BRISTOL, Tenn. – A man who police say was run over with a lawn mower while trying to kill his son with a chain saw has had to have his leg amputated. The Bristol Herald Courier reports that a warrant for 76-year-old Douglas Ferguson couldn’t be served until Tuesday because of the severity of his injuries. According to a Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office release, officers called to a home June 28 found Ferguson bleeding from his leg and head. A preliminary investigation indicated he had tried to attack his son with a running chain saw while he son mowed the yard. Detectives say the father and son had an ongoing feud. Ferguson is charged with attempted second-degree murder and violating probation. It’s unclear whether he has a lawyer to comment on his behalf. TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT 2018 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

I am a survivor of both child abuse and torture. I have also been sexually assaulted in my adult life more than once. I guess the shaming begins now.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 6, 2018:

Never ever shaming. You are a survivor and to be admired for coming through. I would never shame anyone for something outside their control. When I was a child I was abused. As children do I blamed myself. When I had my own daughter and she reached the age that I was when I was abused, I realized that little girl that I was had no idea what was really happening, and no control over what happened. The adults in her life failed her. That liberated me. I was able to forgive myself, and it was the healing that I needed. Please take this to heart, you were and are a victim, and a survivor. You have my total support and total acceptance.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 3, 2018:

@jondspen You came out swinging with a personal attack, and continuing to demean the point of view as SJW. The fear that dad will kill the SOB might be a reason that girls don't tell. They don't want daddy to go to prison. How many men do you know freak out when a woman talks about her period or sanitary products. If men can't deal with that, how would they deal with a rape. I've known men who get squeamish at the idea of menstruation, I've also known men that will go out and buy supplies when they are needed. And yes, lots of men put their little girls on pedestals, and girls don't want to blot daddy's opinion of them. It is a very complex issue. That I think we can agree on. However, I think we've beat this horse to death. There are legions of women who agreed with this article, there are legions of women who've been raped or abused and never reported it to authorities. I don't want to rehash the argument, it won't ever bring us to agreement or understanding of pov. I bid you peace.

@jondspen How can you have proof of an intangible? I didn't talk about it, many women don't. It is a personal violation of the worst sort, and children often don't have the language skills to deal with it and the offenders aren't likely to own up to it Numbers are hard to come by when victims won't talk about it but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's not like there are pictures or hard evidence, it is truly a hidden crime. I have read statistics about how many rape kits are waiting to be run. Not a priority for the police. Why do you call it propaganda? I don't see this as a SJW issue. I see this as a human rights issue. Do you think it is offensive to me and the others in this discussion to dismiss our concerns as SJW issues? You're dishing out offense far more quickly as you are receiving it.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 2, 2018:

@jondspen you are carrying a hell of a lot of anger. I understand why and I am sorry for your pain. The article, like most articles are written towards the majority. Your story is not the majority. I did not read it as attacking fathers. It was explaining why men/fathers are generally not aware of what happens to their children. I never told my parents what happened to me underneath their own roof. To this day I don't know why they didn't know or if they did know why it was allowed to happen. I don't think I assumed anything, you have no idea what kind of experience anyone else has had with any system. I've seen many good dads lose custody for the reasons you've mentioned. It is f'd up. I think the article is written addressing men because men have been in the primary positions of power and authority for generations. The question was raised as to why women don't come forward, and trying to explain why. I know why, I live why, many many women live why. Because we are trained from birth to be "good girls." Good girls don't kick up a fuss because when we do we aren't believed or are treated with scorn or punished for telling the truth.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 2, 2018:

I would not have ever told my dad that I was raped. My dad told me when I was about 13 that there was no such thing as rape because a woman can run faster with her skirts up than a man can with his pants down. My dad would have assumed it was my fault for not getting away or for being too friendly, or anything his little mind could come up with. So you have "experience with the system" and you assume more than anyone else. How superior of you. You obviously don't get it, you are discounting what women tell you, because you have not experienced the same thing, therefore it must not be happening. We are telling you it is happening, PLEASE fucking LISTEN! Yes, boys are molested, especially in the catholic church, but for women and girls it happens far more often. And often mom isn't told either. I could go on and explain further, but you don't seem to be open to learning. However, if you are not part of the solution, you are very likely part of the problem. Your choice.

MarvelAnn comments on Oct 2, 2018:

Unless it just doesnt feel right. I recently met someone here and had a nice few months hanging out, but every day I felt like I was settling. I feel terrible. He was literally everything I always wanted my ex to be and enjoyed so many of the same things, but the passion wasn't there. He seriously ...

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 2, 2018:

Not a good thing that he is jealous of your kids. I look at it that those kids came out of my body, they are my very blood. I've known them far longer than you, and when push comes to shove they will be there for me forever. You either love my kids are your own, or take a walk.

Do we really want a man consumed with rage, self-pity and hate on the Supreme Court?

ashley44 comments on Oct 1, 2018:

No. I think his rage, belligerence, etc., shows that this man is unfit to sit on the highest court in the land. I think if he had any integrity, he would withdraw his name from nomination. He has been tainted by his own unhinged performance last week. If a woman had behaved as he did, she would ...

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 1, 2018:

@ArdentAtheist My scale isn't moving as fast as I hoped. However, I am not noticing any bad effects. I walk most days, and have not noticed a lack of energy or stamina. I drink lots of water (which I do anyway) and I have some tea that is supposed to be for fasting support. I take my usual meds, have not noticed any problems with the med/empty stomach. I did notice some dizzyness, so I decreased my BP med. I haven't told my doc about that yet, I supposed I should do that soon.... I had my BP taken at my ophthalmologist office two days ago and my BP was almost perfect. Just a quick google search of IF and migraines I'm reading that it has helped migraines. So YMMV.

@ArdentAtheist I am doing intermittent fasting once or twice a week, usually for 24 hours. In theory it will help to increase insulin sensitivity, and help me lose weight. There are some other health benefits as well.

In the early 80s I never thought twice about walking anywhere in Germany alone. However, in the USA, on military bases or civilian community I was not comfortable walking alone after dark. Currently where I live now I will walk in my neighborhood alone during daylight. I don't walk any distance alone after dark anywhere.

I re-read this, and most of the comments quite a few times, and had changed what my comment was going to be about 100 times. So I've prepared myself for all the hate responses that I'll probably get. First off, I by no means at all am trying to belittle any of the horrible ways a lot of women ...

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 28, 2018:

The only prison movie I've ever watched is Shawshank Redemption, and yes assault happened in that movie. I am not about to hate on you, I agree with what you're saying. Yes, men can be victimized by women, and men are usually reluctant to go to the authorities because of the scorn they will endure. And men do horrible things to other men, or anyone they perceive as being weaker than they are. As a people we really haven't evolved much.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 28, 2018:

I think it is overrated. I drink coffee only for the caffeine. I know, I'm a heretic. If I add enough cream and sweetener, maybe chocolate I can drink it down. By my calculations you have less than 728 days until you turn 40, unless your age is wrong. You're 39 now, and 365 days in a year. 728 is more like two years. I'm doing some days counting as well.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 28, 2018:

A rapist is not going to respect boundaries. Rape is about domination and power. Some men feel entitled to take what they want, they do not see women as autonomous beings. If boundary setting worked for you in your marriage, good. That is separate from what this article is about which is violence/rape aimed at women because we are women.
