ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[Cutz]

Yes, wildflower. We can view the same video and get a completely different impression, of course.

There's nothing that I want to see; I don't have any vested interested in this case. I'm describing what I saw, which isn't what you're seeing or reading into it based on your personal experiences. No problem.

The police, prosecutors and witnesses seem to have seen it similarly to my take.

I think that's the rub tho. I feel like he was wrong, but I can see an argument he was defending himself. I think public perception and law enforcement are unilaterally condemning his behavior as violence against a woman. It's as if for any man to ever punch a woman is always absolutely wrong, and to disagree is "condoning domestic violence." Ignoring completely that men can be victims of domestic violence and that women are entirely capable of engaging in fisticuffs with a man.

And that's why I brought up the subject. I think the kid has no chance at a fair defense or unbiased trial by his peers. I think public perception is against him, and his best recourse is to plea.
