How is Peterson case a news story?

My thoughts about the Adrian Peterson thing …

This makes me so mad. Back when we grew up, it was OK to spank a child on the bare butt, make them feel inferior (to be seen and not heard), pop them in the mouth, put soap in their mouth and so much more. I believe that they are putting way too much attention on popular cases.

What about the child who has no food or clothes? What about the person on the road who puts lives in danger after drinking? What about the child molester you put in my neighborhood? What about the parent who leaves their children home to drink or do drugs or run the streets? What about the children locked in basements or closets? What about the neighborhoods where I have to board my windows from gunshots? What about the war our troops are fighting overseas when we can’t even fight our own war here in the United States?

We don’t hear about those stories because their not “newsworthy” or “popular.” I’m disgusted where we are in this society of “law” of ours. Skol AP.
