Get it Straight, Domestic Violence is Very Real...and Not "God's Plan"

What the fuck is Janay Rice talking about? When is punching a woman God's plan for anything? Maybe I am ignorant religiously, although I think 12 years of Catholic school makes me somewhat of an expert on the topic. Not that I want to go all militant Catholic here, but I'm sure in all religions we can agree, no deity would want someone to hurt another person to make a point. I'll stretch it one step further and say that no human would truly believe that it is a good thing to be knocked out so that others will not repeat the mistake. Mrs. Rice is clearly stupid...was she also high when she gave that interview? Who says shit like that? Of course, someone will cry racism while reading this. Fuck you, too. Did I say anything about her race? No, I didn't. I said she was stupid. She'd be a moron if she was green with purple stripes. Yes, being knocked out by your husband is a fine example of what an asshole he is...not a vehicle to raise awareness. When she said this, did she realize how it made women who are really abused, who are fearful in their own homes, who can't say or do anything about it because they have children they are protecting feel? Did she know that it was like a knife being plunged into their hearts?

Shaking my head as I type this, I wonder what the fuck went through her head as the words fell out of her mouth. Domestic violence is a very real part of the lives of many women...and men. Something they don't want to talk about. Something that paralyzes them with fear, keeps them from maintaining friendships, at times prevents them from working, destroys self esteem, and creates scars both inside and out that last a lifetime. This is a topic very close to my heart and I take it very fucking seriously. There are no jokes to tell, no snide commentary today. I have nothing snarky to say this time. It's a horrific existence for both the abused and their children. The children suffer, too, in case you weren't aware. We are helpless to begin with, coupled with the fact that we are watching the person we love the most being treated like garbage...you can't imagine the scar tissue that builds on the heart of a child who has witnessed it. You should never know the internal pain and heartache it causes. You should never know it because it never ends. It's a lifetime of hurt that doesn't go away.

Do you have any idea what the abused person is thinking, is going through, is feeling? No, you don't and you can't. So, when you nod your head knowingly at what Janay was saying, believing you completely understood her plight and what had happened, you are simply making a jackass out of yourself. Unless you've been abused or witnessed abuse, you just don't know. Not forgetting the fact that what she said was utter nonsense and no abused woman would ever say that...ever. Her fucktardedness makes me wonder if she's one of those limelight whores who used this incident to make herself sound like a martyr to gain some sort of public acceptance, to explain away why she stays with an abuser. Don't for a second think that this was an isolated incident. Don't for a second believe this was the first time he was abusive in any form of the word. If a man can knock his fiancee out in a public place, with the possibility of being seen, do you realize what has happened behind closed doors? Do you know the things he's said to her? The horrible, degrading, cruel words that have shot out of his mouth like verbal poison...leaving emotional scarring that will be with her forever. There's not a doubt in my mind that he's already used his hands on her in an unkind way. Not a shred of uncertainty that she's been shoved, grabbed too tightly, smacked...kicked. Trust me when I tell you, this was not the first and will not be the last time she is hurt by this animal.

Let's see Ray Rice for the piece of shit he really is instead of trying to sweep it under the rug so he can maintain his superstar status as an athlete. "One bad night" my ass! Are we really supposed to believe he had so little self control that an argument sent him reeling to the point of actually punching his wife out? How stupid does the American public look to you, shitheel? Actually, now that I think about it, we have some window licking morons living in this fine country. I'm sure many of them have fallen for this line of bullshit hook, line, and sinker. Bunch of ignorant bastards! Why can't we believe that someone in the spotlight can also be a total douchebag? Nobody is perfect, why should a movie star, politician, or athlete be any different? We put these assholes up on pedestals so high, it's impossible to bring them down. Fuck that. They screw up just like everyone else. Sometimes worse because they believe they are immune to the same rules and standards as the rest of us. Let's hold them accountable. Let's hold him responsible for his actions...the one we saw and the ones only his wife knows about. He needs to know that what he did, what he does is unacceptable and we are not going to tolerate it by keeping him up on that goddamn pedestal any longer. Knock him the fuck off of it. Do you think showering him with adulation will help him? Do you really think he's going to stop? Are you friggin kidding me right now???
