- Randall Margraves addresses a swarm of media with his daughters standing behind him (from left, Lauren, Madison, Morgan and wife Sharri) about his actions of rushing toward Larry Nassar during the second day of his sentencing in Eaton County at Grewal Law office in Okemos, Mich. on Friday, Feb. 2, 2018. After apologizing to Judge Janice Cunningham she did released him from contempt of court. (Joel Bissell | MLive.com)
"I have to live with the fact I didn't defend my daughters."
Please, Sir, don't ever blame yourself. This is not your fault. You are a hero.
That's just what you say when you speak to the public.
I feel terribly sorry for him and his daughters.
But I wonder, just how good was Nassar at deception for a parent to not realise that something fishy was going on? It’s like they put way too much trust into strangers to handle their kids. Regardless, I hope he forgives himself.
Liam Tubsy
He often shielded with his body so the parents couldn’t see what was going on. Many of them were in the room when this happened. He had been doing this for decades so he perfected his grooming techniques where he was considered above suspicion.
I get what you’re saying and I kind of don’t understand mentally how it is possible... but the blame lies with Larry not the parents. Any decent parent that knew wouldn’t have allowed it to go on on their watch you know? In a way I don’t get it, but I do.
I hope he forgives himself too.
@@MalloryNewcomb He sometimes used a blanket to hide what his fingers were doing.
Despicable man!
@@liamtubsy3767 I really wonder about the whole culture of pushing these children into an obsessive search for athletic perfection, irrespective of the damage it does to their young minds and bodies. I can appreciate that that level of athleticism must bring some degree of fulfilment, but how much of a child's life is sacrificed to attain a goal which logically, very few will achieve? It is in this atmosphere that predators can hide.
If I ever had the privilege of meeting this guy, I’d shake his hand & buy him a drink.
hopefully its a club soda. don't think he really needs alcohol in him
DJM he does not drink he is a boring Religious nut case and loves Billy Graham
he is just as nasty as that man
and hell does not exist Except on earth
Timothy Wait I don’t give a shit if he’s a christian or he likes Billy Graham (whoever that is) he tried to give Nasser a taste of what he deserves, its just a shame he was stopped
He had to apologize to be able to have any charges removed away from him. My respects to you my Sir. More fathers like you please.
This father shouldn’t have to apologize for anything.........He shouldn’t be shamed for trying to destroy a MONSTER‼️‼️‼️‼️
Aimee Lott Amen.
Lockjaw well we know you’re not because you must have missed the day when you learned you have to apply an emotional aspect to law.
AJ N No, you are wrong. The law deals with FACTS. It has no place for emotions or feelings. The father was in the wrong for attempting an assault in a COURTROOM. Nassar is already in custody, already handcuffed, already going to spend the rest of his life in jail. Assaulting him in prison will prove what exactly?
Watch this clip from a scene from the Netflix series Daredevil. I know it’s a tv show, but the blind man’s explanation of the essence of the courtroom is true and wise:

Anthony Domingo how about we reference actual legal texts? Please do some digging before coming back. Thanks.
AJ N Hey dumbass, I don’t need legal texts. Emotions and feelings have no place in a court. Only facts. Check your feelings at the door when you enter a courtroom. Any judge or attorney will tell you that.
But you are too fucking dumb to accept that, huh? So, come back when you have an argument.
Never apologize! You sir, are my hero! Fathers should always protect their daughters and sons!!
he had to or our messed up court system would have put him in jail
Jules Ann he was just sorry for doing it on court.but not that sorry for what he felt and done just wishing they were not at court that time so he can pounch him kick him as much as he want.
@*HaPpy LiFe* yeah that's not what a hero is...
Why are you saying protect when you mean avenge. That's just causing confusion when people say protect. And making yourself sound foolish.
“Now I have to wonder if my daughters can ever trust another man....”.
Nah, pop. You showed them that they could. They’ll just have to choose wisely.
🙏
They didn't choose Larry Nasser though, they were victims from beginning to end.
well said
How are you saying this statement from a man’s point of view . WTF Are you a victim to a man’s abuse .
Im surprised he was the only one who lunged at Larry Nassar, so close, he gave Larry a preview of whats to come.
That was nothing compared to how Van Terry lunged at his daughter's killer Michael Madison. A couple of brothers were arrested for attacking their mother's killer in court. That was the most impressive attack I have seen on youtube.
