Kicked off the Ravens now that the Commish has been "outed" as having seen the video of the actual punch prior to handing down a slap-on-the-wrist 2 game suspension.

Right, because the way to help troubled people is to keep them unemployed and throw them into prisons instead of giving them the resources they need to become the better people that they certainly want to be themselves. Keep pushing people down as hard as you can, then wondering why they don't rise above their upbringings.
Prisons aren't built to help people.
Isn't that exactly why Rice is unemployed?

Will his wife leave him now if he can't bring home the big NFL money? Beatings + no money = no fun.
The video shows his wife hitting him as she walks over to the elevator, he follows her, and then inside the elevator she hits him, not sure if he slaps her, but then she comes across the elevator to hit him again and he knocks her out. He then drags her most of the way out of the elevator and it looks like a security guard or employee comes over to see what's going on. She eventually comes to and sits up a bit. Judge for yourself based on that. I don't think that his action was any different now than I thought it was before, except that it is clear that he is retaliating to assault (assault that is essentially trivial to a big running back).

Ray indicated in his phony mea culpa that he wasn't raised that way, so which is it? When is it his turn to take responsibility for his own actions? This could have all been avoided with a reasonable punishment in the first place.

If I understand you right, yeah let's go loot some liquor stores. That'll show'em.
He'll have supporters because he only beat on a woman. Somehow that has become socially acceptable. But if he would have beat a dog... He'd never be forgiven.
Ray Lewis may have killed a man and at the least was accessory to murder. Statue Built.
Mike Vick, knew a guy who abused dogs. Prison time.
Let us discuss the 60,000 Raven fans that gave Rice a standing ovation at the first home exhibition game !
(are they feeling stupid now ?)

If they didn't feel stupid being a Ravens fan in the first place why would they feel stupid now?
Where did Mike Tyson record his first Knockout?.......On his honeymoon!

I do not think he should be kicked out of the NFL for life. Suspend him for a year and if he can find a team to pick up then so be it.
Actually, I don't see how the NFL can suspend him for more than 6 games since that is the standard THEY set.
I don't think people should lose their jobs for any crime that doesn't involve lengthy jail time. Let the justice system determine the penalty and serve justice. No need to terminate a person's job or career for something that didn't even involve charges.
There's no new information in the video: they had a tiff, she hit him, he KO'd her. The elevator video just confirms what was already known. But it changes everything. Our sense of justice seems to be anchored to the level of media frenzy about a given incident.
Really is a sad case. A couple goes out, starts drinking. The woman gets pissed off about something, starts hitting her man. The man gets pissed off and unloads on her. Now that the public has gotten hold of it, he's out of a job, millions of dollars and will be lucky to ever get hired again. She's just as screwed. She had a nice sugar daddy but that wasn't enough. She had to show off her publicly accepted woman powers and push him to the brink. In doing so she absolutely screwed herself. Yes, she can get another man but unlikely someone with this kind of dough. And any man will look at her now and think "do I want to go out with her and get slapped around and have to sit idly by and thank her for doing so?".
Something is seriously wrong here. Since we see more and more of this type of thing going on and continue to react the same way, like a lynch mob, maybe we should look at the big picture. What is the root cause in all this violence among couples? Rich, seemingly happy celebrity couples beating on each other. Why is that?
I think deep down we know what the root cause is. We just dont want to talk about it. A life of enslavement is preferred by most, apparently.
The woman is a victim, therefore the rightful owner of her newly enslaved man. The empowerment of women is becoming the destruction of mankind. And the public is thoroughly enjoying the show.

Worth repeating.

I thought someone killed him...

Nothing on that video is different than what I thought happened. It's amazing what stupid rich white people will put up the blinders for to try keep making money (Ravens mgmt and Goodell)
Rice is pathetic, hitting a woman makes you a gigantic pu$$y. There is a reason it is mostly a white person crime.
"Mike Vick, knew a guy who abused dogs. Prison time."
Vick financed a dog-fighting operation, little bit different.
