Police Investigate Texas Judge Over Video Beating

By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and DIANA HEIDGERD Associated Press

PORTLAND, Texas November 3, 2011 (AP)

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/police-investigate-texas-judge-video-beating-14870188

Police launched an investigation Wednesday into a Texas family law judge whose daughter posted a YouTube video of him savagely beating her with a belt during a tirade several years ago when she was a teenager.

The nearly 8-minute video, which had been viewed more than 600,000 times since it was uploaded last week, shows Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams lashing his then-16-year-old daughter in the legs more than a dozen times and growing increasingly irate while she screams and refuses to turn over on a bed to be beaten.

"Lay down or I'll spank you in your (expletive) face," Adams screams. His daughter, Hillary, wails and pleads for him to stop.

1. Monsterous fuck!

:grr:

[enough]

2. And the mother advises "Take it like a woman." I could only watch the first couple of minutes.

The thing is too horrible. But that quote from the mother really stands out: "Take it like a woman."

[fishwax]

24. oh that's hideous

I've not watched the video--don't think I will, based on what everyone has said about it. But I saw a poster in another thread who also quoted that comment. Ugh. :puke: :grr:

[Fawke Em]

31. Well, it's obvious the mother was beaten, too.

No woman in her right mind would suggest to her child that she take a beating "like a woman" unless she'd also been indoctrinated by beatings.

Sick.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

3. There are lots of jerkwad judges in Texas. I don't know this guy.

I worked for a lot of sociopathic and just plain mean and cruel judges and lawyers in Houston.
Some lied about me, threatened to file grievances against me, told me I was incompetent and they would be happy for me to quit, etc.

Lots of nutcases that think they are God.

[RainDog]

4. child abuse, plain and clear n/t

[Serve The Servants]

5. Typical old school conservative family values in action.

You know, the philosophy on how to raise your family the Neocons wish American's would return to? "Spare the Rod, Spoil the child" or some shit.

Fucking MONSTER, this guy.

Safe to say, there's going to be one less abusive psychopath wearing a robe by the end of the week.

[FLAprogressive]

6. I bet the conservative Christian "disciplinarians" love this. It's horrifying.

[Kurmudgeon]

19. You should have put quote marks around the word "Christian" as well.

Don't let right wing use Christianity for their own purpose.
Conservatism is it's own unrelated form of religion.

[TheMadMonk]

23. You don't get to defend the faith till you clean out the filth. EOM

[Kurmudgeon]

25. Ok, you don't get to judge until you do the same for the faithless.

[derby378]

7. If he's a Republican, I thoroughly expect Democrats to fight for his soon-vacant seat

Bastard. His daughter would be justified in repaying in kind, but at least this video just might ruin his career on the bench.

[canetoad]

9. Something I've been wondering

Since I first read this story is - how common is the name 'Hillary' in the USA? The young woman was born around 1988, being 16 at the time of the beating in 2004.

Is it possible she was named after Hillary Clinton? If so, this monstrous father could well be a Democrat.

[yardwork]

14. Clinton was not elected president until 1992. Unless these people are from Arkansas

I doubt they'd heard of Hillary Clinton in 1988. It's not that uncommon a name.

[canetoad]

15. Thanks

I have only met two people in 50-odd years with the name of Hillary; it must be more common in the USA than I thought.

[TBF]

17. It was a pretty common name at that point -

30. In Aransas County?

Don't hold your breath. Aransas Co., TX has as many Democrats as an August day has snowflakes.

[Serve The Servants]

10. I find it so very fitting

that because Judge Adams beat his handicapped child for downloading content over the internet, now this monsters career will be over because she uploaded content.

This also further demonstrates how much authoritarians HATE cameras.


BTW, yes he is a Republican who's 1998 election campaign was based on restoring "Conservative Values".

[procon]

11. Yep, he's a Republican

12. It is because of the likes of that stinking fucker that I will continue to believe in a hell! Burn

forever you pig!

[derby378]

13. Great catch!

Thank you. :hug:

[ZombieHorde]

8. I watched the first 45 seconds of the video, it looks brutal.

"Lay down or I'll spank you in your (expletive) face," Adams screams. His daughter, Hillary, wails and pleads for him to stop.

So according to ABC News, descriptions of violence against children are fine, but swear words cross the line. Crazy world.

[provis99]

16. well this is pretty common in the South.

It's an ordinary thing for kids to be belt-whipped by their parents in the Bible Belt; I used to see this right out in public. Had a friend get whipped by his father at a video arcade in Memphis for being late coming home from school (he got thrown against an arcade game too; I had to keep it from tipping over).

I suppose non-Southerners might be a little shocked.

[derby378]

20. Uh, the whipping is usually confined to the butt

If that belt starts landing on legs, stomach, back, etc., that's abuse, and you would have been justified in taking the belt from that guy in Memphis and beating the shit out of him.

[provis99]

21. hell, no, I'd never get involved in that situation.

Being technically justified, and acting realistically are two separate things. Likely, the Memphis cops would have arrested me, not him.

And I've seen other cases too; its a common thing.

[Pithlet]

22. People do get arrested for beating their kids with belts, even here in the south.

I live in Memphis, and it makes the news. Times are changing, even here.

[Kurmudgeon]

18. He hit her 14 times in the 1st minute, then his wife came in and grabbed the belt.

Truly out of control and incredible. I couldn't watch after that just in case he couldn't keep himself from hitting her again.

[donheld]

26. She grabbed the belt, but he got it back

and did it more.

[Elsewheres Grandson]

27. How many wingnuts are whacking off to this right now?

Republican porn. Disgusting! :puke:

[noiretextatique]

28. this is assault and battery

and i hope this coward goes to jail for viciously attacking his daughter.

[BlueDemKev]

29. C'mon Judge, try that on a man.....

Hey Soon-To-Be-Ex-Judge,

I purchased a copy of Walt Disney's movie "Song of the South" on ebay back in 2007 (since Disney refuses to release the movie for regular sale in the U.S.), and I've let my kids watch it. You gonna come and beat me now, you piece-of-shit? C'mon asshole, let's see you try it. Come on over to Georgia...we're even bigger rednecks than you are.

C'mon coward, come and meet your match. What's wrong? You can beat a helpless disabled girl, why don't you come try to do that to a grown man...just make sure you've paid your last life insurance premium before coming over. Then again, I doubt your daughter would want to give you a proper burial....she'd probably rather throw your dead ass off the South Groin Pier in Rockport Harbor and let the sharks feed off you.
