1. republican "values" need to get flushed back into the cesspool they crawled out of

deplorable ain't a strong enough word

[JustAnotherGen]

2. I'm going to take the heaven05 approach

We should wait and see what comes of this before jumping to conclusions.

In this day and age with constant bombardment - I can't let rage take hold.

I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that he will never be charged, and if indeed he IS the perp, he gets his day in court.

That's all I can do.

[heaven05]

6. Ha! Yes

that's all anyone can do with a hate crime such as this

[heaven05]

3. time to make

his faced recognized for what he is. All over a simple game. I hope that they sue him if they can as an active duty armed service member. I hope he meets someone from his weight class, fitness and age with his shit.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. This is a hate crime if I saw one...man, I hope the kid is going okay! Nt

[uponit7771]

5. So a 38 yr old gets in on his sons fight and beats up the kid himself ?!

[Phoenix61]

7. Not unusual for active duty.

The military will press charges and the state will drop theirs. The Navy can make his life much, much worse than the civilians can. Depending on how close he is to retirement the ultimate punishment is booted out under 20 years so retirement is forfeited.

[unblock]

9. if he's 38 he might be really close to 20 years.

[uponit7771]

17. Damn, why not let the kid fight his own fight first and stop it when it gets out of hand ?!

[unblock]

19. or try to keep anyone from fighting at all? i mean, call me crazy,....

[LisaM]

26. Yes ---- it sounds like a collision of a hate crime AND

sports parents run amok. There are way too many instances of this in youth sport anyway, and this adds a really ugly layer.

[uponit7771]

14. Yep

15. UCMJ is far more strict than civilian courts may be. Article 128 at a minimum.

Especially since he beat a civilian kid in front of civilian witnesses at a civilian event just because the kids were doing what kids do. It doesn't matter how serious a racist local sheriff or prosecutor thinks the matter is. And I'm pretty sure there was alcohol involved. The guy is not only a CPO - a supposed leader - but he's working with recruiters, in which there are always public optics to deal with.
The Navy can't bury this incident on base. He's got to go.

Article 128:
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who attempts or offers with unlawful force or violence to do bodily harm to another person, whether or not the attempt or offer is consummated, is guilty of assault and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
(b) Any person subject to this chapter who–
(1) commits an assault with a dangerous weapon or other means or force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm; or
(2) commits an assault and intentionally inflicts grievous bodily harm with or without a weapon;
is guilty of aggravated assault and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

At the very least, less than honorable discharge and no pension. No military health care, no VA benefits. And he has to start over in the civilian world with a bad discharge - he might as well have been charged with felony assault.

40. Will the Navy release what they decide to the public?

[haele]

41. No.

However, it will be on his record, so whenever he applies for a job or anything else that might check his criminal record, it will show up.

He will be able to vote, though.

[Tipperary]

21. And it seems he is a recruiter.

Say good bye to that cushy job.

[Corgigal]

30. Agreed,

Let the Navy due this clown in. Goodbye to your family's security. Beating up a child, what a recruitment poster.

[Judi Lynn]

37. Something to hope for, by all means. Thanks for the info. n/t

13. Misdemeanor assault for viciously attacking a child:

Near the end of a sand soccer game last Saturday at the Oceanfront, two boys on opposing teams began pursuing the ball.

After it went out of bounds, a brawl broke out between the two.

What happened next stunned onlookers, and left some of the players who witnessed it feeling fearful and traumatized. It also led to a hospital visit and stitches for one of the teens, and caused police to arrest the father of the other player.

Jordan Lee Grinnell, 38, of Virginia Beach, was charged with misdemeanor assault, police said. He was released on bond afterward.

31. Needs to be a felony charge. Throw the book. White privilege. Teach his kid the REAL LESSON. . . nt

[heaven05]

34. nt

[xmas74]

36. It's just a simple charge

Because he's active duty. They don't want to get involved in a big case because the Navy will pick this up and run with it. The city/state will drop charges when the Navy picks up and the charges from the Navy will be severe.

I live in a military town. Local almost always gives a misdemeanor charge unless it's so severe it needs a huge bond or no bond. The military will pick up the charges so most prosecutors see no reason to file beyond the misdemeanor. It's just not worth their time.

BTW - assault against a child in public with civilian onlookers? He's done for.

[workinclasszero]

16. OMG this scumball

Needs to be drummed out of the Navy and locked the F up!

[Tipperary]

22. Yep.

[Codeine]

18. What a bag of shit.

Big man beats up a little boy over a game with a ball. Lock him up and destroy his livelihood. No career, no pension, no future -- just shaming and incarceration.

[Takket]

20. Wow... never would have expected this from the party

That supports kidnapping children and locking them in cages.

[Tipperary]

24. He is a republican?

[ecstatic]

23. Scary times. The MAGAdiots are so full of hate and rage

and they carry guns. Unreal. Lock his crazy, racist ass up!

[Mc Mike]

25. Felony. Hate crime. Needs to be cashiered by the Navy, too.

[AlexSFCA]

27. many years in prison

aggrevated assault against minor + hate crime. Let’s make him famous and suffer for life.

[onecaliberal]

28. Lock that hate maggot up and throw away the key.

[pansypoo53219]

32. he needs a felony charge so he can't vote for years.

[NCjack]

33. The African-American kid just put away racist.

I wish I could buy him a pizza.

Hummm. I can't, but I can pay it "sideways". I will watch for a nice AA teenager, and give him a copy of the DU story about Jordan Lee Grinnell. Then, I going to thank him instead of JLG's victim who took the beating, and I will buy him a pizza.

[Demonaut]

35. E7?....he's fucked
