The most interesting thing about this episode is the power of video surveillance. In the past no one would have seen Rice pulling his unconscious fiance out of the elevator, we only would have read about or heard about a "domestic violence" incident and the suspension probably wouldn't have been a huge issue. BUT seeing the surveillance video and having it shown all over the news and internet created a sensation - seeing domestic violence is much more powerful than hearing about it.
The commish makes new rules, everyone is sorta cool, then video of the actual punch comes out. The video changes none of the facts - he hit his fiance and knocked her out. But again seeing it is so much more powerful that people treat it as new evidence and Rice is kicked off his team and effectively out of the league.
The power of video in our new surveilled society....will have some positive affects but I wonder about the flip side.

this is just one big example of emotional-irrational thinking, sheep/lemming behavior, and mob justice
i'm VERY concerned with our society's recent proclivity towards mob justice (on the heels of emotional-irrational thinking)
