We can't keep punishing the guy forever. If you treat a man like he's a criminal who will never be able to move past his crimes, it's going to be hard for him to rise above that and actually better himself. People should be allowed a second chance..

(The thing that makes it so hard is that he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. I hope he TRULY got his **** together now.)

Maybe if he made better decisions and picked better people to associate with, then he'd be able to actually focus on bettering himself. He needs to get off social media and get a hold on his own life. He's the one dragging his fans on twitter every album release for not buying enough copies. It's hard to get out of the same cycle when you keep doing the same **** with the same type of people.

Chris actually got some cute sales tbh while he's on twitter crying about people buying his music

Monica might want to consider switching labels because they tried her life with no promo and not restocking the CDs at stores. She needs to make Anchor a single either now or next fall.

I'm not excusing Brown, as he's had multiple legal problems during his music career. However, Rihanna actually started the physical confrontation, as is described in the first link. After she wouldn't stop, Brown turned violent.

That's not a well known fact since reporting on women physically abusing men (which according to the CDC happens 40% of the time, see second link) is politically incorrect. As part of Brown's plea deal, he agreed to drop the assault charges he had filed against Rihanna.

^i've never read that news before it kind of makes sense idk i've always wondered why CB would just hit a woman, he's probably provoked a lot of times and one day he lost it, it's his fault though that he fought back and did damage he can never erase in peoples minds but its unfair that he only gets the blame for the whole thing, just an opinion

The CDC is not a "blog" organization, and the Judiciary website goes into case details mainstream media sites won't. I'll look for other sources about the latter topic later today, as there are others out there.

Sis, he had many chances to get his act together and regain his previous stardom. He refused.

The police account wouldn't have all of the information anyway, and they aren't always accurate either (unfortunately some LEOs lie). More importantly, these reports often leave out any physical assaults on the man from the woman due to the "Man Up" culture. Here are some additional links:


http://gawker.com/5166432/report-rih...-a-misdemeanor
http://poponthepop.com/2009/03/09/tm...s-brown-first/

Also, here is this:

As Chris Brown negotiates a plea deal, the R&B singer is making it known Rihanna struck him first that infamous night in Los Angeles. Why does he think it matters?

Because he's negotiating a plea deal, according to TMZ, and has been charged with two felonies for allegedly beating his girlfriend Rihanna. If she hit him first, his lawyers believe, it's not a felony:

Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown "numerous times" while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman.

Supposedly, this version of events is reflected in the official police report. Floating the story publicly fits perfectly into Brown's dual PR strategy of appearing remorseful even while shifting some blame for the beating to Rihanna.

EDIT: Chris Brown overreacted, there's no doubt about that. However, since I have a good friend who was regularly physically assaulted by a girlfriend, even in front of his children! He called me one night so I could hear what she was doing to him. The day he finally left she destroyed or stole everything he had of worth. And the police refused to file any charges against her ever despite the overwhelming evidence of everything she had done to his body and his property. So that's why I won't put 100% trust in this police report.
