t-time

I have intentionally not spoken out on the whole Chris Brown and Rihanna debacle, but with Brown’s statement I feel like I can (safely) say a litle something. First Brown’s statement:

Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writing under my name are frauds.

So this is one of those non-apologies. It’s basically saying, “Yeah I did it, but for legal reasons I’m not going into any detail about what happened and will only offer a vague apology.”

Basically I think this statement is a bunch of B.S. and seeking counseling from his  ..”pasto… mother and…other loved ones” doesn’t cut it. His ass needs professional help. That’s the only way to deal with the rage that would make your beat a woman bad enough to send her to the hospital. And obviusly since he admits that he wanted to kill his ste-dad for the abuse he reigned down on his mother, he needs counseling for all the issues that stem form that as well.

I sincerely hopes he gets the helps he deserves, but this tepid aology doesn’t let him off the hook. While I’m not sure jail time is the answer, he definitely deserves more than just a slap on hte wrist.
