1. Private matter, my ass. You're a criminal.

2. Oh no, he didn't...

A "private matter" is when I have to run to the store for some Gold Bond powder. This is by no means private. Let the trial begin.

Some will say, "It was only a shove." When you're pushing someone to the ground with the intent that the fall is going to cause injury, that's more than just a shove.

3. Weiler's wife struck her head?

Brings back the unfortunate recent events regarding Natasha Richardson.

I guess Weiler should be thankful his wife wasn't seriously injured in her fall. What a creep. She should dump his sorry ass, these things never go away without help, they just get worse. :(

4. Will he get the same sweet deal I bet Chris Brown will?

And I wonder if his wife will refuse to testify like Rhianna.

5. Beating people is not a private matter

It is assault regardless if it your wife or a stranger.

6. I wonder

if PUMA Lite (The New Agenda) will start demanding his resignation before any trial?
