Few in the Panthers organization know Ray Rice as well as Dickson.Shortly after the Ravens cut their running back Monday afternoon, Panthers players were filtering back into the locker room after meetings. And while Dickson didn’t want to go into much detail with his opinions, he agreed his former organization had just one option.”Baltimore handled it right, they had to do something. Knowing (owner) Steve Bisciotti, knowing (head coach John) Harbaugh, knowing everybody there, it forced a hand,” Dickson said. “(Rice) made his own decision.”Of course, the dark cloud of a domestic violence case currently hangs over the Panthers, but they’ve made it clear nothing will be said or done until the legal process for defensive end Greg Hardy plays out.And while Hardy still has the right to a jury trial, the video of Rice punching his future wife was all anyone needed to see to make a judgment.”You want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s been a good kid. He made a bad decision and now we’re here,” Dickson said.”I’ve got children, I’ve got a wife, I’ve got sisters. So I feel bad for them. As a human being, you never want to see anything happen. It just makes you as a person want to do things better.”

This is a tough situation. Lot of gray area in the Hardy case…blanket rules can they fix this?

There is never an excuse for interpersonal violence in a loving relationship. Period.

“You want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s been a good kid. He made a bad decision but who cares when everybody thinks they have anything to do with it! Who is really being hurt and who was hurt from the beginning…NOBODY should be hitting anybody at all. NOBODY CAN JUDGE ANYBODY IN THIS BECAUSE IT IS THEIR LIFE PERIOD! Bill Voth you don’t have a stake in it but it is a story! Hardy or Ray Rice it is their lives to choose how to live them.
