Unwarranted Attack
Drexel Green, 27, had an important appointment: he was scheduled to meet his bail bondsman to turn himself in on a warrant for violating his probation for domestic violence. Authorities say he attacked his girlfriend in December of 2009.
Green allegedly became angry with his girlfriend on February 11th when she didn't wake him up in time for the appointment, and punched her in the face. He then reportedly forced her into her car, dropped her off at a friend's house and took her car to meet his bondsman. Authorities say she was left with a bleeding, swollen mouth. Green denied the attack.
Drexel Green was arrested in Moon Lake, Florida, and charged with domestic violence and violating his probation. He is being held without bail.
We'll respect the gal as soon as she makes it clear she's Green's ex-girlfriend.

I'm unclear on the reason for this guy's inclusion in the MSM. Yeah, he sounds like a bastard, but from his photo, he looks completely normal.

Could you please reconsider making comments such as this.
Domestic violence is a complex issue which isn't as simple as "if you don't like it, leave". It can be tempting to blame the victim of domestic violence for the situation they are in, but most times the person is in the situation because they do not have the personal agency, financial or emotional independence, or other necessary support to leave. As outsiders we may think "I would have left years ago", but after supporting a friend through the (years long) process of leaving an abusive partner I can see that women in these situations need our support even when we don't understand, not our ridicule.

I see no ridicule here, I see a statement of what it would take to gain respect: make the tough decision to get out after multiple instances of abuse. -rc

I would take the step of saying that I think it is a matter of "if you don't like it leave." No one should put up with being beaten. EVER! Some women seem to find themselves in pattern of moving from one abusive partner to another. It is not her FAULT for being beaten, but it is her fault if she keeps doing it over and over.
