Colin Cowherd commented yesterday on an experience he and his staff had with AD several years ago. AD (according to Cowherd) derived pleasure from crushing the hand he shook, including the female staffers. They all commented upon it at the time, feeling that there may be a screw loose with AD. Whatever your opinion of Cowherd is, I'd take that under advisement.
AD had 6 kids, by various relationships. Had is because 1 of them died, due to child abuse. Not by his hand, but by the hands of one of his various and assorted women-folk's boyfriend's hand. I would think that a dead kid would give a man some pause as to his own philosophy regarding what level of discipline to instill in a child. Apparently not.
This is not a full-time father, he is a cameo appearance father. From what I have read regarding the son he beat with a stick, the kid says his dad has a whippin' room with belts and such. A 4 year old. I have a 4 year old grand-daughter living with me. If anybody took a stick to her, I think I'd kill the motherfucker, regardless of her high offenses at the time.
