Me?
Sitting on my couch at 6pm on Feb 23 when the six o'clock news came on, I went into a state of shock. There was Ruffins picture and the story to follow. I was in a funeral mode during the UWM game and trying to guess what went wrong. In a case like this, you want the truth, but sometimes the truth takes a little while to become clear.
What happen to Ruffin opened my eyes to the debate that I had with my friends and family. How easy would it be for me or anyone else to get in trouble like Ruffin did, just because someone has a grudge or intentions to ruin all that you have? Well, it wouldn't be hard at all and people all the time go through what Ruffin has gone through, without all of the facts. It is a shame that it took my favorite athlete to wake up and understand how careful you have to be out there in the real world. Domestic abuse, dispute, etc.... happens alot more than it should. There is a fair share of uglyness in the world and those people must be dealt with according. But I have started to realize how easy it would be for me to get into trouble, even though I would never strike a human out of anger, only self defense, but there are those out there with bad intentions. This law is tricky, watch your back.
One final thing...the police have a job to do. Procedure stated that an arrest had to take place. I applaud a vast majority of you for not jumping on their backs. Again, this is one tricky debate and I feel that a lot of you argued it from all angles and were very honorable about the facts and honorable to each other.
