There is no way that you can compare what Metcalf did to what ranger did. Absolutely no way.
Metcalf bashed his pregnant Mrs to kill the unborn baby, are you kidding me?!?! urine idiot if you think the two crimes are comparable.
Also with the Metcalf situation, we know the facts. We KNOW that he did that, that makes him the absolute scum of the earth.
With the Ranger situation, he was most likely provoked (not saying that makes it ok). We all know how guys can be real pricks to rugby players when they see them on a night out. And also, we don't even know if he stomped him out like the victim claims.
I just can't believe you guys see the situations as comparable, like seriously. dafukkk.
All that aside, would love to see Rene wearing the 2 or 4 Jersey for the warriors next season.
Surely managements looked into it right? RIGHT?!
Of course they are comparable.
You have an aggressive attack on another person... you are discussing the
context of what was done, which isn't the point I was making.
If the alleged headstomp took place then in my mind it is an attempt to cause grievous harm to the victim, possibly even kill them... certainly not pre-meditated but still, there is no reason to stomp on someones head unless you are looking to cause massive damage.
The assault on the pregnant woman was, from the accounts I have read, not to kill her but to force her to miscarry the unborn child... distasteful yes, but incomparable?
You have to take emotion out of the equation and look at the facts of the case, as best as we know, because that's the only way to be objective ... and I do feel they can be compared on this basis.
I do feel that the Metcalf assault is more distateful, absolutely. This is due to it's callousness and rarity as an act of a father against his partner/child and the Ranger case is a far more common type of assault, but this is not an acceptable reason in my mind to lessen it's severity or to go 'easy' on him at all, certainly not when considering him for a signing.
The Ranger stuff is alleged at this time and it's important that he is given a chance to defend himself in court.
