un-f*cking-belivable

It is constantly amazing to me the ease with which people justify violent reactions.

- If a victim of domestic abuse "ain't trippin," maybe its b/c that's a pattern for abuse victims. But, hey, we wouldn't want to educate ourselves on the larger issues ... that might mean examining how you yourself behave. Also, one thing I realized this morning is, for all the "it was a momentary lapse," "he does so much good," etc. I have never heard Ms. Rice say "HE HAS NEVER LAID HANDS ON ME BEFORE." If she has said this, please someone tell me. To me, that would be pretty critical in any evaluation of the situation. Her failure to say it seems to me to be indicative that, while this may be the first time he knocked her out, it isn't the first time he has smacked her around.

- Was she a threat in any way to harm him? Did Ray Rice, uber-athlete, really have no choice but to cold cock her? Couldn't avoid or restrain without excessive violence? So a 10 year old kid comes up to him and kicks him in the shin and spits on him, knock the little bastard out! Christ almighty.

I say it again, the veneer of civilization is very thin in much of our society.
