  • CoreyHalliwell, on 06/07/2009, -6/+735Okay what the *****. I'm sitting here looking at the front page and i see this as a side item. I was on the phone to a friend making plans and i literally stopped mid sentence for a second to see if i read it right. What the *****? Where in your life do you go, "I'm gonna give my baby aids"? Probably somewhere between "I'm going to put my baby in the microwave" http://kidkameleon.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/mother ... and "I'm gonna stuff my kid in the freezer" http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/world/mother ...

    what the ***** is wrong with some parents? seriously, what the *****?

    "To distance himself from his father — and to protect his identity growing up — Brryan changed his name from "Brian." He has not been in contact with Stewart but said he has forgiven him. "

    No offense, but that name change probably wasn't his most stealthy move.

  • masterc, on 06/07/2009, -5/+354"In many ways, Brryan is a typical teen. He became a cheerleader."

    I wouldn't call that typical.
  • TobiasParker, on 06/07/2009, -17/+324How am I the only person who thinks it should require a license to have children.
  • dsoldier, on 06/07/2009, -0/+266"Judge Ellsworth Cundiff said he was in the same category as "the worst war criminal" and added, "I believe when God finally calls you, you are going to burn in hell from here to eternity.""

    Are judges allowed to say such things? Regardless, thats some bad ass ***** for a judge to say.
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -2/+186He injected his baby with AIDS to avoid paying child support? And the incubation time between HIV+ and AIDS and death is.....
  • DamnMan, on 06/07/2009, -0/+15418 years and counting in this case.
  • darthjure, on 06/07/2009, -1/+154The trial was in 1998 and the father "received the maximum sentence, life in prison". He's eligible for parole in 2 years; 2011. How is 13 years equivalent to life in prison??
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -1/+142You don't need a college degree to become a criminal
  • TrunksTheMighty, on 06/07/2009, -12/+151Absolutely disgusting. I hope he has a special place in hell.
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -8/+103how about LMAONAIDS?
  • janinekahn, on 06/07/2009, -4/+97Life in prison isn't punishment enough for his sick father.
  • bizchris, on 06/07/2009, -1/+89Okay now you're just making stuff up.
  • TobiasParker, on 06/07/2009, -7/+90It is because then you travel down the road to Eugenics, which the my heart says is evil but my mind...
  • kevinmoore, on 06/13/2009, -4/+83I don't believe in hell, but I wish it existed for people like this.
  • rivalius13, on 06/07/2009, -0/+76So...wait...he threatened to use tainted blood in an attack, people knew he made those threats, and he was still allowed keep his job? WTF?
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -8/+83The human race is ***** doomed. These are the people breeding.
  • PhrosTT, on 06/07/2009, -9/+80it's ***** like this that makes you really want to believe there is a heaven, and more importantly a hell.
  • trevorh, on 06/07/2009, -1/+65Right next to the child molesters and people who talk during movies.
  • BewareTheLamps, on 06/07/2009, -4/+68thats a dick move
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -0/+63how many crazy drivers cause accidents, with their licenses tucked safely away in their wallet?
  • Kyrgizion, on 06/07/2009, -6/+69You aren't. I've uttered those words on more than one occasion.
  • bagelmaster, on 06/07/2009, -2/+60I only ever knew one male cheerleader in real life. Not the straightest arrow in the quiver, if you know what I mean.
  • TeraYotta, on 06/07/2009, -3/+52I admire him for his courage to live with AIDS and the fact that he can forgive his sperm donor. I don't think I could ever do it.
  • lisaawesome, on 06/07/2009, -0/+48Maybe he's just cold.
  • fredrockbluff, on 06/07/2009, -0/+47we can build it... stronger, better, faster.
  • Boogalou007, on 06/07/2009, -9/+55Forget lethal injection, we need a new method. Slow bleed out due to castration by dull, rusted butter knife?
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -3/+49Whoa whoa whoa - "Brryan?" Am I the only one seeing that double 'r'?
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -8/+54Agreed.
    We need a license to drive.
    but not to ***** give birth to another human being?!!?
    it's our 'right' to procreate apparently.

