He needs to stay in jail.

“He understood that doing that was going to cause harm to the individual, he knew that by throwing him over he knew the individual was going to be hurt, he shouldn’t have done it, and he admitted to picking this kid up and pushing him over,” Francis says.

Third degree assault? Wtf? He threw a child three F***ing stories! How about attempted F***ing murder?!? This piece of trash needs to rot in a hole for the rest of his F***ing life.

Agreed.

He clearly is a danger to the public. He needs to be locked up for everyone's safety.

The charge of 3rd degree assault is laughable.

And frankly it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any if he was the victim of a similarly “minor” assault in prison. I literally saw red when I first read the details of this. That poor little boy. I also feel like the parents should be charged with negligence for letting this monster out in public.

How awful. Poor child.

How is this only 3rd degree assault?

That poor kid could have landed on his head.

Horrible. I hope the kid recovers.

His poor body sounds terribly broken. I wonder if he'll have lasting issues. But you're right. He could have died!

He needs the maximum sentence for such a light charge. It's not enough.
