Adrian Peterson--2 Year Old Son Attacked and in a coma... Police Investigating

[madness]

2-year old just got beaten to a pulp by a grown man. focus/anger should be on the coward who committed this act, not on whether or not AP was in his kid's life

 

[Born2BKing]

dont forget about Manti Te'o still playing after his "girlfriend" died

 

[Silkk]

nikka look like he doing on the inside

 

[MikelArteta]

That's the dude he grew up with since birth. It doesn't make it any less tragic if the person was older.

1. Smith was notified at the Ravens' hotel on Sunday shortly after 1 a.m. ET and, accompanied by a member of the Ravens' security staff, left immediately to be with his family.

smith brother was already DEAD

AP left the city when his child was still incoma, he wasnt even there when the plug was pulled. HE WAS NOT THERE WHEN HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD DREW HIS LAST BREATH

2. again as someone who has a sibling, and a sibling that has children. I know most parents love their children more than their brothers/siters no matter if their brotherh as been around 30 years and their child only 1 year.

Dude played after his brother died. You got Ryan Anderson going through training camp and a regular NBA season after his gf committed suicide.

you obviously aint a parent or your parent didnt care about you. Cause theres a huge difference between feelings for yo child vs your bro/gf I have parents calling at 3am there kid has a temp of 99 or coming in worried about sore throats like its the worst thing ever .

Looks like the racial lines are being drawn

 

[tru_m.a.c]

The only thing I have to say is, no matter how angry you feel, it pales in comparison to AP, the mother of the child, and the mothers side of the family. So just think about that before you start going on caps locks rants.

Then I'll just drop this article as I did in higher learning 2 days ago....

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 13, 2013 -- Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1965 report for the U.S. Department of Labor, “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action,” provoked a firestorm of debate in its probing of the roots of black poverty and the decline of the black nuclear family.

Nearly five decades later, “The Moynihan Report Revisited,” from the Urban Institute and Fathers Incorporated, gauges how the circumstances of black families have changed and how they compare with other racial and ethnic groups; documents how blacks still suffer from intersecting disadvantages that Moynihan referred to as a “tangle of pathologies”; and suggests ways to improve the circumstances of black families and reduce racial disparities.

Among the findings in “The Moynihan Report Revisited”:

• The statistics that so alarmed Moynihan have only grown worse, not only for blacks, but for whites and Hispanics as well. Today, the share of white children born outside marriage is about the same as the share was for black children in Moynihan’s day. Meanwhile, the percentage of black children born to unmarried mothers has tripled, remaining far higher than the percentage of white children born to unmarried mothers.
• In 1960, 20 percent of black children lived with their mothers but not their fathers; by 2010, 53 percent of all black children lived in such families. The share of white children living with their mothers but not their fathers climbed to 20 percent in 2010, up from 6 percent in 1960.
• There has been a marked retreat from marriage. In 1960, just over one-half of all black women were married and living with their husbands, compared with over two-thirds of white and Hispanic women. By 2010, only one-quarter of black women, two-fifths of Hispanic women, and one-half of white women lived with their spouses.
• That the decline of traditional families occurred across racial and ethnic groups indicates that factors driving the decline do not lie solely within the black community but in the larger social and economic context. Nevertheless, the consequences may be felt disproportionately among blacks as black children are far more likely to be born into and raised in father-absent families than are white children.

in regards to your article
malcolm x already shed light on this 50 years ago

"Our young girls, our daughters, and our baby sisters are becoming unwed mothers before they are hardly out of their teens. Our community has 1000’s of unwed mothers, that has no hope of ever getting a husband. Our community has 10’s of 1000’s of little black babies who have no father to act as their provider---"

but AD only knew 100% it was his kid last week though. I'm sure he planned to spend the offseason with him or something like that. But how can you grieve with someone you only seen twice a year?

It's weird, it's like a step/half brother you've never been close to, is dying in a hospital bed. You are supposed to sit down and think about all the memories yall had together and shyt like that. But if nothing comes up, you are like "damn, Im disrespecting this dude by even being here, I should let someone who really knew him be here"

This is the dumbest shyt i had ever seen to hate someone over.... if the mom is there, AD can leave.

and yall nikkas that want AD to break down crying in front of the cameras during a 2min interview, stop watching movies

No..The bond is established via being a father to your son, and he never had a chance to do that. If all it took is sharing the same DNA sequence to make being a parent attractive then we wouldn't be in this mess we're in now..

Look, I hope and pray that I'm never in a situation even remotely like this....I don't know how I would handle it...and since I'm not in APs shoes, I'm not gonna chastise him on how he handles this matter....I'm sure that AP is tremendously effected by this spiritually and emotionally, but since his behaviour and statements doesn't appeal to YALL'S criteria for how one should mourn, yall trying to go in on him...I don't think its fair....

In this particular case, AP was a sperm donor that never got a chance to be a father....Never held the kid...never heard him speak....never heard him call him daddy...never bathed him....never played with him...never took him in the locker room to show him off to his team mates....never read to him.....never kissed him....never hugged him...and the list goes on and on.......Man, its hard to mourn for somebody you don't really know, regardless of if you're related or not...

this basically what im tryin to say

the guy is Asian?
