Analysis Summary
Conditional emotional appeal
Using guilt, fear, or obligation to pressure you into compliance. The message is: "If you were a good person, you would do this." It bypasses rational evaluation by making refusal feel like a moral failure.
Forward's FOG model (1997) — Fear, Obligation, Guilt
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- This video provides a specific case study of a unique legal and political situation where a criminal defendant is simultaneously a popular political candidate.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements

Spencer is facing seconddegree murder charges for the killing of a man Keith says raped his daughter. >> He sound like a hero to me. I don't know what y'all talking about. Let's roll the news clip. >> It's about every parent, every neighbor, every family. >> It's the campaign kickoff for an Arkansas sheriff's race everyone is talking about. His name is Aaron Spencer and he's running to be the top law man of Lowenoke County. All while currently fighting murder charges, announcing his campaign in a Facebook post. Through my own fight for justice, I have seen firsthand the failures in law enforcement. >> Spencer is facing seconddegree murder charges for the killing of a man Keith says his daughter. According to court documents, >> out listen. I want you to listen. They said he is fighting seconddegree murder charges. You heard that? He's running for sheriff. He won the primary. You heard that part? Now listen to what he listen to why he's being charged. Listen to the specifics. This will blow your mother freaking mind. Wrote a clip. >> On a night last October, Spencer awoke to his dog barking and found his 13-year-old daughter missing. A hoodie on a stuffed animal placed in her bed and found her in the trunk of 67year-old Michael Fostler. After forcing Foster's vehicle off the road, a confrontation ending with Spencer shooting and killing Fostler. According to the court documents and according to court records, Fostler was out on bond after being charged with multiple sex offenses involving a child. In lifting a gag order on Spencer's proceedings, a judge writing Fosler's alleged offenses were acts against Spencer's teenage daughter. Spencer not responding to our request for an interview, but his attorney telling NBC News in a statement he was quote justified under Arkansas law in taking action to protect his daughter and himself. >> Time out. Time out. Now, what planet? What? What? What what jurisdiction in the universe make? There's no reason for your 13year-old daughter be in a car with a grown MAN UNLESS HE DOING SOMETHING HE AIN'T supposed to be doing. That's sustainable. If you're looking for a night drink that helps you sleep through the night, clean, natural energy, no fluff, no BS. And some people don't know what the word shin mean, but the shin represents God. It is the 21st letter of the Hebrew language and it represents God and we have a scripture on every single package. So this is not just some fly by night company. It was very thoughtful, very methodical in the way we operate and I want you guys to uh go to synergy.com if you want an energy drink. Scan the QR code over to the top corner. There's no reason for your 13year-old daughter be in a car with a grown man UNLESS HE DOING SOMETHING HE AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I CATCH MY KID IN THE CAR WITH YOU, YOU'RE DYING. That won't even be a conf They said confrontation and it led to you dying before the confrontation. You ain't got no reason to have somebody 13-year-old daughter in the car. She left the room somehow and you must have took her. Just kidnapping somebody baby is a death penalty. Then a confrontation happened. WHAT ARE WE SAYING? WE KNOW THERE ain't no witnesses. His daughter is the only witness. This man is a hero if you ask me. Man, listen to what some people in the city said. Let's finish the clip and then we're going to listen to some some wangsters in the city and what they had to say about this man. I ain't no way in the world I don't have no nobody tell me nothing. If I had my wife on here right now, she be she'll be cussing on here. Ain't no way in the world that a man go to jail for end up killing a guy who kidnapped his daughter out of bedroom. And he was also a sex offender. Wrote a clip. >> Father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed. >> After his video post went viral with many commenters praising Spencer, his wife launched multiple fundraisers that have since been removed. The campaign's Facebook page with 15,000 followers now links to a new fundraising page. Spencer posting, "Support from this community has been beyond anything I imagined. The primary is set for March. Candidate filings begin next month. Spencer will likely face off against current Lo County Sheriff John Staley, whose department arrested him." NBC News reached out to Staley's office for comment, but did not hear back. The sheriff telling one local paper he couldn't comment on Spencer's case because of the pending trial, but that he'll run again, saying, "Since 2013, I have served as sheriff with a clear mission to protect our citizens and hold those who break the law accountable." NBC News also reached out to the county prosecutor's office, but have not heard back. A man charged with taking the law into his own hands, now trying to turn the tables and take hold of the office that enforces the law. >> All right, let's put this in perspective. Y'all know I'm a man of law and order. If there is articulable evidence that somehow he committed a murder unjustifiably according to the law, then he has to be held accountable. But I I I can't find any way that this is not legal. I I I don't know what you should have latitude to do whatever you think is necessary with complete with complete immunity. If your 13-year-old is in a car with a sex offender and and he he had kidnapped her, you should have the latitude to do everything including beheading this person. That's just my opinion. All right, come on. Roll the clip. We got a little bit more clips. Roll it. >> I did what any good father would do. Uh save and protect their child. >> That's Aaron Spencer. He just won the Republican primary in the sheriff's race for Lono County, Arkansas. He is also set to go on trial for seconddegree murder. >> A lot of people are just saying, "I would do what he did. I, you know, I don't blame him." And although I can understand why people feel that way, you've got to separate your feelings when you're a law enforcement officer. >> To think you can just take the law into your own hands like that and then still think you can run for sheriff. It's just weird. We also found that some voters were survivors of sexual assault themselves and that's what got them to the polls. >> When I was five or six years old, I was it was the first time I was and that's why I want Aaron Spencer to stop things like that from happening. >> Spencer's trial date hasn't been set, but could fall before the November election. If he is convicted, he won't be able to hold office. Are you prepared for all scenarios in your future? I would be lying to say I wasn't stressed or anything like that, you know. And I think if you're going into office and you're not scared about it or you're dealing with a trial and you're not a little scared about it, you know, um I think that's definitely the wrong behavior and attitude and thought process to have. >> He's innocent until proven guilty. We don't have any video footage of the incident, do we? Now, if if you got video of a guy saying, "Hey, man, I'm sorry that I and he just stands over him and his daughter is safe and there's no evidence that anything else happened, I guess, and he shoots the guy in the head." Pow. And maybe people can have a bigger argument, but there's no video evidence. I I don't know what other evidence they have to articulate. You You do that to somebody. That's like if I I'm not a victim. If I take your 13-y old daughter out of the house and I already been in trouble for doing offenses like this in the past and I'm caught with your you do whatever you want to do. I'm not a victim. Don't come crying for me. I deserve to be I deserve to be hanging on off a tree if you ask me. All right, I know y'all outraged on that. Write right in the comment section. Is that Is that not the craziest thing? I hope he win because I think that the system sometimes do need to be bucked. Now, if the man is guilty according to the law, then I'm not I'm not I don't support that. But it's kind of f it's kind of hard for me to see a man being guilty of doing something defending his own kid who had no business being in that car with that man. That man had no business with that man kid. I don't care what that kid said. That man had no business with that man kid. Anyway, let's
