Joe Mixon or Dalvin Cook?
(04-28-2017, 04:35 PM)Luvnit2 Wrote: I have 3 daughters and 5 granddaughters so yes I know I would handle things my way (personally) if someone assaulted one of them. But, I also taught my kids to  never provoke anything, never start anything or every lay their hands on anyone first. So, in the spirit of your post, I would pissed at both my daughter for slapping and pushing someone starting the altercation physically and pissed the guy went from 10 to 100 in a few seconds.

But this moral debate can get tiresome as things you or others find intolerable, I may find tolerable and vice versa. I don't see people go off on anyone convicted of a DUI for example. You see, I find that 10 times worse than a guy punching a woman with 1 vicious strike. I will argue this due to the fact I lost one of my best friends who while sitting next to me died at the age of 15 as a result of a 4th time drunk driver. Mike died and 4 of us spent weeks and in some cases months recovering from physical injuries. The nightmares and the mental abuse we suffered is a part of our lives forever. None us ever recovered form the trauma cause by a drunk driver.

Both are acts that could kill or harm someone, but one used a 3500 LB. vehicle as the weapon, one used a fist. One the person recovered in time the other 1 dead and 4 scarred for life. Yet, I don'y hear the outcry to ban guys convicted of a DUI and no it does not matter if they killed anyone, they could have. Those who drive drunk and get away with it are as big a criminal as this 18 year old who did something outrageous, yet no outcry because like you said most have never lost a loved one, a great friend to a drunk driver so to those, it is not that big a deal. To me, a drunk driver is the lowest of life and my opinion will never change. I don't have to respect or be a friend to a Bengal's player so I have no skin in their personal lives so it is easy for me to separate the 2 because the hatred I have inside for drink drivers in the end would destroy me if I let it, I won't.

We are all responsible for our actions and I am in know way arguing this act by Mixon is not despicable, but many acts are despicable, yet crickets on those by some.

Great point and sorry to hear about that. In 2008 I was hit by a 6x drunk driver who had no license but somehow had insurance. We were passing through the intersection near Walmart in Hamilton Ohio. He went straight through a red light and plowed into my friend's vehicle at 50 mph, causing my friends car to spin out several times and land in a ditch. I wasn't wearing a seat belt and I wound up flying around inside the car and wound up in the back passenger seat with my leg over the driver's shoulder.

Fortunately, I only got a concussion and a bad back/neck out of it, while my friend wound up having shoulder surgery because my head basically broke his shoulder.

Long story short, I'm sorry to hear you lost your friend, and I agree that DUI arrests aren't taken seriously enough by fans.