I'd be in jail now for what I'd do to him if he did those things to my daughters.
Hel be protected in prison. Thats what our system does. They protect the sickest ones
And then some!!
He was attacked "within hours after being released into the general population at the United States Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona". It's known that many inmates incl. even serial killers can't tolerate child predators.
Don't apologize
You've done what any other loving father would have done
well, the other 149 didn't. maybe they don't love their daughters as much!
@@davidgm1000ou know some of them have either died or the victims are both siblings so it’s probably less than that. And that’s just sad; for the death part.
Civil people have manners and these people show this even if this was morally right thing to do. This family are all role models.
Give that man a medal......and a minute!!
And applause!!
😂😂I say 5 minutes!!
KEKWWWWW AMEN
God bless this family. And Mr. Margraves, you acted as any of us would. We are behind you. We support you.
His daughters AND himself are heroes
Stand up for your daughters. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your feelings. I'm proud there are still men who feel so strongly.
is a shame that men like him are being lumped in with the whole "toxic masculinity" bullshit
@@jamesdick2580 men like him is what they mean when they say that
I'd happily cover his entire tab if I were sitting down in the same restaurant.
Very well spoken. My favorite part was when he basically told the reporters to listen because this would be the first and last time he was going to speak about the court incident. I know that's right!
America stands with you sir.
World stands with him.
The whole world not just us
I absolutely love the father of these three girls. Great man. Wonderful father.
He said he failed to protect his daughters...No! No! No! You may feel that way.. But...No! Just No!
If he needs anything let's help him.
ShadowHumor all he needs to do is name it. I would gladly do whatever I could for any of these families
Hopefully, word is sent to whatever prison he's going to so they can a gather together a welcoming party for him.
Mavic: The courts did its due diligence and demoted this decorated doctor to the demise and disgrace for his deleteriousness. He could be allowed to encourage other fathers or victims in displaying violence in the court room. We need to quell situations wherever and whenever they may occur -- not to justify acts as this, otherwise, the courtroom and places of justice would be overwhelmed with acts of "righteous indignation." In this case, justice was served. He should be thanking the courts for their industriousness -- not showing dissatifaction and ungratefulness.
PokariSweater he's not a dumbass, he's a vigilante. He believes that this guy had every right to attempt to murder Larry Nasser, and you know who else believes that as well? The Judge. In American law the judge has the final say, and since the father didn't bring a weapon in his hand, or actually say that he was going to literally murder Larry Nasser the judge can then decide if the father had murder in his heart since their was no clear evidence of murderous intent, unless of course the judge wants to start a separate trial for the father. Instead, she decided to hold him in contempt for a courtroom disturbance and then waive the contempt in exchange for the father's apology. Do you see how the law works now, you ignorant, pedophile enabling, pseudo intellectual internet troll?
Me Too Is A Joke except they didn't get "fingered" by a "Pervy old doctor", they were molested by a pedophile, and trust me, nobody had to tell them how to feel traumatized, life did that on it's own. This isn't a phony feminist issue, maybe you're looking for the red pill or some other feminist bashing channel. Totally different subject, dude. And if you're being sarcastic, it's a pretty terrible and sadistic attempt at humor.
My sister was sexually assaulted 7 years ago. I have seen the pain it has caused her and my father over the years. Mr. Margrave's statement sounded just like a statement my dad gave last year after my sister shared her experience at a Take Back the Night event. I can only imagine that he and my sister are seeing these same news stories and being affected in similar ways as Mr. Margraves and his three wonderful daughters today.
I can't condone what Mr. Margraves did yesterday, but I 100% understand and sympathize. I know I've dreamt of bashing in the head of the monster who hurt my sister. I know my dad has done the same. Even though we know it would have only made things worse for us all. I know that what he did was out of pure love for his daughters and that most any parent would react the same way in his situation.
I wish the best for his family. It won't ever be the same, but there can be a new normal. He can strengthen his bonds with them. And they will have the support they need to heal and grow and live again. He's right that they are the heroes. They and that monster's other victims have endured more than most of us can fathom. They are strong people for surviving. I wish them all the best. And I wish for a future where we see less and less news stories like this because the monsters are found and plunged into the darkest and most isolated prisons possible.
