Rule #1 You don't hit a woman or throw them to the ground - especially a teenage girl.

Rule #2 If you think of scenarios where it might have been ok, see Rule 1.

Now I understand how Penn State fans are the way they are, after reading some responses here.

why is it different because it's a girl? Some of the worst kids I've seen are 15 year old girls.

See rule 1.

 

[tarheelhusker]

Do not take the bait. Do not hit women!

Some of the worst adults I've seen are grown men who beat up women.

Agreed. I don't condone beating women. They are scumbags. I condone disciplining your kids as needed. And some women who want to act like a man and throw punches like a man should expect that some guys will treat them like a man.

When "disciplining" your kid for not doing dishes results in a black eye, torn clothes and being thrown around the room, it is no longer discipline.

I didn't read anywhere where the daughter acted like a man and threw punches. So I assume you are talking in generalities there.

Although I am pretty sure I can subdue and de-escalate any scenario where a woman comes at me swinging without punching her in the face or anywhere else.

But you all do what you gotta do. I'm good living outside the confines of the county jail.

Just throwing this out there. Bo Jackson's mom used to beat his ass with an extension cord or a switch from a willow tree because he freely admits he was a bad kid who ran wild with no father figure. He also stated that without his mom keeping his ass in line he would be dead or in jail. So would this be different if Ahman slapped his son instead of daughter? Also...should Bo's mom have been arrested and charged with a felony??

He also was arrested in a 2005 domestic violence charge, if you remember.(ahman green)

 

[CheeseRunza]

Yes. Different if it is a 15 year old son.

I think the statute of limitations is expired on Bo's mom.

Why would it be different if it were a 15 year old son? Is it somehow less egregious to physically abuse a son?

 

[GeauxBigRed]

why are people using a scenario when a random hypothetical woman is attacking you or your family to justify someone beating the shit of of their 15 year old daughter for not doing the dishes?

If a 15 year old girl is trying to punch you and you feel the only way to protect yourself is to punch them in the face, you are not a man.

Abuse is abuse, but if you don't think it would be viewed differently if it's a 15 year old boy, you live in a different world than I do.

Ahman sounds like he has anger issues and was in the wrong.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

I wonder what people here think of the opening credits of The Wild Wild West.

 

[CheeseRunza]

Abuse is abuse, but if you don't think it would be viewed differently if it's a 15 year old boy, you live in a different world than I do.

You are right, it would probably be viewed differently, but I don't think it should be. If we are all created equal under the eyes of the law and equal in human dignity, than gender shouldn't matter and the crime is equally heinous regardless of the gender, race, etc. of perpetrator and the victim. It is certainly wise and admirable to want to protect women in our society, however I think it can be harmful to view them as weaker and inferior, which is what is inferred when we view crimes against them as somehow worse than identical crimes against men.

 

[huskerfan830]

While I appreciate the old school notions of chivalry and manly restraint I'm not sure that they are applicable in our society.

Husbands, Fathers, Sons and Brothers have a right and duty to be men...even...manly men.

You see a woman slapping your kids? Be a father and beat the s**t out of her.

Some chick ruffing up your wife? Be a husband and administer a righteous beat down preferably with your sons if you have them.

Lady slapping around mom in the park? Ass kicking time.

A woman's vagina should not protect them from justice.

Anything else is sexism...and we wouldn't want that.

Go Blue!

Addition - Sons treating mom like ****. Fathers, auto-correct them.

 

[artguy68]

This board has reached a new low. Parenting can be horribly difficult, but being nostalgic about the good old days of whipping and beating is utterly ridiculous. Stop it.

 

[dinglefritz]

I agree but that doesn't answer the question. That said, I heard years ago that Ahman had an issue with a woman in Green Bay so this isn't his first offense. I think that one got swept under the rug.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Child abuse is a difficult topic for me to address. I was a subject of it for many years and I have an opinion. I will admit I have a particularly biased opinion on stories such as this.

I will say it's disappointing to hear a childhood hero is in this situation. But, my heart is with his kids. I hope for the best outcome here for his family.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

I hope if it's true he grows from it, because kids deserve much better than that crap.

 

[HuskerDana]

Just to add a little levity to this thread and the whole "it's never ok to hit a woman". Daniel Tosh once made a joke about that..saying..."Why does every subject have to be so black or white in this Mickey mouse country"? If I come home and the wife has drowned 2 of my kids and she's getting ready to dunk the third..is it ok to pop her then?? For the record, I've never hit a woman even though one crazy one popped me and she had it coming. Every situation is not just black or white. Shades of grey many times.

Wtf.....sorry, but this is a pretty dumb comparison. A woman killing her children in comparison to a teenage girl not doing dishes? Wow.

It was a joke. Wasn't comparing.

Over my head....missed the joke....my bad.

 

[donahues17]

Kind of messed up for a cop to say that in my opinion.

Not in my opinion. They get called to these crap calls all the time due to out of control kids. Its nice as a parent to know what I can do without getting arrsted myself. The court system is a f'ing joke. He didnt want to tkae her son to jail as the court system wint di anything about it anyways. Especialmy since it was his 1st offense. Well actually its not his first offense but the gas station felt sorry for him the time before that and didnt want to call the cops. So his 3rd offense would have had to be his 1st offense but he got mouthy with the cop so he went to jail on the 2nd time. He ended up having to do 8 hrs community service and write an essay. Got off pretty easy.

My friend has a 13 year old daughter and she is psycho and yells and screams and throws things and slaps and hits my friend and has done it to my brother.

She is a piece of sh!t and just acting like her mom did when she was a young teenager.

When a 13 year old girl yells are the top of her lungs and slaps you and hits you and degrades you, what do you do?

When your kids refuse to do anything you ask or tell them to do, what do you do?

These are things that have very few right answers, but many wrong answers. If someone attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself.

Many times, these things happen because the parent did not parent the teenager when the kid was young. Respect should be taught at a young age.

Kids should be scared of their parents... to a point. Not physically scared per se. But they need to understand who the parents are and who the kid is.

Unfortunately, kids that were parented correctly when young still can turn out like this... that's why parenting is hard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was physically abused by my father growing up and I was deathly scared of him until he had cancer in 2011. Now I just hate him like I always have.

My brother was taken down into the pasture and my dad beat the sh!t out of him. This was threatened to me before.
I have been punched in the face by him, had my ass kicked by him millions of times, been sitting in the front seat of the pickup by him and had him punch me repeatedly, been grabbed by the throat and pressed up against a wall by him, etc etc etc.

I was not a bad kid. My father was just overly abusive.

With that in mind, I believe in spanking and discipline that fits the crime, but not punching, beating, etc. If a female attacks a male, he has the right to defend himself.

My wife used to be a social worker to help families get their kids back and she was never safe in these homes as the kids literally could get away with murder before something would be done to stop them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With all of that said...

If Ahman's step daughter physically pushed him and slapped him, he may do it back, but only to defend himself and only with enough force needed to defend himself.
If someone of lesser power attacks you, you do not have the right to knock the living sh!t out of them unless it is needed to save your life.

No matter what an NFL player should never strike a teenage girl.
