I’ve received a ton of emails from people wondering why I haven’t written anything about the Chris Brown interview. In response I say this…
Firstly, I’m a first year law student and may not be able to find the time every week to write the way I was previously. Secondly, I didn’t write about Chris Brown and Rihanna’s story at all because I thought that my views on the case may be a little different than popular opinion.
Yes, I watched the interview and outside of thinking it was a waste of a perfectly good study time, I really didn’t have many thoughts on it. The interview itself was less than interesting. Chris seemed nervous and failed to complete a single sentence. His mom seemed very emotional, but also a little dumb. His lawyer was probably the most persuasive of the people involved in the interview, attempting to reassure his fans that he is not a monster, but rather a 19 year old boy who made a horrible mistake.
I’m of the opinion that this situation, though unfortunately it played out in the public eye, is completely and totally between Chris Brown, Rihanna and whoever they decided to share it with. Do I think that Chris was right? No. Not at all. It is never okay to do physical harm to another human being. Do I think he deserves a chance to get back into our good graces? To that my answer is a resounding Y-E-S!
I think of all of the many stupid things I did when I was 19. [[the tattoos, the nights out, the college dormitory antics...]] Shoot, I think of some of the stupid things I’ve done in the past year. And I wonder if it would be right for anyone to judge me based on things that I did while I was young and dumb, oftentimes taking action based on emotion rather than common sense.
So, I guess what I’m saying that I’m in little Breezy’s corner.
