Remember when it wasn't really an illegal act to beat your wife?

All I can say is want some bring some. If you hit, expect to get hit back. What is he supposed to do just let her hit on him and do nothing? I don't think so. The same for her. If he has been hitting on her she should've went up side his head with a baseball bat, golf club, beer bottle, brick, iron skillet, metal pipe, large wrench, piece of wood, tire iron, whatever she could get her hands on. Then leave him and his mess alone. A person do only what you allow them to do to you. <br... [ More ]

On what planet, True Critic? Maybe things have changed dramatically, but in 1997 I let a man I knew stay with me after he lost his job & got evicted. I told him he could sleep on my couch for a short time until he found a room somewhere and he could pay me back when he got another job. (I fed him too) He said he had a buddy who was out of town, but he'd be back in a few days. Story is too long, but the Reader's Digest version is this. (Keep in mind he didn't live here or pay rent. I was j... [ More ]

Looking at that picture and assuming that is a true picture of the victim, he should be in jail. There is no doubt that this is a true case of assault/battery. But then again, if she says she threw the first punch? Chris Brown was charged with a misdemeanor. I also agree that it should simply fall under the "normal" charge of assault/battery and doesn't need a category or new law of its own. The problem I have with domestic violence is that cops arrest when th... [ More ]

I don't follow the celebrity gossip and I don't know if this photo is genuine. However, in any case of domestic violence, the attacker (male or female) needs to be prosecuted for assault. I hate the words "domestic violence" because it reduces the severity of the crime as if it's something private between a man & a woman. If someone who beats his wife went to the supermarket and punched a stranger, he would be arrested for assault. Being married or dating a violent person doesn't make you any less of a victim. Personally, it's something I can't relate to, since I'd castrate any man who raised his hand to me, but this needs to STOP.... [ More ]

The Los Angeles police department (LAPD) has confirmed it will start an internal investigation after a picture of a battered and bruised Rihanna was leaked online.

As previously reported, TMZ.com somehow obtained a photograph of the Umbrella singer after her alleged attack by Chris Brown. (Pictured right)

The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence, the LAPD said in a statement on Thursday (February 19).

A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.

Brown, 20, was arrested on a charge of making criminal threats on February 8th after an altercation with an unnamed woman, believed to be Rihanna, in Los Angeles.

Brown has since issued a statement saying he is sorry and saddened by the incident. The Forever star also stated he s seeking counseling from his church pastor.

Although Rihanna told police this incident wasn't the first time Brown had been physically abusive towards her, according to the police source, she may have thrown the first punch on this occasion.
