continued.... Now he has to spend the next 5 years with the media watching him like a hawk. He wont be able to pass gas the wrong way or they will report it. I think he should have took the 180 days jail time to get it completely over with. He probably wouldnt have served the whole time anyway. People think he got off easy but according to experts his sentence will not be easy. She better hope she doesnt feel a backlash from this outcome.

I am a little upset that he accepted a plea deal but i guess its whats best for him. I think she should have been made to take the stand and answer some questions. I mean the media has made this all one sided and there are always two sides to every story. I mean they have left it at "Chris Brown pleads guilty to beating popstar Rihanna" and I know thats so one sided. I am sure that if she hadnt went crazy in the car and let her emotions get the best of her then we wouldnt be talking or reading about it now. I dont know what happened in that car that night that made him snapped but he apparently had had enough. We may never know. I dont condone domestic violence of any kind man or woman. I just feel like the awareness shouldnt have been solely focused on a man against a woman rather than on both scenerios because these young women need to know its not ok to hit as well especially when its not warranted.

theres a lot of young men thats sharp as they come, and knows what they want out of life and like tray says so well theres a lot of silly girls out there and you have got to know how to control your feelings and know when to just walk away, and riri didi get justice 5 years and that 180 days is a lot for chris to have to keep up with, and usually people learns from these types of things you either learn or you will keep being quick tempered and doing stupid things, and now its all over but the shouting. all of this could have been avoided and its called called self control, and if you can't stand the heat men and women get out of the kitchen, chris is not a child he has developed into a man and his age has nothing to do with it he just let the devil play the hell out of him and now its a lesson learned and if the relation was a bad one he should have left running .

I"m sorry, but I don't care how old you are, it does not give you permission to hit a female...if she so called "hit him all through the relationship" why didn't HE be the bigger so called man and leave....he's 19, that's hardly a child...there are still these crazy females out here with a ghetto mentality that don't know any better...Go head on and get your black eye...but let's stop condoning that it's okay...

These are some of the stupidest responses I have seen. Chris Brown and Rihanna are BOTH idiots. The fact that he doesn't get jail time just encourages other punks to beat the crap out of their girlfriends because they can probably get away with it! If he wasn't a celebrity, he'd be in jail, and you ALL know this! His career is over...people who have COMMON SENSE won't be a fan of a domestic abuser!

Lelyn - you couldn't have said it any better. Good luck to these young people

@dlbl, how can you use Jesus in one sentence and spit hate in the next? Be careful how you want unhealty actions to happened to others as it may come up you or your family. Judge yee as you should be judged.

That was so unfair to Chris !! Rihanna was suppose to Testify! What happened that cause Riri to get special l treatment and not testify? I totally agree with Lelyn. I'm glad Cb didn't get any jail time, however I pray to God he will report to his probation Officer and not fail to do so for the next 5 years. (tears).........God help and forgive me but, I hate Rihanna! That Rain Man demon attacked Chris through Rihanna, but God still had the final say,although his sentence is still harsh he didn't get any jail time. I'm praying for Chris Brown. You'll make it Cb. Chris Brown fan forever.

The BOY was 19 years old. He made a mistake and knocked the heck out of her after she spent their whole relationship hitting on him. Now she is galavanting around like she some kind of Icon. She makes me sick and so does every other idiot who has become Chris's judge and jury. Both of these individuals where children and should be encouraged to make a change for the better and supported. Chris does not have a history of domestic violence and is not a 40 year old man who keeps making the same mistake. Stop trying to lynch him and lets the CHILD. Dang people. I am sure Jesus had nothing to do with him having anything sticking to him. Because Jesus is a forgiving God that says let he without sin cast the first stone. So give your thanks to someone else not Christ. Chris we are praying for both of you and we are sure that you will come back with avengance and set the standard for those who may or may not have taken the path that you took mistakenly. God bless.

THANK YOU JESUS!! something happened to him that will stick to him for a while. He's a criminal, not a hero or example to children. He deserved this and worse to happen to him! Good work Judge for handing out some semblance of justice, even if RiRi didn't want it---shame on her!!
