Chris Brown police report!

Most celebrity records are populated entirely with marijuana possession and the like, rather than felony assault. You're right in that plenty of celebs get more or less a free pass on their crimes (because $$MONEY$$ and $TATU$) but I don't see why that makes Brown's scumbaggery less important or noteworthy.

Besides, the reason this is noteworthy isn't just because Chris Brown turned Rihanna's face into bread dough, it's noteworthy because he's shown zero guilt or regret three years later. It would have been one thing if he seemed genuinely guilty or shamed or sorrowful or w/e, maybe did some speaking tours or something, but all he's done is get super pissy at anyone who brings it up when he isn't jetskiing over the piles of money people have given him since. He's shown multiple times that he's impulsive, sometimes dangerously, and yet people are okay with him at the grammys?

disturbing indeed

if you don't think there's a serious problem with "Chris Brown you can punch me in the face now, and it'd still be sexy! " then gtfo

So much unjustified hate in this thread. Everyone is going to have their own opinions; some will care because they either sympathize with the woman because this is something they are familiar with, or because they genuinely feel sympathy for the woman. Others won't care because in the newspaper you can find much worse things happening every minute of everyday, and the only real reason this is seeing the spotlight is because it's a celebrity.

Celebrities are people, too. Some are disturbed/corrupt, some are kind. Everytime something small (or moderate) happens with a celebrity, the world doesn't need to hear about it. Pedophiles, rapists, murderers; if you watch the news/read the newspaper, you probably hear about 10 cases each day on average. Not to mention all the stuff that never gets printed. Eventually, stuff like this won't phase you (as badly).

Let everyone have their opinion, and there's no reason to call someone "dumb" or "ignorant" over something like this, it's seriously all based on the person and their life experience. In my opinion, this is a sad story, but being beaten isn't nearly as bad as the 1000+ other crimes that get committed on a daily basis.

[Syhto]

for some reason the people on FFR don't understand this concept. ask reincarnate if he understands that concept. he's proclaimed by many as the smartest person on this forum and he doesn't even understand that concept. sorry bro.

and i disagree entirely that celebrities are people just like you and me. they are cash cows. i don't shit dollar bills from my mouth.

So you're saying that these are reasonable responses to a woman being assaulted and having her life threatened?

If that's truly how you feel, you have to be the most "dumb" or "ignorant" person on this forum.

Ugh I can only take so much stupidity here, guys.

Hey, what do you know, you're right. There aren't that many people around here that I have a lot of respect for. This thread is a pretty good example of why.

you're kind of missing the point I was trying to drive at imo, which is that Chris Brown has shown zero remorse and yet tries to play the "A MAN CAN'T MAKE A MISTAKE" card three years later. People are sticking up for this guy, no joke.

I still can't believe you posted this I keep rereading it like maybe the fortieth time through I'll realize it's a joke post or something but no

I mean, are you actually blaming Rihanna for getting beaten by her boyfriend or did you just lose control of your internal filter for a minute there and it just sounds like you're blaming her?

[Hazelle]

You can't force someone to have the "right" emotion or reaction to this.

All you can do is argue senselessly and at the end of the day, you haven't moved a goddamn centimeter in either direction.

Give it a rest guys, seriously.

[Calcium Deposit]

For those of you who don't care:

Nobody cares if you don't care. If you don't care then show it by not posting.

Not to pull the "my shit stinks better than yours" rant, but maybe you should lower your standards. All of you.

[Trogdor!!!!]

Cool thread.

[Bahamut-X]

Can't say I know all that much about Chris Brown, but the leniency of that punishment is appalling. A guy goes and beats a woman senseless, to the point where she's probably fearing for her life, and all he gets is a few months community service and a 5 year probation? What the hell, stick this ****er in jail for awhile at least.

[gnr61]

o____O bahamut outta nowhere

[i love you]

^

Like seriously damn lmao

@Bahamut: I agree with you. The judicial system is so fucced up and pretty much anyone with a lot of money could get away with a ton a shit.

[Marshmellie]

I read this on tumblr. I was extremely disturbed...

[All_That_Chaz]

I think people on the internet are apathetic about such appalling domestic abuse cases because if they got all uppity and emotional every time they read something like this, they'd lose their minds. Remember Darfur? I was on the board of a college political organization when that was going on and many of my colleagues and members of the group couldn't even think about anything else. Apathy allows people to cope with all the garbage in the world. For whatever reason, just how apathetic you are has become somewhat of a pissing contest. Like... the less you care, the cooler you are. Or something.

That said, whoever this Chris Brown fellow is should probably go to jail for a while, if this police report is true. I hope the young woman is alright.
