Although he beat the shit out of Rihanna because she dared to ask him about a woman he was texting, Chris Brown was sentenced to 180 days of community service in his home state of Virginia where he will, as punishment, be picking up trash, pulling weeds and washing fire trucks.
TMZ Reports:
He gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault — he pled guilty. He’ll get supervised probation. He’ll have to come back to court every three months. He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program. This is interesting … the judge said if Brown and Rihanna are at the same public events, the 50-yard stay away turns into 10 yards. The stay away order lasts 5 years. The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.” If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison. Rihanna is in the courthouse but never entered the courtroom. So Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel. When Brown left the courtroom … Rihanna walked in the courtroom. The judge explained the deal to her. The judge is telling Rihanna about the protective order.
Wow. Thanks again California judicial system. I’m sure a woman beater will learn his lesson by doing chores I did when I was 10. Man, it’s a good thing he didn’t kill her then you’d really have to punish him to the fullest extent of California law. Like sentencing him to watch a scary movie or going to bed without ice cream. That’ll teach him!!
In one of his first public statements since choking out Rihanna because she wanted to know who he was texting, Chris Brown put out this video the other day to tell everybody about his new album that’s coming out. Oh, and towards the end, he manages to call everybody a hater and claims that he isn’t a monster. The more I think about it, he’s probably right. There’s no way a monster would do what he did. Monsters do things like play with little boys in wolf costumes or try to send Boo back through her door.
Rihanna has yet to comment publicly about the night her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown did this to her, but she has recorded a new single with Kanye and Lady GaGa (hear it on Kanyes website here or download it here), and if Brown has any illusions about Ri taking him back this should promptly put an end to that. Lyrics about buying flowers for his funeral don’t leave much room for interpretation.
You comin with those corny lines
Can’t live without me
I’ll get some flowers for the day that you are buried
No, people make mistakes
But I just think your ass is fake
Only thing I want from you, is for you to (stay away)
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around musical revenge. What is this, “West Side Story”? Are we gonna sing catchy songs about trouble or is Kanye gonna remember that he’s a rapper and shoot that punk in his his nuts. Remember in “A Mighty Wind” when that guy said, “There had been abuse in my family, but it was mostly musical in nature”? This is that, yet in real life for some reason. Not so scary, is it?
(Sexy Update – Wow, he punches girls in the face AND wears panties on his head. Chris Brown must be training for the Tough Guy Olympics.)
Most assume that the pictures showing Rihanna sort-of naked and then really naked were leaked by Chris Brown, but (brace yourself) Mr. Wonderful says it wasn’t him. According to the Sun UK…
Sources had accused Brown of releasing the intimate pics in anger after snaps of her battered face appeared online.
However a representative told Essence.com: “This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna or anybody else for that matter.”
It may be a false statement but it’s not all that defamatory. The dude punched a girl in the face for 20 minutes. People aren’t really on the fence about that kind of thing. Let’s say you need a score of 10 to be a jackass. Punching a girl in the face 50 times gets you a perfect 10. Leaking naked pictures of a faceless girl gets you another 3 points, but guess what? You were a jackass anyway. It’d be like calling a Hitler a litterbug. Doesn’t really change things one way or another.
Chris Browns attorney was in court this morning attempting to have the case against his client thrown out because details have been leaked to the public. Details such as, “he punched her in the left eye with his right hand (then) continued to punch her. The assault caused her mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.” His attorney said…
“Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct.”
I think he means that evidence photo. And if so his request seems pretty reasonable. If the jury pool sees a picture after Brown repeatedly punched Rihanna in the face, they may get the impression that Brown repeatedly punched Rihanna in the face. I don’t like the idea of the public seeing so-called “evidence” in trials. How about we give Chris a true-false test to see if he did it, or throw him in a well and see if he floats.
