First of all, I raised my daughters to be able to defend themselves at all times, and to choose a mate wisely. They know that if the man is trying to alienate them from friends, family, etc, keep moving. They know that if he is coming on strong from the beginning, move on. I never said that I CONDONED what he did, i said that there is more to it than we know, and n matter what you say, Mahogany, *smh* sometimes, it is impossible to move on. For those who have lost their lives because of this, i understand the tragedy of it. But, again, I will stand by my opinion of this situation. That you are trying to make this personal and convince me that a man should never hit a woman is a moot point. I know that. My father never hit my mother, my brothers don't hit their wives, my brother in law doesn't hit my sister, and i have never been hit. But, if those things were to ever occur, you'd better believe that I would defend myself and my daughters with my life. I have even told the boyfriends of my daughters that they are NEVER to lay a hand on them, and if they did, they better leave the planet because there is nowhere they can hide. Yes, he should have walked away, should have thought things out clearly. However, he was in the moment, and he didn't. However, since you posed it to me, I shall now pose it to you. There are very many violent women in this society. If a woman were to beat the brakes off your son, would you still want him to WALK AWAY? 2 sides to every story, and no matter whether or not we like the outcome, shyt does happen, and I would expect your son to defend himself, just as i have taught my daughters to defend themselves... 'Nuff said.

I am not justify what he did, neither do I condone it. When you are in a relationship, you should know what buttons not to push. Far ro often, women DO provoke men just because the law is on their side. I believe that both of them need help, beginning with counseling. As far as the rumors go, that is all we know them to be, just rumors. And, for the record, there are just as many female abusers as there are male, but men don't go around speaking on it. Whatever the problem was, No, he shouldn't have beat her, and yes, he should pay. None of us were there when it happened, don't know what the alleged reasons were for him to beat the brakes off her, and none of us know why she didn't get out the car when it pulled over. Again, there are some who grew up in and around violence, and that is all they know.
Not advocating why he didn't walk, cause i am not in his mind, For every reason that he should have walked, there is a reason why he stayed. Same for Rhianna. I have dealt with it. I learned how to fight back, and it doesn't matter how much stronger the man is over the woman. Take a self defense class. No woman should ever take a beat down by any man. I guess that my initial opinion was not indepth enough for you all to get. At no time did I advocate what he did. All I stated was, if she provoked him, amybe that is why he beat her up. As a woman, I know what buttons not to push. I also know when to keep my mouth shut. But i am a much older woman, who has travelled down that road. Women, you need to KNOW who your man is, and if you are having any doubts, walk away. Even a man that has never shown signs of abuse, can be abusive, whether it be physical, verbal or emotional abuse. Know how to shut your mouths when you see the anger. Just because you got all that, it doesn't mean that he won't beat you. Look at Pastors Bynum & Weeks...
And, we are only seeing the pictures of Rhianna. As horrible as they are, can any of you say that you do not believe that there is another side that we are not hearing about? I honestly don't care abouth the rumors, cause the rumors stated that he knew she had the STD. That she had it and it is incurable speaks volumes of her character, as young as she is. There are those of you that will say that she made a mistake. In this day and age, unprotected sex is not a mistake. It is a risk that is willingly taken. So before all you automatically assume that i am taking sides, read what i said.

And you can clearly tell by this picture that he has a problem, he choked her, beat her unconcious, bit her on the arms a few times.....so that means she was trying to block all these blows he was putting on her....

And for people (men and women alike) to automatically say......she must have done something....speaks volumes about how they would handle the situation themselves..............It's just sad

ceedub......the only reason that I can see a man defending himself on a woman, that he has to use his fists, is if she has a knife or gun on him....and then you should be trying to get somewhere not beating her.

This man clearly beat the hell out of this woman and there is nothing that she could have done to provoke this type of abuse.......the rumors are that she gave him a std, she was cheating on him, he was cheating on her.....and those are not legitimate reasons to beat anyonoe male or female......

He needs to pay for what he done, just like the next man would......and any man that feels like it is ok to beat a woman up because "she was hollering in my face and taunting me", is lesser than a man, and the same goes for a woman that abuses a man.....it's pathetic, rediculous, cowardice, and uncalled for.

I understand, Mahogany. No man should ever hit on a woman. But if the rumors are true, and she provoked him, maybe it just wasn't that easy to walk away, and it doesn't matter what he was or was not taught. There are some women that will provoke a man into beating the hell out of them, just because they know that the law is on their side, and that is not right either. I feel so sorry for these young people. This just may be the wake up call that is needed for this generation of young folk who insist on immediate gratification, unconcerned about what the consequences or repercussions may be...