God bless you. I hope your sister is healing ❤
I agree with you. I don't condone what that father did, but I do understand it, and I don't judge or condemn him for it. It seems many people have gone to one of two extremes; those who said that what the father did was right, and those who judge him for it and say he should be punished for it. I disagree with both of those extremes. In my opinion, the father shouldn't have tried to attack Nassar, but he shouldn't be condemned or punished for it either. Sometimes extraordinary circumstances can push people to do things that they shouldn't, and would normally never, do. The officers who tackled him did the right thing; they stopped him from doing what he was intending to do, while at the same time showing him empathy and understanding.
@@brettschmidt5929I can agree that because he didn't succeed in hurting Nassar, that there's no point prosecuting him. It was just an attempt. I'm so relived you're not one of those pyschopaths who are in favor or torturing monsters.
You are a hero! You don't need to apologize! If you are reading this sir! You are a great dad, and I hope there are more dads in the world like you!
No apologies needed. It's nice to see a father whom loves and wants to protect his daughters. 💜💚
Apology NOT Required !!! Many fathers would have lost it also .. being normal requires no apology.
I don't fight, unable to due to many surgeries over the years. But I love cussing people out and it would have been a shouting match with many cuss words.
Milepost 484 would’ve loved to have seen that sir
SO well spoken - what a FATHER! May God Bless you and your family!
One lesson to learn: TELL MOM AND DAD. I know it is hard. I was an adult before I told the parents about my incident. Please, tell a trusted adult ASAP.
I love this guy. A true father and man.
I second that emotion!!
@@deavespi5063 Decent song, that is.
Those three sisters have a sensational father in their corner.
I can tell that you're a loving father and amazing man. God bless you and your family!
3 beautiful daughters and a father who stands up for them. Totaly understandable
Nothing to feel guilty about.
Wish you all the best and inner peace again! 🙏😘
You mean 3 false accusers?
@@femsareevil4410 Lmao, careful not to drop that fragile masculinity of yours. It would break in a thousand pieces :')
@@femsareevil4410Seriously, dude? God have mercy on you fr....
You did not fail! Total respect to you.Wish you and your family the best.
God, this story is so heartbreaking.... I feel for all the victims and their family.
Someone get this man a Cape.
Mr. Margraves you don't need to apologize for anything or explain your actions to anyone. You are a hero and did what any father would have done in that situation. Shame on the judge who asked you to apologize in court.
Well said sir,up most respect for you and your family
If i was the guards I'd let the father get one punch in. I'll just make an excuse that i wasn't paying attention.
Julian Aherrera Lol Same
Yea, I was a bit disappointed that both guards didn’t accidentally trip to buy him a few seconds
That is definitely worth getting one write-up in.
NAH, can't have vigilante justice.
Julian Aherrera, I said almost the exact same thing on the video of him going after Nassar. So I totally agree!
1:23 Wrong, he’s the Father of the year and herewith a hero
So nicely put!!
You don't have to be embarrassed! He should! You were protecting your daughters and react bc you love your family.
I'm so glad the judge was lenient on him and didn't charge him for contempt of court or something like that
He just did what any father would do. Respect for this man.
I don't accept the father's apologies because he did nothing wrong to me.
He was forced to apologize or face charges for aggravated assault. He should've never been forced to apologize.
The judge would have dropped those charges knowing the situation. If not an attorney easily could have.
She did drop all charges the same day after he did that...hows it aggravated assault when he didn't even get to him?
He was right to apologize.
It's all politics and optics. It was politically correct for him to apologize.
A forced apology is not ready an apology
He didn't lose control, he took control! I see his reaction as very normal! I can't even imagine the anger & pain this father feels! So sorry to all of these young women and their families!
Great Father! ♥️🙏🏻

#FatherOf TheYear 🏆🏅🎖
Only a troll would post as have you, Pokarischmuck. I am all for proper behavior in a courtroom and adherence to the law, but only a dedicated and loving father would be so moved to action. And if you are not just trolling--which is hard to believe, then from what I see you do not appreciate much.
This is a great father czcams.com/video/rS1rFr9KOAc/video.html
+Shelby I understand why he acted that way but hes just a wannabe tough guy. Asking the judge for 5 Minutes with a defendant is just TV theatrics. He Knew they would never allow it.
