Ray Rice: Beat Her, Choke Her, Knock Her Out... Marry Her

[pstall]

Everything goes better.....with Rice

Say goodbye to half your dollar bills Ray, she'll drop you like it's hot in a few months.

Actually they may have gotten married as a legal maneuver. I wonder if they are now protected by a legal theory/law called spousal privilege (spousal testimonial privilege).

14 posts and not one condemnation of the "man" who did this?

 

Messed up.

 

I won't judge her because I can't know what else happens in their relationship.

 

 

His deviant behavior and response to it pretty much goes without saying.  But, just to make you feel better:

 

 

 

That being said, if a woman marries a guy that has knocked her out, and who has dragged and dropped her unceremoniously like a sack of potatoes (face down) as opposed to picking her up in his loving, strong arms, then you can't tell me that she doesn't have some screws loose. If that were my daughter, I would be raising pure hell. And, it wouldn't matter what happened in the relationship. For me, that would be the end of it.

 

Fortunately I have a son that I have taught that it's never OK to hit a woman---restrain her, yes, but hit her, no.  Now of course there may be some women out there who can put a beating on a guy, but I haven't seen them (although I know that they exist).  In any event, my son is 6'2"-ish and around 230 lbs at 15 years old, so I tell him I don't think that he'll ever have that problem.

Can't be compelled to testify now.

 

Not to be the joke killer but if he actually physically assaults her the state of New Jersey compels her to testify against him.

Spousal privilege doesn't apply when the spouse is the victim of the crime.

Oh, the things a guy will do to keep a woman from testifying against him.

"Sure I want to go jewelry and shoe shopping, sweetie!"

It wasn't a joke, but I see where you're right after looking it up. Abuse is an exemption to spousal privilege.

WTF?? Stop the planet I wanna get off....

This isn't new. Hope Solo is married to a rapist who used to play in the NFL who also beat her up.

 

Society is collapsing. I don't understand how it still holds up. How do these people maintain family relations? Do their parents visit them and attend weddings and holiday parties and shake hands and chum it up with their daughter's violent abuser?

 

Women have very little self-respect these days. Perhaps it's an inherent thing. In older traditions and older cultures women didn't make many decisions. Mostly their male family members decided for them and you had arranged marriages.

 

Often people mock Islam and the culture but our culture isn't much better. Their women walk around shrouded, ours walk around practically naked with leggings and similar items of clothing. Look at the disgusting crimes in the news everyday in our country, the violence toward women, the rape, etc.

 

At least outsiders can look at them and blame religion. What can we point to for our failed society? Nothing. Only ourselves.

there are drastic differences between both societies...  you should talk to someone who knows the difference.

Lucky guy.. hard to find a women who can take a punch these days.

Let the facts come out, right now there is no evidence out to the public that he "beat" and "choked" her. All we know is there was an altercation, in which she ended up unconscious and BOTH were arrested for that night.
