Rihanna Left With "Horrific" Injuries

[waterballoon]

Well, whether it's alleged or not... it's just so strange why Chris would even need to leave the 'crime scene' if he didn't do anything wrong? Like if he's really not guilty, he should/could have just stayed in the car or somewhere around there. Leaving the scene only makes it more suspicious.

Also, if he's scarred by his childhood, then he should have got together with a much more milder woman. And besides, even if Rihanna really did slap/hit him first, I don't think it's necessary to 'self-defend' yourself and make the other person end up with a split lip and all those bruises?

But it's good that he's undergoing counseling now. I really hope both Chris and Rihanna have better lives after they break up (if they're not breaking up then um, best of luck)...

I'm not saying that his actions are completely justfied. Generally, my view is if Rihanna did physically touch him first, it comes across less abusive and more of defence. I'm saying defence because who knows, Rihanna could have started punching him or anything harmful. Chris could have thought she would start doing that and defended himself. In that respect, the way he 'defended' himself is horrific and over kill. There are ways of stopping someone from hurting without you causing the injuries we're being told about. Just saying depending on who hit who first my view changes.

I understand what you mean, with thinking that is actions would be more on the 'defensive' side than the 'offensive' side. But still, to me, self-defense in the form of inflicting physical pain on someone else is only at the very least acceptable, if the self-defense person was facing the attacker in a life-threatening situation.

And I honestly highly doubt that Rihanna would be able, or rather, was causing any life-threatening acts to Chris Brown.

But of course, we don't know yet, exactly, who hit who first and all that... so perhaps time would tell.

But for now, whatever that happens, my guts tell me Chris would be more severely punished, at least in the eyes of the law, just because Rihanna is a woman.