Great Father! that sent his daughters to a molester and didn't teach them inappropriate touching and only now coming forward now they are washed up Olympians..smdmfh
I was 28 years old with 5 kids and I was in a tattoo shop when I was assaulted and my dad probably still thinks he somehow failed me. Trial is coming up and I refuse to allow my dad to be there at all because I know he won't even TRY to control himself. This man is amazing and I'm happy he didn't get into any trouble.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you're doing better now
I hope you got the outcome that you deserve.
You are 28 with 5 kids, don't you think you were asking for it with this kind of promiscuity? Close it up!
@@Focused-ni9qh lol you're grandmother would be proud of you.
@@StephanieAnn89 exactly... Women today are nothing like their grandmothers ... The behavior is abhorrent
God bless this family. Randall did no wrong in my eyes.
What kind of father would NOT have done anything any differently? You, Sir, are a daughters hero!
If I had the resources, I'd help families like this. They could be present when revenge was delt or not present. These sick SoBs, especially child molesters who go free would face the Hammer of Justice.
What kind of help do they need ? Looks like a working dad , mom and 3 healthy kids.
Mr. Positive :) - Help arrange that 5 minutes alone with the filthy animal.
What a wonderful father who takes his job as a parent seriously. Hats off to you, sir! Bravo!
No doubt the unconditional love you show your daughters will help in their healing. ❤
I WOULDVE DONE THE SAME FUCKIN THING
Morpheus Factual I would've joined in with you. If only the cops could've moved over to the side for a couple seconds atleast 1 good punch would've been nice to see.
No need to apologize
The only thing he should apologize for is not landing at least one shot on the guy.
After watching the video, I felt the pain that was in the fathers eyes..NEVER question a father's love for his kids (esp daughters)
Not necessarily, my father was very abusive did the same sh*t whilst my mother loved me.
Those poor girls look like they have lost there souls, god bless them and protect them forever more..............
Hearts can broken but the soul is not. Not the soul of the innocent anyway
Why feel embarrsed? You were protecting your Daughter's.
How is it protection when the guy is already on trial? It's just violence and revenge.
@@juhalankinen6272 stfu
They lied to him
What an amazing dad
"I fell for the Michigan State hype the fancy degrees hanging on an office wall. And I deiivered, unintentionally, my three daughters to a demon who had his own sick and twisted agenda" These girls must feel love for their Dad he stood up for them and spoke as a brave man
I felt terrible for him when he said that. It wasn’t his fault in any way. He had absolutely no way of knowing that would happen.
@@kevinamundsen6983 I AGREE
Those poor girls look so shattered. It's heartbreaking.
You are my hero mr randal margraves
You are a hero my man! They should give this many a medal of valor, the keys to the city, a day dedicated to him, a street named after him...and that one minute.
So sad how one person can hurt and ruin so many families
One Monster.
I wish more fathers had the kind of balls you do. I salute you sir.
All the victims need to SUE all of the relevant authorities who employed mr Nassar I would strongly advise them all to SUE THEM TO THE GILLS for millions of dollars , there is a strong case for liability in this instance somebody has failed here big time
The voice of an American Hero! I bow my head to you, Sir...
You are a good father Sir, be patient with your daughters, just listen when they want to speak about anything, and they difinitely need some counseling with a person they feel comfortable with speaking to. They can get victory or how this situation has change how they feel about themselves and life, they are strong young women and can over come the pain. I did, I spoke up, and was ignored, but I had an outlet. God is able. I'm proud of them. I will be praying for them, and you Sir.
Blessing to you all
God bless you Verleana! Keep speaking up. I can see the healing that has taken place through the words you speak. God is good!
I reject his apology, he is an amazing Dad and did what any dad would do in his position. Randall you are a hero for sticking up for your girls!
What an amazing human being and father
Honestly, this man should not have to apologize for a THING. The justice system is so damaged and corrupt and this man is a father of three girls who were sexually molested by a man who was just feet away. He has a great heart and true emotions. This is so heartbreaking and I cannot IMAGINE what this father feels. Prayers to the girls and father and mother❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He lost control, he obviously wanted to apologize.
We will not accept the apology because he didn’t need to apologize to anyone whatsoever
Troy you obviously don’t understand anything whatsoever and I don’t have the time to explain anything to idiots
The very fact sir, that your daughters stand there with you in this, is a testament to yours and their mother’s teaching. You taught them to respect those that we should trust. God bless you.
