        As a father I can understand where he's coming from. He's probably also feeling a lot of guilt for letting that happen to his girls.

        Not good news. Without the rule of law we are no better than wild animals using the law of the jungle. This standard should apply to the most vile to the innocent. Railing against trump's disregard of law and supporting others same disregard, because it feels good, is wrong.

        He should have trained for this moment and actually got a hand on that monster. That would have made it great news.

        The women who were assaulted had even more reason to be angry, yet they controlled themselves. Violence is never the answer. We use our words, not our fists. This incident points to the cause of much of our trouble, one little chromosome. Y? Do you have to ask?

        I'm shocked you didn't try and make this about white privilege somehow. The only tweet I've ever agreed with you on.

        Not sure that’s good news Shaun. I think he should have been charged with the crime he clearly committed. Sentencing allows for mitigating circumstances to be introduced and the charges could even be dismissed.

        Great! They should award him a gold medal for trying to get his hands on Nassar.
