Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
The girl in the R-Kelly video was apparently a willing participant (no evidence of being forced, drugged, etc. -- arguments about whether a 15/16 year-old can make decisions aside, it wasn't something inherently evil). It's still a socially unacceptable thing to do, but a consensual act between two people is a lot different than this case, where a guy gets violent and really crosses the line. And Rhianna is famous -- that's probably the biggest difference. Any number of rappers or actors could beat their no-name girlfriends and it wouldn't attract THIS much attention -- those photos do a lot to rile people up though, and rightfully so.
I love how everyone is all, "oh jeez, that's TERRIBLE" when it was "she gave him herpes, she probably deserved it" early in the thread (even though we KNEW the extent of her injuries from the earliest press stories)... SMH. It was clear that he crossed the line even when everyone was speculating that she started it and/or the herpes BS... unbelievable.

You need to go back through the thread. The Herpes thing broke WAY before the biting, choking and multiple punches were reported. Also this doesnt picture doesnt change the fact that she may have started it. Like I said before I believe both of them. I believe he got a booty call. I believe she flipped out, hit him while he was driving and tossed the keys so that he couldnt find him. I believe he flipped out because of that and beat the crap out of her.
It doesnt make it right that he beat on her but it doesnt mean that she was completely innocent.Comment

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
I wonder why people announce that they're going to stay out of a thread only to keep coming back.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
Right, but the fanbase was already established. It's like Michael Jackson. He wasn't making his best music around the times of his trials but his established fanbase was already so huge, you were bound to have people still support him, especially when there was little evidence.
CB was really just getting started. At this point, CB was around the point of where Usher was in 98-99 when he came out with My Way, with arguably more potential. He has a good sized fanbase, but not as big as what R. Kelly had. Plus as you said, this picture will be a lot more widespread than the R. Kelly tape. When people see this pic in magazines in their grocery stores it will be hard for anyone to get behind him.PS: You guys are great.

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
LOL. I knew this would happen. I think maybe one or two people in this thread said he should teach her a lesson. The debate was about whether there is any instance where a man should hit a woman. Some said there is and some said there isnt.
The Chris Brown situation isnt close to that discussion. He didnt just hit this girl once. He hit her multiple times, bit her and allegely chocked her. I dont think anyone here agrees with that.Concrete evidence/videos pleaseComment

Great point. You are right.Comment

Anyways, looking back I see that I may have generalized a bit too much; heck, vickhalloffame was the guy saying the most stuff so my argument pretty much holds no weight...at all lol.
I knew this would happen too, but at least it keeps things going over here.Comment

I'm not claiming to be some forensic scientist but am I the only who has the slightest thought that this may have been photoshopped?#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
It looks authentic to me, but then again, there are Photoshop masterminds who could make anything look real. Who knows, it's just too bad that this young couple had to be involved. CB was one of my favorite RnB/Pop artists and I would've liked him to have a great career. This incident, at such an early point in his career, will definitely make his road (if there is anymore road) a bumpy one.Comment

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
That's what I was thinking. I mean i'm not saying the picture is fake but usually whenever there are "incidents" involving celebrities and the police, photos are usually available immediately.
Just an interesting thought.#RespectTheCultureComment

And wishing anal rape on someone in prison is pretty sad also. It's ridiculous that has come to be the expectation in our prisons. He deserves whatever punishment he gets, but implicitly condoning that kind of thing doesn't sit right with me. That's not what prisons are for.Comment

Re: R&B Singer Chris Brown Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend Rhianna
Yeah, I was just giving my take on that situation... violence (especially against wome/children) is more of a lasting negative image than something sexual... unless it was an actual little kid or something a la Michael Jackson.
And that photo is not shopped it was taken at the scene by the cop... we'll see the real dirt when the hospital photos get released, because that's when she was all puffed up and bruised. There is an investigation pending on this, so that's prrobably why the photos didn't get released very quickly.Send your Midnight Release weirdo pics/videos to my new website: http://www.peopleofmidnightreleases.com!Comment
