Horrible things happen in an elevator: I thought the worse that could happen is me farting alone in one and then someone enters. But this video I saw today…chilled me to my bones. Here’s the gist: Ray Rice is an NFL player. In this video we see him knocking out his then fiance, now wife unconcious. If you watch the video properly you will notice that just one punch sent her to the ground and she hit her head against the rails… I try to imagine how painful that was, but I shudder!
Apparently before they got into the elevator she shoved him, when he first hit her in the elevator she hit back and then he gave a the fatal knockout. So, some people argue that he was provoked.
The incident took place Feb. 15th at the Revel Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. FYI, they got married a month after that.
Here are the questions I have:
1. Why did she go on to marry him about a month after that assault?
2. If a man (woman) hits you once, can they change?
3. Is provocation enough justification for physical violence?
4. Does verbal abuse always lead to physical abuse?
