…errybody got one!

Well, this is mine. I posted on Chris Brown’s Chrihannagate plea deal yesterday without offering an opinion. That’s cause I needed to really think about it.

My first reaction was to feel sorry for Chris, and I still do. Not because he’s now a convicted felon, and has to do 180 days (8 hrs per) of hard labor – but because that one moment in time will affect him for the rest of his life. Can’t vote. Can’t carry a weapon. Can’t get a real job (as if he needs one, lol). This is major.

Now, I personally believe there is no good reason for a man to hit a woman. None. And though I don’t believe Chris Brown is a serial “woman-beater” YET, I’m guessing it only takes a couple times for it to become a habit. In that sense – the punishment is good for him. Hopefully he won’t raise his hands to another woman.

But it pains me that so many young men don’t understand the long-term consequences of their actions. One moment can change your entire life. That’s why it’s so important to think before you act. There’s always an alternative to violence, and criminal activity.

Yeah, Rihanna may have hit him first – but Chris is the convicted felon now- not Riri. You can’t control someone else’s actions – you can only control yours.

Just think first, ok?
