiple times,” the woman said, according to the paper.

Kekoland TV reported that Patterson has been arrested several times on several counts. He was arrested in 2004 for violating a protection order–which was dropped, he also was charged with assault in 2012, and he was charged in 2010 with eluding officers.

Step 1: Release Aaron Hernandez
Step 2: Let Aaron Hernandez and this guy become friends
Step 3: While out at a club after a long night of drinking a sherm smoking, tell Aaron that this guy "dissed" him.

Aaron could become like the NFL's Dexter.

When I hear about stuff like this frustration always follows as we no longer have punishments barbaric enough for justice to actually be served. Neither a life sentence or lethal injection come close to being harsh enough; this scum bag should feel every ounce of fear and pain the child felt and then, and only then should he be erased from existence.
 
I'm sure that's the worst fear of any parent with a stepparent raising them outside of your house. I would not be happy about that.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The mother of your child's boyfriend, just beat your child to death....I would not be able to not try to kill the motherfucker as soon as possible, this is horrible.

I would murder the person who murdered my child. As a new father I now understand what this love is and can say with a straight face that I would end a man's life with no remorse.

Wow, I wonder if AP's wife only found out about that kid this week. His other son look the same age. Really fucked up.

My heart breaks. Last I heard the boy was in the hospital and I was hoping he'd be ok.

Fucking trash. They should let the team beat that dude to death.

Poor AP. I have a 2yo boy, and I can't imagine this kind of thing happening.

I would actually be scared of what I would try and do to someone who harmed one of my kids.

Not unless she had any reasonable way of knowing he would do something like this, which it doesn't seem like we have anything on, by this logic the NFL player should also be thrown in jail right, because he allowed himself to get a kid with a woman unstable enough to go and get together with a psychopath?

She no doubt feels fucking awful and is already blaming herself enough, unless some new info on that comes out people shouldn't blame her or anyone else than the person who did it.
She trusted her kids life to a psycho.

She should also to to jail IMO.

The boyfriend has a history of this.

Seems like this was not posted here yet... so I am a lifelong Vikings fan so of course it was a shock the news this week.. but some details have leaked out. AP met his child for the first time when he was in the hospital and only recently even knew he was the father.

This might... explain the oddness some people are saying he is displaying like only being there for a short time and expecting to play this weekend.

In the end... who the father was does not matter of course. A little child is gone for no reason at all..

Still was a class act when he was told it seems.

When he learned 2 months ago he was the father..
"We're told ... when Adrian was first informed about the matter, he didn't question the possibility he was the dad -- but rather asked how he could help the situation."

most abusers dont advertise that they are abusers fyi

From what I understand of it, this isn't his first offense. I will never understand someone that stays with someone who beats them. Man or woman. The first time I get beat by the person that is supposed to be my partner and who is supposed to be on my side they get shown the door. There isn't a second chance.

My heart goes out to AP this weekend.

Edit: Did a little research (NY Times):

Patterson was indicted in June 2012 on several counts of simple assault involving an ex-girlfriend and her 3-year-old son, according to the Argus Leader. Patterson was later charged for violating a no-contact order. He was sentenced to one year in jail for both cases but that time was suspended on the condition he attend domestic violence counseling.

This entire situation makes me not understand people like AP even more.

How can he sit back and say he does not believe two people of the same gender should be allowed to get married(seemingly based on a Christian background), and then break his religion by fucking out of wedlock? Dude, pick a side and stick with it.

How did he abandon the kid? He wasn't even informed that the kid was his until recently, and he didn't even doubt it he just wanted to know how he could help.

I must be getting different information then...I'm going wait until it is all out there...just seems odd. Guy has a bastard love child and is going around invoking the Lords name. Just seems like he is trying to invoke a lot of sympathy for a situation that would never have happened if he was a better man.

he is not invoking sympathy. the media jumped all over this because it's a story and he is constantly being asked about it. What do you want him to say? "I didn't know the kid so I'm not that sad"? It's got to be really confusing for him.

I'm still confused about what you're getting at. AP has barely even said anything about this. He thanked people on twitter for their support and that was about it. As with many people in similar situations he doesn't really want to talk much about it. And while he may have not really known the kid, it's still going to be one hell of a punch in the gut to find out that your kid had been killed.

Be honest or don't say anything at all. Explain the situation.

I heard wrong from a friend. Still doesn't change the fact that he putting himself in a position for this to happen and then invoking the Lords name.

How do you put yourself in a position to have a 2 year old beaten to death?

And even if you can't possibly help yourself in being the "religion sucks and he's a hypocrite /edgy" guy, that's really got nothing to do with TMZ jumping all over this and him falling back on his belief system. Last I checked there were no perfect Christians/Muslims/Jews/etc but in how many ways is that NOT the point of anything going on right now?
 
This is so terrible. Peterson has really been through so much in his life. When he was 8 his brother was kid right in front of him by a drunk driver, his dad went to jail for 10 years when he was 12, and he tears his ACL two years ago, yet he somehow manages to retain a positive outlook on life and continues to push forward and succeed.

Such a testament to the human will and spirit, I hope he can recover from this tragedy somehow...

Why should he have to explain anything? Does he owe us his deepest thoughts or insights? He is being asked about it from every angle, he's not going around asking for this attention.
The don't invoke the Lords name and say he doesn't put anything on me that I can't handle. Especially when this whole situation occurred because you had a child out of wedlock. If your gonna take that route then I'll hold you partially responsible for recklessly bringing a child into this world.

Personally, I don't give a damn about Adrian Peterson. But I'm forced to hear this shit at work and it's annoying.

He's a flawed man, he'd probably be the first to tell you that. Your desire to try and turn him into a villain in a situation where a child was beaten to death by another man is silly.

Really? When you put your sperm into random women with no regard as to whether a child is born then you raise the probability of bad stuff happening(assuming you would be a good and protective father).

And I'm not some guy who runs a round bashing religion. I just hate people that selectively use it.
