DON LEMON IS WAY OUT OF LINE

Don Lemon spoke out about what’s bothering him about Adrian Peterson’s son being beaten to death. If you have not heard what Don Lemon’s thoughts were refer to the audio on my twitter timeline entitled, “Don Lemon’s Comments”. However, my question is has Don Lemon ever met Adrian Peterson? I am guessing not and I am also making the best educated guess that Don Lemon has no clue what exactly happened in the relationship between Adrian Peterson and his two year old son. Don Lemon describes how the boy has never spent time with Adrian Peterson and how Adrian Peterson never made the effort to spend time with his son. However the biggest issue with this is that when a life has been lost and in this case the son of Adrian Peterson it is way out of line for Don Lemon to be judging a situation that he knows nothing about and he knows nothing about Adrian Peterson because by a long shot in the dark I am going to guess that he has never in his life met Adrian Peterson. So it bothers me that Don Lemon goes on to give his opinion about someone he does not know and does not care to know but he does care enough to judge the situation while sprinkling in his comments “Again I’m not judging” which hence to me he’s judging. I’m sure Don Lemon knows what it’s like to be gay and black and to be judged based specifically on that not who he is as a person. So for him of all people to judge this situation based on information he got from the media and only from what he got from the media is something that he should really know better than to do. When you are in the media for your work and your life is made microscopically bigger because of a tragedy and that tragedy being the loss of a young life and that young life being your son primarily I’m sure Adrian Peterson wants to deal with that the best way he knows how and not have to deal with people like you who sit back and judge based on what you may or may not have found out from the media. So please keep your statistics and opinions to yourself because this week Adrian Peterson had a son to bury, a funeral to go to. So I am not going to dignify your no nonsense opinion with a response. The reason why is because to be honest that is not the point of any of this the point is to quit making judgments and assumptions about others just like others make judgments and assumptions about you and they don’t even know you and just run your own life and stay out of others’ lives. So it appears to me that Don Lemon is more about stating his opinions on things that he knows nothing about rather than being in the know and speaking from a place of truth but what is more important is that no one asked his opinion anyway.
