I love how you use the word 'mistake'
A mistake is breaking a glass by accident or writing a word wrong or locking yourself out of your house
A mistake is not beating your girlfriend senseless and nearly rendering her unconcious (he applied pressure to her carotid arteries in her neck) biting her and choking her

I don't care how much you hate Rihanna or how much she bothers you, no woman deserves to be hurt like that. And the way you dismiss what happened as a 'mistake' is insensitive and just disgusting

He's not going to change. This is Chris Brown and the recent incidents that he's been involved in prove just that.

Why the hell are you acting like this was some kind of "argument" and both have the same level of involvement? He tried to KILL her. If she wants to speak about it, sing about it, write about it, profit off it, she has EVERY RIGHT to. Nothing happened to him, he TRIED TO KILL HER. He wasn't affected by it, he wasn't attacked or assaulted and no one tried to violently murder him.

If you're talking about a massive decline in popularity and public shaming then that's what he and every other man who assaults women DESERVES. That's not some injustice or tragic thing that we should feel sorry for.

True, because Sean Penn wasn't blacklisted for what he did to Madonna the way Chris Brown was. Which shows an element of racism for the extreme punishment of CB. And yes Rih was the victim, but Chris has every right to talk about the incident too, as he was the abuser. Yall acting like Chris Brown is Ike Turner or something. This was a one time incident, that never happened again.smh

an action or judgment that is wrong.

What in the hell are you talking about? I don't hate Rihanna at all -- you're ignorant and basing your remark on some dumb ass stan war ****. Clearly Chris' actions were WRONG, which is precisely the definition of a mistake. And I also stated it was terrible and deplorable which you conveniently skipped over. I also stating a man beating a woman isn't in the least bit normal or something that should be dismissed which you conveniently missed as well. Oh and I also recognized that he hasn't shown much progress since then which is another point you oh so conveniently skipped past.

If you want to split hairs like a pressed bitch over a single word and the fact that I'm a Beyonce fan go right ahead.

One in four women will be assaulted in their lifetimes so everyone posting in this thread knows a "female who was abused".

He's so out of touch with reality.

He says that, but his actions show otherwise. I still feel like Chris has yet to fully mature. He still has a long way to go.

!!!

Half the people in here defending Chris Brown probably have a mother, aunt, or sister that's been beaten by a man, and they would never know.

Rihanna decided to forgive him, which is her business. But never for a second should we act like that absolves him of any responsibility. He's gotten exactly what he deserves in my opinion.

Ugh I hate him.

He is a disgusting human being, why the **** is he complaining about Community Service like he shouldn't be locked away in a penitentiary. He should be grateful that he is still able to live a free life.

Fist is always trying to make himself seem like the victim, he needs to stop playing the ''black male'' card cause that **** is dated. He is the WORST.

Did he seriously call his deserved community service "more of a power trip for the DA"?

You don't need to know an abuse victim personally to know that domestic abuse is vile.

Chris was a dog for this the public should not forgive someone abusing a woman and then what makes it worst he was bashing her name at at a time

I forgive myself for all the ****** things I've ever done to people. It's all good.

What you meant to say was; It takes an adult to express genuine remorse, make amends for their indiscretions, and ask for, but not expect, forgiveness.
