Ray Rice Is A...

You can say the term, reg. It is a real thing. Battered Woman Syndrome. It is a real, tragic thing, and that's what this is.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah, guy. It's real and it's very sad.

Yeah, I mean, this is pretty much a perfect textbook definition example.

...goddamn hero. He converted a 4th and 29 in week 12 of the year the Ravens won the Superbowl. I believe that entitles him to knock out 72 virgins.

I can kind of sort of partially accept what Pax is saying if we work on the (now obviously false) premise that she was attacking him, except for the whole thing that he's a huge ****ing football player made of muscle and she's a woman that he can knock out cold in one strike. There is no plausible way she's a threat to him.

If it had been mutual combat, why should the fact that one of the participants was a woman matter in the slightest?

[regexcellent]

Because she's half his size.

[DinoDoc]

Because she's half his size.

Still operating under the premise that mutual combat existed, who cares?

[Kidlicious]

I didn't see the video. Didn't he walk in and knock her out?

Anyone who realizes that someone half your size can't plausibly harm you, so if she was hitting him (she wasn't) that doesn't give him license to knock her cold.

A family member says he slapped her and her head hit the elevator.

This obviously wasn't mutual combat but if anyone starts hitting you, they forfeit their protections against being hit back.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. "Sometimes it's okay to hit women!" Congratulations, you support equality.

Reflexive disagreement with a point made by reg.

A family member says he slapped her and her head hit the elevator Floor.

Corrected. After she maliciously banged her face on his fist, she hit her head on the elevator floor, where she lay limp. Then he dragged her out of the elevator. He did not pick her up. He did not check for vitals. He dragged her, like you'd drag a body you were planning on disposing of. True, he didn't pee on her at that point.

Oh really? How do you know that? Did a little bird tell you?

Says here she spit in his face right before he struck her.
