31. I have my brown belt and I'm working towards my black belt. I would never attack another human being, unless they attacked first. With that said. I'd love to date some dumb @ss abuser so he could try that crap on me. I'd used the "Tai otoshi" (body drop) technique and you'd see the change in his attitude in no time at all. I guess my message is that you abuser types best beware. You never know when you're going to run across a women that can break your windpipe with her fingers. Hey Virgil! Want a date???

34. No it should not have happened but why did it?
A close relative of mine went through years of domestic abuse. Physical and mental. He would never lay a hand on her. It was all her. One day he defended himself and got arrested for dv. She also got arrested for dv, Possession of marijuana,and assaulting a police officer. This happened 3 yrs ago.
3 children involved. 1 10yr old,2twin boys 5 yrs old whom she deserted several times, for months at a time.
She now lives with her boyfriend 200+ miles away and has custody of the children 9 months of the year. Oh yeah and she gets child support. Next she plans to get alimony? All of this situation was entirely her fault for real and she gets everything?
Thats equality is'nt it. Justice is blind. It's way past timee to take the blindfold off Lady justice for her to see it is'nt.

35. hey, it is ok to beat women, kill each other , kill police, call all females bitches and ho's..i know it because everyday that music is played out over the open air waves and tells our youth it is ok. Rap music tells us to live for today, to hell with everyone else, and that you are cool and no one else is.money talks and the rest can walk. I dont need no job, my ole lady will work get my bread...the sad thing is we love it, and ENCOURAGE it and women TOLERATE it. Hey rosie, why dont you really get on a subject like that!!!!

we've come a long way babe.

we have come a long way babe.

36. No one can live a perfect life, just cause Lamps is a commentator you all are going to blast him. Let us scortinise your life everytime you get a dui or you cheat on your wife. we dont know the whole situation so you never know what really happend Jim Lampley is a stand up guy with emotions just like any one of us, so less if you were there keep all negative comments to yourselves.To each one of the cops that arrsted him you think havent done that to thier wives or girlfirends you must be out your mind.

37. THIS IS SO FUNNY...how real life looks when its written in legal ee's, or the news mags. it doesnt necessarily paint a real life picture of what happened or more to the point, 'Why'?

...i'm actually a boxer and i DONT hit women nor do i condone it. i dont particularly like jim lampley, but as a fighter there are worse commentators who make me sick to my stomach (i wont even mention names) just sitting there giving their comments, knowing nothing about the fighters their real lives or what goes through their minds, speaking and assumming for them... from the safety of the ringside "the outside"

THE FUNNIEST THING is how this story and the bloggers quick responses reflect THE WORLDS BIGGEST PROBLEM RIGHT NOW (switch on the international news and you'll see) what so many of us do everyday. COMMENT and JUDGE on what we dont really know, without being there, knowing the people personally, or even with the whole story. Then we pass on these ignorant uninfomed, misinformed, views to infect everyone around us (weak enough to listen) like a cancer.

This is kinda why american teenagers are waking up in iraq today wondering how the f*@k they got there.

39. Why is it grown men can only feel big by hurting others. Does this behaviour enhance masculinity? Is it an ego boost? This man needs some serious psychotherapy.

41. Most average people would lose their jobs over a felony......Why do people in the "lime light" get to keep theirs............I don't want my kids looking up to people who can't control their temper.

42. He needs to spend more time in jail. Men just think they can hit women and and pay a fine and get away with we women need stiffer laws on domestic abuse. CUT OFF HIS HANDS SO HE CANT HIT OTHER WOMEN.

44. I'm so grateful for you American women who shilled for me and stood by my side when I was accused of adultry by Gennifer Flowers and many others, sexual abuse of power by Paula Jones, sexual assault by Kathleen Willey, and even rape by Juanita Broadrick.. Lampley, I feel your pain, but you should have been a democrat politician like me. The American women would have defended me if I would have punched Hillary in the nose on the Larry King show.
