Chris Brown plead not guily, last Monday, to his 2 felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. I have to admit I really expected a plea agreement and I am a little intrigued as to how he plans to get out of this one. First of all the pictures say it loud and clear, second, Rihanna has said that she will testify if called. I really can’t imagine what kind of stacked jury they would need to get a not guilty. And I know Brown is hoping his fame will keep him out of jail, but he should be worried about taking responsiblity for his actions and becoming a better man. If he would have beat a stranger like that he would be in jail for sure, so why is it any different because she was his girlfriend? And I am so glad that Rihanna is still spending time away from him. Hopefully it stays that way and she moves on to bigger and better. Women everywhere need to know that no guy deserves a second chance. Let him fix himself and then come sweep you off your feet…. because a man that hits a woman is a man with bigger issues then you want to deal with.
I don’t care who the guy is, if he hits you then he doesn’t deserve you. period.
And remember:
Before I was with hubbs, I was in an abusive relationship. He choked me on several occasions, kicked me, slammed me against walls, the works… and still to this day I don’t know why I hung around as long as I did. Maybe I thought it was better to have a jackass then nobody at all or maybe I thought it was my fault (I am kinda difficult) but I stayed around for about 4 months of it before I realized I am WAY better then that (and him). And every woman should know she is better then that.

This is certainly a soft spot for me. I think that abusing a woman is one of the worst things a human being can do. I just want to say thanks for bringing some gravity to a celebrity situation.
the verdict is guilty!!!
yayyyyyyyyyy
