News Josh Reynolds DV accusation (charges dropped 26/2/20)

[Vee]

People, they're the worst. Not a fan.

 

[Timmah]

Well, you've asked people to "stop" several times - which comes with a degree of imprimatur being the Editor.

Looking back over the entire thread, when this first broke last week, I along with several other users suggested people stop normalising the behaviour Reynolds displayed in the video - that's an opinion, like others who shared the same opinion. If you are to go back and read those posts from Wed/Thu last week, that issue has been argued back and forward ad nauseum.

But for what it's worth, my role is completely irrelevant to my opinion, as it would be with any moderator or administrator from @Willow and @Twizzle all the way down to any joe bloggs who joined yesterday.

I'm challenging your position that there is no excuse in him talking in that manner, by asking you to think of a hypothetical. I'm saying there might be, there might not be justification - it depends on the context - which I don't know.

I'm not excusing the behaviour. But I'm also not judging him or her either at this stage. I agree the language is awful. But then again, people are awful.

"Excusing" and "judging" all seem to be conflating different things.

To be crystal clear, I believe Reynolds' actions in the video are unacceptable, regardless of context, and that the behaviour he displays is not normal.

That doesn't mean that there weren't circumstances that led him to act that way, or that the woman involved is either innocent or guilty, or that it does or doesn't extrapolate out to his current DV case.

It actually sounds like you agree with me, for the most part.

Yeah Josh has No right to raise his voice at her

 

[The unknown]

But but but Josh is a thug! He should have acted like a normal human being

 

[Wizardman]

Backs up what I said earlier....she more than played a part in this mess

Yeah Josh has No right to raise his voice at her

Yes how dare he raise his voice at such an angel

 

[Front-Rower]

Yes how dare he raise his voice at such an angel

Angels such as Timmah and Bazal would have sat her down at the round table and had hearty discussion with her

 

[Perth Red]

She must have got her looks from her dad!

She must have got her looks from her dad!

but at least mum has a moral compass by the sounds of it

Franklin, as we were saying, there’s two sides to every coin. Those who jumped on him were urged to be a bit more circumspect until all the details were out.

pity they chose character assassination instead of restraint

If you were an aspiring adult entertainer and needed a stage name, those aliases wouldn’t disappoint.

 

[typicalfan]

That is some truely horrendous stuff.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah Josh has No right to raise his voice at her

That seems like very normal behaviour.........

Pretty much this. As with all these cases let them play out then judge with all the facts

Well I certainly wouldn't have screamed in her face that she was a f**ken dog merkin.

I guess some haven't the intelligence to understand that Reynolds being a verbally abusive f**kwit doesn't mean she's an angel either. It curious that some still want to excuse his behaviour.

 

[nick87]

Her behaviour doesnt excuse his.
His beaviour doesnt excuse hers.

each person in responsible and will be judged according to their behaviour. Pretty simple. As i said from the onset, nothing excuses his behaviour.
And ill say again, based on that report, nothing excuses her behaviour.

Josh Reynolds isnt exonerated by this.

I actually find your stance on this extremely commendable, even though I don’t entirely agree.

Let’s just hope you never find yourself in a situation similar to the one Reynolds (allegedly) did

 

[unforgiven]

This is still only another side of the story, the full details will not be established until this has been dealt with in court. I think there is enough grey in this story to justify the Wests Tigers and NRL standing by Josh in this situation though!

No one wins in this it is a bad situation all round but does show it isn’t a normal situation
