Rice released by Ravens

It doesn't have anything to do with it directly, but this seemed like the place for it. People get annoyed when old threads get bumped, and I didn't want to start a new thread about men beating women when we already have more than anyone would rather have.

 

I've never really liked the "domestic violence" label in general or when applied to this policy. The policy makes it sound like it's somehow less of a problem if you just up and punch some poor woman on the street over a parking spot.

 

Why do you applaud the Ravens? There's a decent chance they had seen this video before. And even if they didn't, they should have acted more harshly when this first came to their attention.

This guy is a piece of garbage and should never play again.

 

I don't think she's standin' by her man now that he's not bring home the BIG buck!

I know he was arrested in college at least once. He hit someone over the head with a pool cue. Then again as a pro in a nudey bar fracas.

 

She did try to hit him with the beer bottle and had already thrown some on him at the time. You don't get a free pass for being a drunk girl anymore.

Hell you apparently don't get the benefit of the doubt if you're an NFL lineman that gets stabbed either.....

 

Really? She didn't throw anything on him before that. So this is ok with you? So she deserved this even though he was on the outside of the fence and could have done the smart thing and walked away at any time? **edit...it's not letting me imbed the video from my ipad***

What is wrong with you guys and jumping to the "So this is ok with you crap!" I think (nope, pretty sure I did since it's right above this post!), I also said you don't get a pass at being stabbed if you're a drunk NFL lineman. So I guess I'm also ok with a guy getting stabbed because he bumped into someone......

JEEBUS! Get over yourselves sometime!

 

When I wrote "this" I was referring specifically to the Pac Man Jones video and not to domestic violence in general. I figured that was clear since I posted the video. I know that no one is okay with domestic violence.

So I ask again, you're okay with this because she was drunk and threw a drink on him?

I do understand that crazy and/or drunk girls can attack a guy and he does have the right to defend himself...but only as a last resort. That is what is so disturbing about the Rice video. It was reported that they had a fight and hit each other. Every Rice apologist said that you don't know what went on in the elevator. I imagined that video would have shown a crazy woman attacking him in an elevator (think Beyonces sister attack Jay-Z http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_6lrpg6kh/) and that Rice was defending himself. But that wasn't the case. She was savagely attacked and beaten.

And thats clearly not the case with Pac Man either. He's on the outside of the fence and free to leave and walk away EVEN AFTER she assaults him with the drink. He chose to hit her. To me there is no difference between what Rice did and what Pac Man does in this video. Hopefully in this **** storm it will be revisited.

 

OK, while I don't agree with him hitting her in that video. Yeas, he should have calmed himself down and walked away from the girl that came to him and escalated the confrontation to a physical nature. Let's look at what happens when a man dumps a drink on another man. Normally a fight ensues, which is why most men don't do that unless they've gotten to the fighting point. He had his day in court for it as well. http://www.tmz.com/2013/10/08/adam-pacman-jones-not-guilty-hitting-woman-nightclub-ohio/

 

Just heard from two news sources Janay was knocked out by the hand rail going to the floor...lol I was wondering how that Dwarf could knocked out a woman.

 

hand rail?
stiff arm?

 

There's no way to determine when she was actually knocked out by the video that we see. Also, if you look at it, the force of his hit drove her into the rail, it was not her falling.

 

Good job sir!
