What, exactly is the pupose of the Ray Rice saturated coverage
and what is it attempting to achieve ?
The outrage. The hair on fire reactions. The calls for the heads of any and all that did not act quickly. The vicious attacks on the victim/wife. And on and on.
Disclaimer
Now before we get it twisted, I am the father of two women, the brother of four and husband of three. My Mother raised me with the maxim "treat women like you want your sisters treated." I've yet to hit or abuse one. I strongly disapprove and condemn Mr. Rice's actions.
Mr. Rice has exhibited very poor judgment, lack of maturity, self control and a total lack of respect for the values and principles he was raised with.
He has lost his job, part time jobs, respect of a community that once adored him. His alma mater has scorned him. His family has been devastated...they don't recognize this person.
This ugly incident happened about 7 months ago, and the punishment was dealt out. He and his wife went through mandatory counseling and personal anguish. The Judge, prosecutor and police made a judgment back then.
So, now, what is it that the public (or the msm) want ?
= new reply since forum marked as read
i'm glad it's getting attention. getting political about an anecdotal event is sometimes helpful in illustrating a point. violence against women, domestic violence and stalking not being taken seriously and whatnot.
people who's roles impart onto them an self-expectation of grandeur, according to our societies views, must experience some disconnection with those whom they love in certain environments where-in their roles must dominate their behavior. must be hard.
the existence of a tiered society is the root of almost all violence.
had to put it in there. sorry.
11 years on the previous. 2 on the first. Hopefully I grew a little with each one
Mormon much? 
This is DU. A discussion forum.
It works like this:
When an issue is "current events" we start a bunch of threads to discuss it. And then we discuss it, and each person presents his or her thoughts. If an issue is a really compelling one, we start 50 threads about it.
Discussion. Yep.
There is a trash thread feature if you are unhappy with the thread titles before you. Just thought you might need to know that.
Personally, if a topic isn't important to me then I just read other threads. But I don't complain if others are interested. I certainly am not troubled that people are very concerned with domestic violence.
Perhaps you could go all Jedi and ask yourself why the discussion of this topic is annoying you?
Men are barely equipped to deal w/ one woman at a time. Sex is a secondary concern.
You could have been polyamorous as well - but I figured you meant consecutive spouses, not concurrent ones. 
Sorry if I seemed patronizing, I personally just don't click on subjects I don't care so much about, and I like to see what's trending here when something is a hot topic.
For example, NBC has The Toad on now...tripping balls while the POTUS is trying to carry on a coherent conversation. I mean really...how has the mainstream media come to this?
Uh...is that dude talking to me? Um..Syria...something...
It is sad, infotainment channels understand they don't need to appeal to any kind of standard anymore and this is just IMO I think they promote domestic violence and have very racist undertones when it comes to which celebrity they save and which one they burn.
I sometimes post things with the hope that will help progressives stay focused on what's real or important, instead of shiny objects that distract from our goals.
Its always a group of coward thugs beating on one person or some coward thug punching an old lady to get her purse or a gang of thug cops beating on some skinny homeless guy or some coward cop thug shooting some unarmed kid who had his hands up or some coward thug fuck pointing a gun at journalists and threatening to kill them or some giant sports thug knocking out a woman then dragging her limp body around like it was a piece of trash.
I have fucking had with the culture and the BULLSHIT excuses that follow!
"Just one bad apple", "They're Heroes!", "I'm reserving judgement until all of the facts are known", "They're just misguided youths", "They don't have father figures to look up to"," We need more after school programs!", "We need more training", "He said he was sorry!" and on and on and on and on!
I'VE FUCKING HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THE COWARD THUG CULTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thug life, thug culture etc. are known references meant to refer to and denigrate all young black men. I don't believe that was your intention but that's what it is.
btw, I hope you and yours were not negatively impacted by the weather out there the last couple of days.
