LIKE PIGS AT A TROUGH

I held back from further commenting on the Chrianna situation because at the end of the day like I have been telling people around me and it's way to many stories swirling around them as is adding fuel to the fire just makes the flame grow especially since:

1. we don't know what happened fact wise.
2. this is a private matter that is acerbated by the media and gossip bloggers alike.
3. if anyone has to resort to violence then they both should be put up on assault charges, and that's for anyone that uses violence against a person unless it's self defense.
4. both of parties involved need some kind of counseling and personal time to themselves.

But with that said there comes the slippery slope, if a woman jumps in a mans face and proceeds to hit him then is he not justified in hitting her back or is he just supposed to take it because the laws are on the woman's side? If it were two people of the same sex fighting it would be considered assault. If a woman on the street was hit by a man she didn't know it would be considered battery. If a woman hits a man she doesn't know it's considered assault but when the two people are in what is considered a relationship type situation then the terms are paired with domestic and then victim rights go out the window.

Suddenly her face is plastered on every two bit gossip blog, regular blog, even black planet. For a full week that's all I have seen and still see on some blogs is the picture purchased by TMZ trotted out like a show pony. Not because it's tragic and we should rally behind this young woman, for the simple fact that this is something sensational to exploit. Something to gawk at and shake our heads and bemoan the beast that did this, even though we still don't have any facts on the matter. It's ironic how people are so concerned about Rhianna but the first chance they got to exploit her battered image they did. Where do morals and ethics come in at? When is the line drawn? What about her rights as a victim? Does she not deserve privacy in this matter? If that was your sister, or mother, daughter, cousin, loved one would you have wanted her bruised face used as a platform to advance page hits, and get your name out there in terms of readership? How hard is it for this young woman to clear her mind when she has all these people clamoring at her telling her what she should be doing in this situation and then to force her hand they release her picture world wide. In the mean time Brown hasn't even been to trial yet but already he is guilty, he is all kinds of bastards, and sons of bitches, he is losing endorsement deals, movie posters, his image has taken a public beating. Again I am not justifying I'm just saying already in the peoples public opinion many have already convicted this 18 year old boy and are calling for his blood.

AND THE FACT THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE MISSING IS, WASN'T NAR ONE OF US IN THE CAR, ON THE SIDEWALK, IN THE HOSPITAL, WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO EITHER ONE OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE BUT ALREADY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN SIDES. MINUTES AFTER IT HAPPENED WORLD WIDE IT WAS SAID HE DID IT BECAUSE SHE GAVE HIM HERPES. WITH THE ADVANCE OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB INFO IS SPREAD RAPIDLY AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE ACCURATE IT JUST HAS TO BE SENSATIONAL and the public proceeds to eat it up like pigs at a trough.



It's sad. Instead of just keeping both these troubled young folks in our prayers and offering them encouragement and counseling and just some time for them to reflect and get their spirits together the media is constantly cranking out stories that may or may not be fact, and every time a story is published it is ran with the world is a heartless compassionless place, sad...
