Ray Rice cut by team, suspended by NFL

[Drich]

First, assault in any form is a societal matter and not simply a private matter between individuals.

Maybe in some backwards socialist country it is, but here in 'Merica we (for the most part) give the 'assulted' the option to press charges or not.

Second, you come across as being extremely ignorant when it comes to domestic violence considerations (Intimate Partner Violence).

why because I do not support the group concensus?

I simply value personal choice over that of soceity telling a man and woman how they should live.

Here's some information for you assuming that you actually give a shit:

IPV Fact Sheet:

I get and acknoweledge these facts. I think they should be made avaiable to all who seek them. However at the same time for someone who chooses to stay in an abusive relationship should have the right to stay, and you and the rest of soceity should just mind your own business.

Again in this particual instance Mr.Rice's woman married him even after the KO. She obviously saw some redeeming quality to the man (40 million dollars) and decided to help him work on himself. All the while having the ablity to turn rice over if and when she has had enough and or needs outside help.[/quote]

Or maybe she figures 40 million dollars will help soften the next blow, if things escalates the way they did.

Or she's like many abused women, suffering from low self-esteem and insisting to herself that she is in love with a man who settled an argument by giving her a concussion. She may very well be rationalizing that the money makes the ill-treatment worthwhile. She released a statement earlier today where she almost seems to embrace her victim status:

"I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted [opinions] from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don't you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!"

if any of what you said here is true she has a problem herself seeking out and marrying men who are prone to violence.. The only difference is now they/she does not have access to 40 million dollars to find some sort of resolution.
