Chris Brown police report!

[Cyth The Raccoon]

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.
