But perhaps he was "just angry and pissed off." Would that change the analysis in your eyes? I would think/hope so.
So as I said in the below thread, we are giving Peterson a generous interpretation if we believe the "just disciplining" argument. Especially since he has done this more than once (allegedly). You'd think after seeing the outcome of the first abuse, that if he was just an honest father trying to discipline his son, he'd realize it's his methods are not right and that he'd change his ways. The fact that it has happened more than once (allegedly) suggests to me that the "just disciplining" argument is ... generous.
