I read a thread on Fark today with a load of morons saying that Rihanna deserves to be beaten up and she is asking for it and making jokes about what songs she'll do next "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" etc...

She's supposed to be a role model apparently and measure her response with all due consideration for how it will impact on others and how the media will spin it. Apparently she isnt allowed to be a human being, who has been brutalised and bullied and battered by a disgusting coward, and who might actually be suffering and in pain.

Maybe people should just give her some space to get her life back on track after this abuse.

Brown is entitled to a fair trial, and if he's found guilty then he should face the music. People like Dlish might consider that choking a 110 lbs women, smashing her head against a car window and repeatedly punching her is some kind of "petty" matter... a small thing to be dealt with by a local magistrate (am I quoting you corretly?). I am glad to say that most people find that kind of opinion ridiculous and offensive and disgraceful, and want to see real justice done. Five years bottom weight if he pleads guilty straight away, and he might get a chance to grovel in front of a parole board and get out 18 months if he keeps his head down on the inside.
