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.
