The fact that the music industry awards him, lets him perform, plays his music on the radio... enrages me. I've dealt with domestic abuse myself and I just wonder if those who are giving him this free pass haven't experienced it, and therefore don't understand how sickening it is to watch Chris Brown strut around like he owns the place?

It's not the first time people have turned a blind eye: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Sean Connery, Nick Carter, and Nicholas Cage all beat their wives. Eminem made career out of beating his wife. Usually when celebs beat their wives, it's not a big deal and it should be, which is why many people are controversially wondering about the fuss surrounding Chris Brown. If I could have one wish on this topic, it'd be that the Chris Brown thing were less about Chris Brown and more about promoting awareness of domestic abuse.

I wish it could be about promoting awareness, too. Sadly, in our world of wanting to know every last dirty detail about our "celebrities" the reason they're in the news gets over shadowed by the pure drama and spectacle of the Hollywood media circus. And people like Chris Brown, who are in the headlines for breaking the law and/or just being generally terrible people, appear to simply enjoy the attention. They don't care how they get the attention, they're just happy to have it... Like a loud toddler, "LOOK AT ME! MOMMY! LOOK AT ME! MOMMY!"

Yes. We get it, Chris Brown. You're a big man. Oooooo, look at how much you don't care about what people think. With your nasty-ass (poorly done) neck tattoo. You're sooooooo hard and such a big mean thug. *sigh*
