"Jermain Taylor Arrested, Allegedly Punched a Woman in Face"

Fake news! Taylor and Paulie Malignaggi never fought each other

He definitely needs some jail time and a mental health evaluation while in custody. He seems to have lost all impulse control and a brain injury is the likely culprit. Perhaps he can be put on a medication that can help him down the road.

It's becoming common practice now to report these incidents with tremendous bias - with the exception of the legally requisite prefix 'alleged'.

What do we know about the woman involved? If Taylor is running around the hood playing up, then what kind of women do we expect he'd be associating with?

Disclaimer: I'm in no way justifying, advocating or excusing violence except in extreme matters of self-defence.

It just seems every time I turn on the T.V, more and more, I hear the words 'misogynist', or stories that paint an over-simplified narrative of 'men are perpetrators', and 'women are victims'.
I'm friggin sick to death of this expanding bandwagon of rubbish.

You can no longer call a woman's actions into question or offer a criticism, even if it's done with respect- without some rabid woman yelling out 'Misogynist!'.

I ventured onto a forum the other day, and they have taken to banning comments from ANY 'MRM'. (Men's rights movements'.

There is such a wide spectrum of different men's groups that this is not just prejudiced, discrimination and censorship, it's fanatical.

End of sermon. Don't worry Jermain, just because the press got a second-hand story then fed it here doesn't mean that what is reported is a representation of reality or the context.

I cringe every time I see a Jermain headline like this. Hope to God he's able to get some help before it's too late. Just a sad situation all around.

Wish taylor the best of luck he traded in his brain health for our entertainment hell of a trade off.

I don’t understand why they keep letting him go every time this happens. The man clearly isn’t himself, needs help and has needed help for at least 5 years now. Somebody should have stepped in by now

[Aware]

Taylor definitely has CTE. It is very sad.

[Scopedog]

Send him to prison or the loony bin, I don't really care which. He's obviously not fit to be around other people.

Known Jermain many years & it’s not a brain injury causing these behaviors.
This man was let off the hook soooo many times while he was relevant that it’s disturbing.
It is widely believed that he brutally beat a news anchor to death, but was never charged.
This is his karma for thinking he can get away with whatever he wants.

I feel like this is deja vu
