Not defending JC, but the author of this article is an idiot. The 5 reasons made are all explained from one side of the story and out of context. It's like they just read headlines of JC controversies.
Especially #4, it sounds like he was driving down a busy highway with a drink in his hand.

All 3 are like pro-athletics; they're still at their prime and it would make no sense for them to retire when you can get a new contact for a new team and make millions.
And the TG live shows are back on but it'll be rebranded and will not feature the Stig.
Too bad it isn't about flipping cars to lose money, I'm really good at that.

Jeremy Clarkson has vowed to return to television with a new car show, admitting that he has felt bored and lost after being dropped by the BBC for punching a colleague in the face.
In his column in The Sunday Times, the presenter revealed that his doctor found a possibly cancerous lump on his tongue just days before he attacked Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon – a move which ultimately precipitated his downfall as host of the popular motoring show.
"Two days before the 'fracas', I'd been told, sternly, by my doctor that the lump on my tongue was probably cancer and that I must get it checked out immediately," he wrote. "But I couldn't do that. We were in the middle of a Top Gear series. And Top Gear always came first."
Clarkson revealed the extent of his sadness at having been dropped from the show, describing the loss of Top Gear as "a black hole at the centre of my heart" adding that "the hole it's left behind seems to stretch for eternity".
The presenter also confirmed what many media watchers have suspected: that he is planning to return with a new car show. He said "I have lost my baby but I shall create another. I don't know who the other parent will be or what the baby will be like, but I cannot sit around any more organising my photograph albums."
Clarkson revealed that a combination of pressures had built up around him, including the breakdown of his marriage and the death of his mother as well as the possible cancer diagnosis. He said the day he attacked his colleague had been the "most stressful day I had ever had in 27 years at the BBC".
In the immediate aftermath, Clarkson admitted that "for a moment" he had considered ending his television career. But after the news settled in he decided: "Let's stop being silly and pick up the pieces and start again."
He said that he was not yet sure whether he would work with his former co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond on the new project: "I just know I'm going to do another car show."
According to the Daily Mirror, Clarkson "put his troubles behind him" at the weekend, visiting Istanbul for the opening of a private members club alongside a host of other celebrities including Nick Grimshaw, Professor Green, Paloma Faith and Eddie Redmayne.
"Clarkson appeared to put his sacking and nasty assault on TV producer Oisin Tymon behind him as he went away," the paper reports, "also skipping the country as he opened up about the Top Gear fracas for the first time."
Other commentators appeared more sympathetic. Grace Dent, writing in The Independent, says the decision was "incredibly brave" but has simply offered the British media "more meat and bones for them to feast upon".
"From anyone else this would have been startlingly honest, brave and trailblazing for other men suffering anxieties," Dent wrote, "but instead it was viewed by many as excuse-making and dishonest."
Dent added: "Right now, there is no room for redemption or a smattering of empathy for Jeremy Clarkson. He should, it seems, go and sit on the naughty step and stay schtum about the crippling emotional detritus of divorce, or how a man feels when he loses his mother."
I have a feeling that Jeremy Clarkson will come out of this as the sympathetic figure because it seems like everyone in England is piling on him. seriously what did he do? he didn't kill dogs, or rape, or anything we consider serious. He punched another man, not a woman, because he was hungry. Yes, Clarkson is a bit of a douche but c'mon, there's even a commercial about this exact situation. No excuses for hitting a coworker but at the end of the day, he didn't do anything that he will be reviled for like Bill Cosby.

he had food, it just wasn't warm/hot
and yeah violence is completely fine...i could forgive him for punching Piers Morgan (due to the circumstances)
and Cosby hasn't done anything...he's just been accused by some women (1 who was successful in getting a cash settlement)
