This week everyone has been talking
about Ray Rice's assault of his then fiancee, the new footage
released, and Janay Rice's reaction to the public reaction of her
reaction. I have found a timeline of the events that have led to a
public case of abuse and an organizations pathetic attempt to cover
it all up. This is a batch of nonsense that will get a lot worse
before this is all said and done.
In the last few days since the video has been released there has been an 84% increase in calls to the National Domestic Abuse Hotline. Click here to contact them.
February 15. At the Revel Casino Hotel
in Atlantic City Ray and Janay got into a fight. Both were charged
with simple assault-domestic violence and were summoned to appear in
court.
February 17. Ray Rice's Baltimore
Raven's team manager Ozzie Newsome released a statement saying that
they would wait for more information before taking any actions. Bad
move.
