I see Ray Rice as innocent because after all he was “unarmed” just like Mike & Trayvon.
He could not possibly have posed a threat to her.
Oh! wait ... he knocked her out...
Knocking people out is just a kids' game. Many young, innocent children from poor neglected underprivileged neighborhoods play the knockout game because they don't have access to other pastimes like polo, scuba diving, equestrian activities, jet setting, and so on.
It's just a cultural thing, rooted in an unjust society.
