Ray Rice let his lawyer go on the radio and defame his wife like this. That's some shameful sh t right there. pic.twitter.com/C7KjxeHv30

Never mind the NFL. Can we suspend Ray Rice from humanity?

Disturbing: A dozen people who think Ray Rice's fiancee 'had it coming'

What Ray Rice did was disgusting. Equally disgusting are people saying he did it in self defense and she had it coming.

'Cuz abuse is comedy gold': Salon columnist blasted for 'joke' equating Ray Rice and Hobby Lobby

Explain how paying for 16 of 20 types of birth control equals beating on a woman. I'm sure survivors would like to know. Thx. @cjwerleman
— KillerBunnyFooFoo™ (@PolitiBunny) September 8, 2014

Salon has no shame. At all. RT @cjwerleman: If Ray Rice continues to treat women like that, he'll end up running the Hobby Lobby.

Quit pretending to care about women. RT @cjwerleman: If Ray Rice continues to treat women like that, he'll end up running the Hobby Lobby.

Wil Wheaton: Republicans trying to scare Americans about ISIS to sway election

Republicans are spending a lot of effort trying to scare Americans about ISIS. Probably just a coincidence that there's an election soon.
— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) September 8, 2014

@wilw seriously! You mean the heads being chopped off on TV didn't scare you? Maybe it was a Republican behind the head scarf!
— Liz Reilly (@lzreilly) September 9, 2014

@wilw Obviously ISIS is coordinating it's beheadings with the Republicans, because that makes so much sense. #ImaDemocratAndImScaredOfThem
— Robert K. Blair (@Itukanarondanee) September 9, 2014

@wilw Isis is beheading Americans and putting it on YouTube! I don't think it's the Republicans...might want to rethink that statement.
— Lila Jefferson (@JeffersonLila) September 9, 2014

@wilw sometimes, the hive kicks back. Especially when you mockingly politicize genocide.
