Once again, it’s been proven that if you’re famous, you’re above the law.
Despite the overwhelming proof — graphic photographs, eyewitness statements, and the fact that Rihanna was going to take the stand and tell her story — Chris Brown was allowed to plead guilty, escaping with no more than a slap on the wrist that amounts to five years’ probation and some community service.
Woo-frakking-hoo.
He beat the crap out of his girlfriend, bashing her head against the windows in the car in which they were arguing, and threatened to kill her. How does that warrant probation and community service?
Where is the justice due Rihanna and women like her who suffer horrendous domestic abuse every single day? No wonder very few speak out and come forward — the court system and society have proven that domestic abuse is no big deal.
The excuse that Rihanna provoked the argument has already been thrown around. Big deal. So what if she did? Chris Brown didn’t have a scratch on him. Compared to the photos of what he did to her? How is that deserved? How is his behavior justified?
I am sick to death of the liberal mindset that leaks into our judicial system. He had a bad childhood, so that’s why he’s a serial killer. His father abused him, so naturally, he abuses others. He was exposed to pornography at a young age, and so of course he was going to emerge as a violent offender.
Where is personal responsibility in all of this? John Douglas, who founded the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit and has interviewed dozens of notorious criminals and serial killers, including Bundy, Dahmer, and the like, has said that in all of his years examining violent offenders, less than 1% didn’t have the mental capacity to understand what they were doing.
Chris Brown has circumvented the justice system. He has evaded personal responsibility. During his appearance in court, he uttered one word — “guilty.” He didn’t offer an explanation and more importantly, he didn’t even bother apologizing for his actions.
Disgusting.
