A few thoughts:
1) I don't think there's any disagreement here that DV perps have done evil and need to be dealt with, and that society as a whole needs to improve every circumstance leading up to and surrounding problems like that.
2) But DAYUM, there is some unhealthy Guilty Until Proven Innocent present in our society, and it shows up in this thread too. Jail Zack Smith, fire Urban Meyer, if that's what's warranted, but give them their due process, let them have their day in court with a jury that hasn't already mentally convicted them and a defense that does its job to the best of its ability. Our justice system was founded partly on the principle of making the prosecution earn it, and I whole-heartedly agree with that. Reacting emotionally, not allowing a defense or waiting for the conclusion of a full investigation, and comments like "FUCK EVERYBODY WHO DEFENDS THESE POS's!!!!" have never been the basis for justice. It's the basis for a lynch mob.
3) Part of me fights off an inner smirk because I've always had a good time with Buckeye fans until Meyer was hired and I told them he was a scumbag POS at Florida and he'd likely be a scumbag POS there too. Upon which some of them (a couple here) turned on me and told me what a hater I was. That part of me wants this to end in tears, because among other things, I am a petty sumbitch.
4) FFS, do not engage in a straw man fallacy and think that anything in #3 should be interpreted as me being somehow happy that a woman was a victim of DV or overlooking that her horrific experiences are the actual story here. Well, not here, or anywhere else, but her story SHOULD BE the story. Urban Meyer, his shitbagness, and my childish sense of justification every time he proves it, should really be a footnote in the headlines and on the networks.
5) Hey guys. Anybody found Stingray yet? I miss that dude.
