Chris Brown accused of falsifying community service

 I chose these article because its amazing how “celebrities” are not even willing to do community service knowing they have a lot to give. As many of us know, Chris Brown got in a big problem with the prosecutor four years after he attacked Rihanna and earned five years of probation. He’s deal was unusual than the rest when he pleaded guilty to assaulting his pop singer girlfriend. The deal allowed him to complete his court-ordered community service in Virginia under the personal supervision of Richmond Police Chief Bryan Norwood. “The Los Angeles district attorney alleged in a motion filed Tuesday that Brown's mother supervised most of it, and investigators found evidence it was never done.”

           Chris Brown's feeling of entitlement is already enhanced by his celebrity status. If the authorities overseeing this case do not respond to his obvious disrespect of authority, the system will have failed. To recycle the original sentence is absurd considering his act of violence against the singer Rihanna should have been categorized as attempted murder. The attack on this woman was not a trivial act, yet the punishment imposed seemed to reflect that his violent behavior was not a concern. He has, since the imposing of this soft sentence, displayed behaviors that indicate he is capable of acts similar to those which brought him to beat his girlfriend so badly that she was barely recognizable and landed her in the hospital. If the authorities continue to succumb to this man's wealth and celebrity then they will be equally culpable in any of Mr Brown's future acts of violence.


I hope he gets what he deserves, and is prosecuted to the fullest extent. Just because you are "above the law"
does not make it OK. But since money talks in our society, I doubt he will ever learn from his mistakes

  1. We have not a single person to blame, but society as a whole. Period. His Superiority Complex is ONLY enhanced by everyday individuals. We can easily ask ourselves, "Does LeBron James deserve MILLIONS of dollars because he can dunk a ball?" I agree with your intention, but you can't be against Chris Brown without being against the hundreds of professional sports players or entertainers.
