Was it warranted in this case? Was Rice’s life in danger? The authorities who prosecuted Rice don’t think so. Rice has apologized for his actions, which are inexcusable except for a lunatic fringe who defend his actions.

Dunno. I have heard that his hitting her is not what knocked her out. And someone falling on something, knocking them out, can happen pretty easily if you are just unlucky.

But if she was physically assaulting him first, I have no problem with him offering a measured response back. But again, if she is drunk and unstable, that measured response could be enough for her to lose her footing, bang her head on a protrusion and get knocked out.

But I’ve not seen the video, nor will I sit in judgement of either of them. Frankly, it’s none of my business. I’m sure the authorities will do their job with all the thoroughness and precision of any government organization. ;-)
