Most men were taught from an early age not to ever hit women, under any circumstances, however, the top comment, as voted by Youtube viewers, says the video depicting Ray Rice knocking out his wife in an elevator was clearly self-defence..

Does the media have it all wrong when judging the public’s outrage over the violent incident?

“this got overblown so hard imo. she hit him first, so he retaliates lightly, she comes back for more, and he just knocks her out. how the is that not self defense?”

 
Talk radio is currently crucifying Ray while the NFL’s Ravens posted the following tweet that seemingly, (and creepily,) blames wifey..

What do you think? Self-defense or wife beater?
