The cranium-cracking crooner totally skated today on beating up his girlfriend:
Chris Brown will do six months of “community labor” but no time behind bars for assaulting the pop star Rihanna under the terms of a plea agreement reached this afternoon…
Under the agreement, Brown, 20, will serve five years’ probation and take a year-long domestic violence prevention class. L.A. County Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg also ordered him to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, 21, for the next five years.
And now, a statement from Chris Brown (NOTE: NOT ACTUALLY CHRIS BROWN):
Yo, what up. We got, it’s all about, know what I’m sayin’. It’s like I ain’t even, y’know. Thing is, for real, yo. I gotta take a class and aythang. And I can’t hit Rihanna no more. Not like hit hit, know what I mean, but I can’t even, like, hit that. Which ain’t seem fair or nuh-in. But keep hatin’, haters. New album droppin’ soon, gonna be tight like Dolemite, check it out, y’all. Peace.

Chris Orange-jumpsuit. Hilarious!
LOL loved the statement! and i’m reeeeally bummed he won’t go to prison
It does seem that the only time d.v. perps ever go to jail is when they kill their victim. There is a major flaw in the system.
Yet. Wait ’til the CD tanks, and he gets all pissed, and beats up someone else. It’s not like this will be an isolated incident. I don’t say that with any glee (except for the part about the CD tanking); it’s just the way abusers are. Rich, poor, black, white…one thing abusers all have in common is that they abuse, and they keep doing it, no matter how many ridiculous little make-work classes and programs you herd them into.
I don’t give a rat’s ass why they do it (or rather, which sob story they tell, a story which strangely only comes out when the dicksmack is facing jail time). Read Gavin deBecker’s “The Gift of Fear”. He grew up in HIDEOUS circumstances and didn’t turn out like that, and he’s not alone.
Where’s Clint Eastwood, when you need him?
Get off my lawn!
So if I beat my girl friend up I can use the Chris Brown defence and get off scott free?? Some how I think not. I thought domestic violence or assault in the first degree all had mandatory sentences in every state??
Not sure, Aleric. Is there some way you can claim that anyone who objects to your violence is a racist? That should get you off. So to speak.
He got off to lightly. Damn the system.
For those of us who live in LA, I’m going to cruise the freeway systems on the week ends and look for the guys in the orange jumpsuits. CB should be one of those guys, and when I find him…commence bombing and straffing run.
**Rotten veggies will be the ordanance of choice**
RACISM! RACISM! SWEDE IS A RACIST! Except, the opposite of that.
Every article I’ve seen on this shows Rihanna by Brown’s side, which…could not have helped. It’s like watching someone buy toys and treats for their tapeworm.
But let’s not forget, if you download and share music you’ll be out $2 million! Ah, I love blind justice.
How did I miss that CB is only 20?
Daniel, that’s his IQ.
She’s been really weird (read, masochistic) about all this, IMNSHO. She didn’t even get a restraining order against him? Somehow it seems as if she thinks that it’s OK behavior, or that she deserved it. Ick.
Jannah, you’re spot-on. Rihanna could’ve been a true champion for women, the likes of which her (my) generation hasn’t yet seen. Instead we get an essential reaffirmation that hitting women is okay because they don’t get mad or fight back.

I must be an old fuddy duddy…I couldn’t understand a word of his “statement”.
He’s a totally manufactured product, no one that stupid sounding could get to be a famous person talking like that.
Simon, you started off good with Chris’s “statement”, but then it became too coherent midway, and I was beginning to understand things. If it was the real douchebag’s statement he wouldn’t have made any sense at all.
Daniel, I absolutely agree with you about Rihanna. She had an opportunity to do a lot of good, especially considering that so many abusers suck their partners into a weird alternate reality formed of their own sad minds. People in abusive relationships have a hard time realizing that there are ways out…and she just pretty much reinforced that belief.
Actually, if you want to hear something REALLY sad, I taught back when this whole thing happened, and MANY of my female students thought Rihanna deserved it for mouthing off or throwing his car keys or getting mad. It was appalling. That was probably one of the saddest days of my life in terms of realizing what a mess people are becoming. I’ve seen domestic violence from BOTH genders, and either way it’s sad…but to hear OTHER PEOPLE saying that so and so had it coming…I don’t even know how to respond to that.
I want to join in the rotten vegetable flinging, please. I will use my mind powers to participate, since I am nowhere near LA.
(As a note, none of my male students made comments similar to those made by the females. They thought that treating a woman in such a way was inexcusable. Actually, overall, they had more respect for women, including their classmates and me as their teacher, than the women had for their own gender.)
/rant.
@Pearce: Yeah, I’ve seen that too, although it was among adults, not (presumably younger) students. My theory is that while boys and men may in many instances be brought up with an idea of honor or chivalry, a lot of girls and women aren’t, so they don’t see an abuser as cowardly or dishonorable. (Note that I didn’t say “all”, in either case.)
I’m raising my sons to understand that only a pitiful excuse for a male ever hits a woman, that a man who does so gets zero respect, and that they had BETTER look for mates who show them respect from the get-go. My husband and I don’t ever want them dishing out abuse, but neither do we want them to take it.
If girls are brought up with the idea that the only way for them to self-actualize is to win the affections of a guy, then how in heck can they show any respect for their fellow females in general, to say nothing of respecting women in abusive relationships?
I once knew a girl who chose to stay in an abusive relationship and develop her boyfriend’s heroin habit because to her twisted mind that was somehow better than being alone. It took OD’ing to knock some sense into her head and leave that sh*thead.
And people wonder why I rule my daughter’s media exposure with an iron fist and, like Beige, preach respect (how to get it and give it) ad nauseum.
I think we women lose respect for our own gender when the sensible ones (like the Deceiver readers) watch how stupid so many are… women want to blame men for their problems when they’re the ones letting men do this kind of stuff. It’s annoying.
TELL it, Kristine.
