Steve's barking: Ray Rice and mob justice

I've been told that the US is a nation of laws. Really!
Ray Rice hit his future wife in the elevator in a casino in Atlantic City and knocked her out.
He then dragged her out the elevator.
He didn't deny hitting her when approached by hotel security.
Atlantic City and New Jersey are not prosecuting him.
Every body knows that Ray Rice struck his then fiance now wife.
The NFL his employers regulator took away 2 games from him as punishment.*
The media said that wasn't enough.
They demanded Ray Rices head.
A video surfaced from the security camera in the elevator that show the whole incident and it seemed horrific.
The commissioner of the NFL now could now accommodate the mob and gave Ray Rice an indefinite suspension. His team the Ravens cut him. Most likely because of the mob his sneaker company and the computer company fired him.
Sports writers and most sports commentators are piling on. They who said that a two game suspension was not enough are now placated.
I can't keep but wounder why these same sport writers/ commentators didn't demand that Mike Tyson and Frank Mayweather not be aloud to fight after it was revealed that they were in physical domestic disputes. Were were the outcries saying that Keyshawn Johnson should be punished and barred from TV for a long period of time. Jason Kidd's punishment for domestic violence, being traded to the Nets, was punishment enough. Was that the thinking of our holier then thou writers and commentators.
Were were the boob tube commentators when Solace Knowles attacked JZ in the elevator. Ban her from recording for six months. Are they sexist.

 I wounder if Ray Rice's biggest sin was being recorded by security cameras.
Janay Rice, victim of domestic violence, double victim because her husband probably will have a hard time finding work. Triple victim of the media.

At no time do I think that those mentioned should be punished by their companies, what I am saying is that mob punishment is wrong and can be very picky.

* If suspention isn't spelled out in the contract or the collective bargining agreement, then it's wrong.