Thank you for being an amazing dad. You didn't fail. Your true strength is obvious and strong.
i was so proud to see what you did. i know it doesn’t fit into the courtroom system but it’s what needed to happen. go for you dad! we’re with you in Canada. at least me and my circle.
😭😭😭 I feel your hurt Dad!...You did what you have to do as a loving protective father...
From a fellow IBEW hats off to you sir! So sorry you are having to deal with this! I wish nothing but the best for you and your daughters as you try to put your lives back together.
This man has nothing to apologize for.
Speaking of which, where is Larry Nassar's public apology???
Nassar should’ve got his ass whooped he owes NO-ONE an apology
I do not accept his apology because I see no reason why he had to. I see only a strong father figure whom I need to look up to.
He should never feel remorseful for protecting and standing up for his daughters rights.
He is why Fathers Day was created. This is a true father, a real man. God bless him and all who have suffered.
I'm here for you!! Your a great father!
You know I wish I had had a father like him :'(
Anyone could understand the frustration , anger and deep sense of sadness. A great dad, and he is fortunate to have daughters such as you. I've been thru something similar. May hyou and your family be blessed. you deserve nothng less. much respect to you and your family.
I can only imagine your pain. From one father to another, God bless you, Dad ❤️
Keep these people in your prayers. They have a lot of healing to do.
2018 Man of the Year
I enjoy watching people like you get triggered. I can't relate to what it must be like to have a head full of rancid air.
Respect Mr. Margraves! Blessings to you and your family and all these young ladies and their families that have been affected.
You can see in his daughter's faces that that they are so proud of their father and what he did means the world to them. Having a strong, protective father is everything to a young girl.
Blessed family to have a supportive father🙏
Beautiful girls, I would love to have had a father to defend his family
I cried when I watched the impact statements and God bless your 3 courageous daughters
Wow. Clear, concise, heartfelt humble statement with nothing left out. Not all of the victims will have parents like he and his wife to help them recover.
I hope something is done to punish the people who looked the other way and created the circumstance for Nasser to continue for decades.
Nasser won’t last a year in jail!
Codiac Club there's ways around lock down. You obviously don't know anything about prison corruption
Let's just hope Nassars daily colon examination will be a thriller..... 😀
1994g0 Nassar is not a wrongdoer bc he committed those crimes intentionally, also people like him are a disgrace for humanity.
John Rush I mean there are some guards teaming up with the inmates to kill some chomos
He got beat up so badly at the federal prison here in Arizona that he had to be transferred prisons
THANK YOU FOR RELEASING HIM JUDGE JUDY
you have my sympathy no family should have to go through something like this.
You go dad it shows the love you have for your daughters. You made me proud thank you.
This man... is a good man.
I actually support all of those on the judicial side. Day in and day out they hear these horrific stories which must take a toll on them too. It has to be tough for the court officers. You know they are parents and would want to kick the snot out of many of these defendants. But, they do have a job to do, primarily maintaining decorum in the courtroom. However, I most definitely would not be able to contain myself, and if I was the father of these girls and I was in the room with Nassar, I would turn it ( I call "him" an "it"- Nassar is a cretin...not a man) into a horizontal slab of meat.
The criminal justice system is littered with stories of injustice. It only takes a rehashing of any of these infuriating stories of victims wronged by the system, or the defendant, to turn a simmering pot into a full-blown boil. Mr. Margraves reached the boiling stage. Yes, Nassar is in jail until the day "it" dies either naturally, or by prison justice. I am hopeful "it" is delivered to good ole Satan by a painful example prison justice, via the receiving side of a rusty, six-inch steel shank embedded in "its" kidneys.
If you are someone like me who believes in karma, I think that everything truly does happen for a reason, including the results of this outburst. Hopefully, this horrific situation fortifies the relationship between Mr. Margraves and his daughters. From what I have read, he and his daughters had a strained relationship prior to him becoming aware of the abuse. Somehow he has to come to terms with all of this, but what can he do? So, he will turn this into something good and let justice be served.
The judge should have sentenced him to 5 minutes alone locked in a room with that monster.
All the survivors should get together. they will feel so much better
How is he a hero, or great father when he was so out of touch with his kids that all 3 were molested on his watch?
So it is ok to disrespect the court? 175 years is not enough, what is enough? You all heroes praising violence.
Exactly!
🙄
Please don’t apologize, dear sir. I respect you
The only thing the father has to apologize for is not landing a punch on the pervert’s face.
