Almost sounds like an oxymoron, huh? You're sworn in to serve the public but is charged with abusing your kids. Former Hillsborough County Commissioner, Brian Blair was released from Orient Road Jail today, a day after allegations that he beat up his two sons.
Brian Blair and wife of 22 years Toni, have two sons, Brett(17) and Bradley (13).
According to police, the fracas occurred around 4 am Sunday. Blair, a former pro wrestling with the World Wrestling Federation, is accused of shoving his elder son, and holding the younger son in a choke hold. However the report indicates that none of the kids were seriously injured.
This is as complex a case as I've seen because there appears to be so many dynamics. For starters he is the father of two teens. This job is perhaps more difficult that his publicly held position. I happen to deal with teenagers on a daily basis in my line of work and I can vouch for the fact some of them can be self absorbed, have challenging personalities and are "no it alls". I am not going to delve into this issue too much,nor am I going to vilify the former commissioner without all the details.
One question that I would ask though, is why were those teenagers up at 4 am in the morning?? Shouldn't have they been asleep. And why would any child infuriate their parents knowing that they were former wrestlers?? Hmmm makes me wonder.... Will post updates as more details are released.
