Many people feel the way you do.
It's just that the woman involved forgave him, married him and still is with him that makes me think those that can't forgive aren't looking at the whole picture and might not even try.
Especially after what Rice has been doing since that incident to make himself a better person, admit his behavior was unacceptable and be out there trying to keep others from doing the same.
The main thing is relationships need to be loving and violence has no part in in any relationship.
Ray was wrong and no excuse s can be given, but when alcohol is involved bad things tend to happen a lot easier especially when both have a bit too much .
Being drunk isn't an excuse or even a valid reason, at any time, for hitting a woman .
But trying to atone for what you did and how the injured party feels needs to be taking into consideration when it comes to forgiveness .
That is unless you qualify to be the one to "cast the first stone" and that isn't just in this case alone, but any and every mistake one made that could have adversely affected others .
for added thought
