What would you do if you were Marie Rottenburg?


If you were her and he did that to your child, what would you do?

I have a 9 year-old baby brother so I'll use him as an example. If someone sick did that to him, I would be on the newspaper the next day for murder or shoot him with a gun in court.

How sad... no way I would harm a child like this and yet his own father did that. I hope he is still in jail for all his other crimes.

reply

I'm right there with you. I wouldn't even shoot him. Too quick! I'd probably kidnap the bastard and take him to some god-forgotten place where I can tear his body to pieces with a pair of pliers indisturbed. Starting with the toes. And I wouldn't even turn myself in, after! I don't see why I should go to jail for freeing the world of such an abomination, a monster like that. I'd feel like I should be rewarded with some medal or something.

Neither one of you would do sh!t.

I would do it to you too just for sounding like a chicken. That's a fact.

reply

And I'll tell you to your face the same thing: "You wouldn't do sh!t". Funny how the world is full of tough guys all saying "I'd do this and I'd do that" but all the criminals and scum in this world keep on breathing. Nobody ever does sh!t, but hey I guess talking smack on imdb is almost as good right?

The offer is still on, pal.

So, you're obviously a chicken who wouldn't do sh!t if they burn his son alive and the piece of sh!t who does it gets only 5 years. Cool. Of course, smartass, admitting that you're a chicken doesn't make the fact that you are one less painful. I feel sorry for you, I really do. How old are you, 15?
Anyway, I feel compelled to repeat that, yes, I would definitely do what I said if someone does that to my son. And I made people suffer physically for much less, like.
It's a *beep* thing that you feel that a total stranger has to prove something to you (cause who da hell are you anyway). However, I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and whenever you want your ass whooped just feel free to look for me. We'll see if you keep saying that I wouldn't do sh!t while I kick the living crap out of you. Then I guess, talking smack on imdb is easier for you, right? :)

reply

Alright tough guy, tell us all about the child abusers and murderers you beat the "living crap" out of in the past. A long list I'm sure.

reply

I never met a child abuser, nor a murderer. I beat the living crap out of people for much les than abusing children, like for being drunk and harassing. My invitation's still on.

I never met a child abuser

Why haven't you went and found one? Here you go buddy:

All you have to do is type in your address and you'll find a bunch near you. Yeah I just KNOW you're going to really "clean up the streets". Thank god for people like you. Or are you all talk like I said originally?

reply

Thanks for sharing the link, I'll look into it. And yes, you should definitely thank god for people like me, who aren't afraid of cleaning up the streets and bars from idiots, no matter if they have to spend the night in jail. But then again, what would you know about that? You're all talk, like you originally said.

reply

LOL! You are so full of sh!t dude. If you weren't all talk you'd know that "cleaning up the streets and bars from idiots" would result in more than the night in jail. Yeah I bet you're going to look into it. Show us some PROOF tough guy.

IMBD Fail #2: "I didn't see this movie but..."

reply

Maybe where you're from. Whenever I kicked some stupid ass all over the bar's floor, I've always had plenty of witnesses telling the police that the other guy started it. You're really a stupid ignorant imbecile dude, and I'm so tired of this conversation you couldn't possibly imagine it, so if you let some other crap roll out of your mouth do not expect me to reply. So, whenever you want proof, come visit me for a good ass kicking. I won't need a reason in your case, it'll be just pleasure. See ya whenever you feel like it. And, assuming you're not impotent, which you certainly are considering how frustrated you sound every time you open your sewer, in case you pull out too late and you put a turd with your face on this planet, let me know: I'll burn him alive and see what you do about it. You probably won't lift a finger, you *beep* Stay in the henhouse where you belong, chicken, you could get hurt if you do.

reply

Pussy going to run off. Hey give me your email address, I want to send you something. If you're man enough....

IMBD Fail #2: "I didn't see this movie but..."

reply

Wahahah.... are you serious? Bye, dickless chicken, it's been a pleasure! thanks for the good laughs! :)

reply

Big tough guy who likes to beat people up won't even give me his email address.

It would be VERY hard to restrain myself, but no, I wouldn't break the law and go to prison and suffer for a p.o.s. like Rothenberg's father. IF I was the mother of a child who was disfigured, disabled, and desperately needed help, what further harm would I be doing to the child by getting myself sent to prison??


A child like that would need a loving parent to take care of him!


The people on this thread who were fighting & threatening each other (quite ridiculously, might I add) regarding this hypothetical situation are not thinking of this aspect of what would happen to the child if they were removed from the child's life by way of imprisonment.

You can act "big and bad" but in the end, you as the sole remaining parent, would be imprisoned for assault/murder and the poor child would be left without you.

Where would that leave the child? To be raised in foster care, which is rife with corrupt, abusive people? People's anger understandably rises up when they hear of horrific cases like this but to restrain oneself and think of the consequences of one's actions, unlike David's pathetic excuse for a father, is what SEPARATES the normal people from the out-of-control criminals of society.

I'm pretty sure the only time Marie Rothenberg ever saw John again was in court. Are you people telling me you'd go attack someone in a court of law?

reply

Actually Marie Rothenburg's ex husband's name is Charles not John. I think the original poster is talking about being outside of the court of law. That being said If I were Marie, I would be in a world of trouble after making sure that the dilweed I'm was once married to goes MIA.

reply

my apologies I wrote John because of the actor who played him.

reply

As David's mother, With the help of a mob of strong men, I would have them tie or handcuff Charles to a pole, poor karosene on him, set him on fire with a match.Trap him inside a house while handcuffed, and watch him burn alive.

Just like what he did to his son :)
