But, that is exactly what he did. He killed dogs. What he did WAS vicious. Those words describe exactly what he did.Valhalla wrote:

What I'm referring to is the way Michael Vick was called say, a dog-killer, that's name-calling, Peterson is going to face this same kind of negative reaction as well as someone has pointed out. Yes, people deserve to be called out for their actions. There are probably many parents and others in authority that have dished out this kind of punishment, some got away with it but Peterson definitely is going to be the brunt of some pretty vicious words, some of it may be deserved but I don't think all of it.
Part of society has already convicted AD because of the pictures. Yes, I have a son (30) and I did spank him and he was in a broken home environment starting when he was 8. I literally chewed my tongue off trying to not tell him the truth about what his mother was doing. And I knew to be careful in punishment because the X and I could never agree on that in the first place. Ironically, I never had to really discipline him after we were separated. He knew that there would be punishment coming if it was needed. She on the other hand got the worse of it. My son always misbehaved with her.
I never left the kind of marks on my kid that I have seen in the pictures. He (Peterson) crossed a line. Lots of people consider that abuse and that is THEIR judgement.
We all live with what we have done, whether convicted or not.
