if I believe what I hear and have seen in the media, Ron Artest has a checkered past when it comes to violent behavior. so this may be a bad example to pick. and I have no idea what really happened the other night when he was arrested. but my question/concern is this. in these situations all a woman has to say is she was pushed or slapped and the guy is going to jail, weather they did it or not, and women know this. I have no doubt that in any domestic violence situation the 2 parties should be separated. but it seems to me both are involved and culpable. how can blame and consequence be placed on just one? shouldn't both spend the night in jail? if you take away the stereotypical views of domestic violence (men are physically stronger, women need to be protected) why is it that authorities should cater to the women involved? because in my mind, i have no doubt, that IN MOST CASES they are just as guilty of some sort of mental, emotional, or physical violence.

Ron Artest and crazy behavior go hand in hand like PB&J (peanut butter and jelly), Kool-Aid and sugar, Ham and Burger! I feel what you're saying about domestic violence and women. It's a crazy situation when it's domestic violence and a woman is involved. Granted, it's never cool to hit a woman, but to be real, there are some women who are so bad, wild, and crazy, they will make you lose your mind and they are the ones that make domestic violence an OK thing to do. Police tend to cater more to the woman because we are physically stronger and are likely to do a whole lot more than a woman could ever dream to do. It's a messed up thing.
Like i said before, Ron Artest is crazy! He needs to be locked up somewhere or worse, kicked out of the NBA. I thought when he started the brawl in my hometown, he would've at least learned the first time, but he didn't. He needs to just accept the fact that no matter where he goes, trouble is bound to follow him. He is an NBA player. He has no business making albums that are laced with profanity! The kids that come to the NBA games to cheer you on are the same ones who probably buy his music and get it force fed to them! (It didn't even make a sound on the charts so it really don't matter!)
It's like Chris Rock said: There's no reason to ever hit a woman.....Yeah, right! They say just don't do it? There's a reason to kick a old man down a flight of stairs, but just don't do it! In my eyes, just because you are a woman, it doesn't mean that you are above getting your azz beat! There's a method to the madness. I feel like if you have a legitimate reason to do it, then so be it. But if you are the type of man to beat your woman for some insane, crazy, and non-confrontational reason, then you really have some serious issues! When it comes to crazy women who put men in a crazy position to the point where we have to shake, hit, or beat you just to get your attention (because some of you really don't get it half the time), they are the ones with issues!
"Issues" is one letter short of "tissues!" Don't forget that! Women with issues tend to breed tissues!!!!!!

You're surprised? Yeah, she supposedly said some things that got under Ron's skin, but he needs to be able to control his anger. There is evidence that he slapped her in the face and grabbed her and threw her to the ground a few times. I know a correctional officer that works at Placer County Jail and said that Ron had a huge bite mark on his forearm. So, yeah, both parties were involved in domestic violence, be it mental, emotional or physical. I don't think Artest was innocent, but they need to hear both sides of the story before the Kings suspend him indefinitely. He's forever gonna be known as a wife beater, but if he can help the Kings win, more power to him. Just leave the pyscho b*tch.

to the Detroit pistons fan, he didn't start the brawl. Yeah he caused the foul. when Ben Wallace came up to him he didn't want to fight. The fans at the pistons arena started once they wanted to throw cups and bottles and want to go fight Ron artest and his team. You need to stop saying that artest started the fight even though he did lose his anger.
He just have short temper and can blow anytime. Yeah that's crazy but he isn't the one who ll fight if given a reason. his wife probably said something really bad that ticked him off. She probably got mad and called the police. And probably over-exaggerate the story a little bit.
To the person who say he should go to jail or get kicked out the NBA. You cant say that because theres guys who gets arrested, fail drug test, and keeps gettin arrested is still in the league. He has short temper and playing a very emotional game. Every play loose their cools, check out my bot Melo. He blows a fuse and goes off. stay off artest dick, if you want him kick out, everybody should get kicked out because everybody loose their cool and get in trouble. All you pistons fan all you have for him is that he fouled Ben Wallace and dont wont to admit that the fans started it.

first of all, no person right here knows precisely what occurred. it is in many situations the guy's fault because of the fact society is stuffed with male bashers. Artest does have a checkered previous yet till the great info are revealed no person yet those in contact knows what occurred. Being kicked off the team is a knee-jerk reaction and baseless. harmless till shown to blame may be the call. Secondly, how contradictory the NBA is. The NBA (study: David Stern) is motive on protecting the league a kin friendly entertainment ecosystem. advantageous. however the Hip-Hop way of existence is perversly intertwined in many of the promoting and marketing of the sport. have you ever seen a rap video at the instant? Gangster mentality, obsession with fabric products, degrading women and portraying them as intercourse products-in basic terms, blatent brush aside with authority, glorfying drug use and different offender habit. additionally, many of the gamers have became their bodies right into a tattoo artist's playground. what type of message are they sending by skill of having 'ink' throughout their bodies alongside with their neck? to no longer point out the way gamers react after a sturdy play. somewhat of smiling and guffawing they are going to reveal an aggressive habit by skill of hitting one yet another on the top, lower back, chest, or reveal an offended, contorted facial features, grunt, and yell. is that this a thank you to teach which you're having a sturdy time? No ask your self little ones are snarled at the instant. Or, like Kevin Garnett does, shout obscenities after a sturdy play. 'mom Fu*ker' has have been given to be his maximum favourite and everyday expletive. 'Sh*t' is is 2d favourite after he makes a bad play. i like ok.G.'s interest and how plenty he supplies to the community yet how is he able to escape with each and all the profanity he makes use of throughout the sport? i'm able to hearken to it of course on television yet no-one has ever stated a be conscious approximately it. seems that the almight greenback has paid this off. Yeah, I stated it! If the NBA needs to create a helpful, healthful ecosystem they could initiate cleansing up the rubbish and be in charge and consistant of their presentation of their interest.
