Tiger Upper Cut: The Rihana Story


I don’t condone violence. But truth of the matter is, we all have limits.

I’ve had 1x insane abusive gf before. But that’s immaturity and the stupid need to win arguments that leads to pushing someone into a corner. People can and WILL snap. When they do, expect “out-of-character” behavior. It’s psychology.

ST is a stupid medium. Most of the reporters are poor excuses of journalistic integrity. But honestly, I agree with SD- Joanne Lee was calling a spade a spade.

If you’ve never reached breaking point before- Be thankful for God’s blessings. If you have- then you probably know the fury you are capable of unleashing and the consequences of said actions.

Rihana’s bf was an idiot. He went overboard. But we all know how to push buttons. Some of us push them better than others. Emotional abuse is abuse too and to be honest, the times where the ex threw steel implements at my head, I look back on hindsight and agree that I was being a real jerk for arguing my point rather than looking at things from her perspective.

In her eyes, she probably felt cornered. What we really looking out for is whether it’s a cycle of repetitive and meaningless violence.

Rather than pretend we’re saintly examples of Christ-like/Buddha-level patience, we really have to come to a consensus that we have tolerance levels, some less than others and we really need to be showing people how to manage those levels to prevent more occurences, rather than a blanket condemnation.
