Chris Brown Pleads Guilty


Pop singer Chris Brown, plead guilty Monday, to assaulting felony assault, and was sentenced 5 years probation and 6 months community service.

As part of his "stay out of jail" free card, Brown will have to undo his public persona and humble himself, as he cleans up graffiti or trash along the roadsides.

The two were also ordered to stay away from each other.

I say good for Chris Brown. "Man up" to what you've done, take responsibility and face the repercussions. This is the only way in which redemption begins. Oh and Chris stop citing the things that you've seen in the past, i.e. "step father's abuse towards mom", as the cause of your actions. There is the old adage that reminds us of such "Just because your friend jumps off a bridge, doesn't mean you should too."

I am so glad the two were ordered to stay away from each other as part of the judgement. If only this could be somehow applied to each an every relationship in which domestic violence, exists.. (in my virtual world of course) as abuse in all forms,tends to be a vicious, ongoing cycle. And sometimes it takes an individual from the outside to bring it to the attention to those involved, that they are just not meant to be.
