Correct.

Acceptable = knocking your wife out with no video of it.

Unacceptable = knocking your wife out on video.

That's what this incident has shown.

There's a sh*t ton of hypocrites strutting around lately.

'Fox & Friends' jokes about Ray Rice video spark outrage

"After discussing the latest developments in the Ray Rice situation — in which the star ex-Baltimore Ravens running back assaulted his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator — Kilmeade joked, “I think the message is, take the stairs.”"

Amazingly poor taste

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice

She may have only stayed for the money and now, since the new video came out, there won't be any more money. That may be one of the unspoken reasons she's pissed.

I feel sorry for her but not because of the money. They can live on the money he's already made. I feel sorry for her because she is with a man she can't trust and probably fears.

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice

As much as her statement pissed me off (and trust me, it did) I have to keep reminding myself that that type of statement she released is typical of a battered woman. Until she fully removes herself from that situation (if she ever does) she won't see herself as a victim instead of a target.

And to all the people (not here in particular but other places I've seen) saying "oh we don't know what really happened" and "wah, they deserve their privacy", f that. Ray Rice let everyone into their private life the minute he knocked his wife out in a public area.

Sadly battered woman syndrome is usually an extension of childhood abuse. It can take the form of being abused personally or seeing parents physically fight. I had heard about it growing up, but it really hit home during college where I was unfortunate enough to see how situations like this unfold.

In short one woman I knew who came from a stable loving home (I had actually met her family and visited her home on multiple occasions), not only walked out on her abuser without hesitation, but vigilantly pursued criminal charges. On the other hand there were two other women I knew who based on what I could gather had pretty rough childhoods. To put it into perspective one got legally emancipated at 16 years old, because as she put it, going to boot camp was club med compared to staying at home.

Long story short one stayed with and defended an abusive a-hole BF (literally used a slightly altered version of the 'fell down the stairs' explanation when asked why she had a black eye). The other jumped from one abusive guy to the next. In fact one time she cheated on an abusive guy who then apparently got into a fight with the other abusive guy she had slept with (shocker I know).

The worst part is these incidents are almost never isolated. Rather they bleed into multiple generations, until somehow, someway, a person strong enough comes along and breaks the cycle. It's a nice story when it happens but the buildup is to painful to watch.

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice

Hershe's Pizza: Baltimore pizza parlor offers pizza for Ray Rice jersey - wptv.com
Quote:
“Dear Lovers of Women, Not Hitting Women, Non Violence and Just Generally Being a Good Person,
Come trade your Ray Rice Ravens Jersey in for a free pizza at Hersh's,” reads the statement. “These jerseys will save us money on toilet paper this week.”

Shortly after the Ravens announced Rice’s firing, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice indefinitely .

The initial Facebook post was shared close to 300 times in about three hours. Hersh's later announced that the shop would donate $2.70, after Rice's No. 27, to the House of Ruth for every jersey it received.

"Since there are only so many we can use for toilet paper," a new Facebook post read.

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice

The guy is screwed. Everyone from DC to Beijing has seen the video by now. He will be extremely lucky to play one down of football ever again!!!!!! Then his one comment was "I have to be strong for my wife." Really, you need to cold cock her and drag her around to be strong for her?