  • KillCure, on 06/07/2009, -0/+45Nice choice of words. "Sperm donor"

    You're right, he's not a father.
  • KingGorilla, on 06/07/2009, -0/+44When life gives you lemons, have a party
  • netdroid9, on 06/07/2009, -1/+44Dugg because I did a mental spit-take too.
  • haiduz, on 06/07/2009, -0/+43Because he was given life in prison with eligibility for parole. In 13 years his sentense does not expire and it never will expire and I have a feeling that the parole board is not going to be so kind as to release this utter waste of human flesh back into society.
  • Ymeg, on 06/07/2009, -3/+41Considering stories like this, it might make some believe that the concept of cruel and unusual punishment is sweeping. Life in prison is too good for him.
  • inactive, on 06/07/2009, -1/+37Hopefully he received plenty of 'injections' while in prison.
  • 1longtime, on 06/07/2009, -0/+32*WOW* or *VOMIT*

    That's amazing or awful, and I applaud or revile you.

    Keep up the good work or ***** off and die.
  • beerhound, on 06/07/2009, -4/+36I look at fathers like this one and wonder how society will survive, but I have to vote against the idea of a license to reproduce. Think about it, can you imagine how that would have been used against certain groups in the past? African Americans? Native Americans? Jews? The "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia and Herzegovina? It would be more subtle than those examples, but sooner or later the power to deny a license would be abused. Probably not even maliciously in all cases, there would be some lazy bureaucrat who would deny them just because he was behind in his paperwork and it's faster to deny the thing than fill out the forms. Others would look for the tiniest excuse to deny them just to keep a minority weaker in numbers to protect his majority. Way to much of the nanny state in this idea for me.
  • sdone, on 06/07/2009, -0/+31The article did say he almost died several times as a child. I believe AIDs in an infant, especially when it comes out of nowhere, would actually be decently effective at killing it.
  • 1longtime, on 06/07/2009, -3/+34Get the terms straight, everyone:

    The virus (HIV) develops into Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The syndrome kills. The victim is still alive because the virus has been controlled and not developed into full blown AIDS.

    Yes, it's an incredibly stupid way to kill your own child to avoid making child support payments because a) HIV can be controlled through medication and b) the medication is insanely expensive. Besides being human sludge, it boggles the mind how stupid this person must be. Daddy just multiplied his expenses by, um, alot.

    @MSUKate: The injection occured when the baby was 11 months old. If he was exposed even 5 years prior, then he would have been -4 years old.
  • mitchellpearson, on 06/07/2009, -0/+30What's worst is that he's eligible for parole in 2 years time.. I will never understand how a judge can rule life imprisonment and then they could possibly be out of jail 20 years later.
  • TobiasParker, on 06/07/2009, -1/+31The problem would be influential people could buy licenses regardless of their Genetics.
  • beerhound, on 06/07/2009, -1/+30Ass raped by an inmate with AIDS?
  • blast_flame, on 06/07/2009, -2/+31Yeah the problem is the government would be giving them out so he probably would have gotten one while a slightly eccentric but great person would not...
  • LuckyEMS, on 06/07/2009, -13/+42We are not just sure, we are HIV Positive
  • Mercedes383, on 06/07/2009, -1/+30Actually life in prison would be an apt punishment. Do you have any idea what sort of treatment the other inmates would dish out to him once they found out what he did?
  • Slimfady, on 06/07/2009, -3/+29The dad should be injected with HIV and Hep B as a punishment.
    That's absolutely sick and disgusting.
  • Tarnum, on 06/07/2009, -5/+29...make KoolAIDs.
  • Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 06/07/2009, -2/+26I was a cheerleader in high school because I was straight. :P
  • Rudegar, on 06/07/2009, -7/+28Who's that riding across the plain?
    Who's lost count of the kids he's slain?
    Who's the man who's plumb insane?
    Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad
  • byoung2, on 06/07/2009, -2/+23I hope his dad is getting his own nightly injections of aids from his cellmate...with a nine inch "needle"
