Defendant Says Robert Champion Wanted To Be Hazed
"If I have a problem with Chris Brown, I got a problem with Chris Brown. I don't agree with what he did and that's that. ... We're all flawed human beings. All a person can do is apologize. That's it, what can we say? You know everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. It happens."

I guess Jay-Z should say that, especially since he was caught on camera mushing a lady in South Africa, I emailed the video to friends because I was shocked,because of all the things he supposedly said about Rihanna, and I liked Him as a rapper, but now my feelings about the man are a little mixed, How can you say those things and then something like this pops up on the internet? I wasa told by my cousin that he supposedly staged the thing, but WHY would he do that , in light of all thats happened with RIhanna? SMFH

and JZ is who that his opinion matters? The problem I am having is with these sissy media types acting as if what JZ likes has a impact on the world. The media is pushing this as if JZ words will influence the world's opinion of chris, now Gay-Z is a "Rap Mogul?" who created that sissy title?

Am I the only person who remembers when Jay-Z mushed Dee from Word Up Magazine in the face. How convenient he wants say he doesn't agree with what Chris did when he himself has placed his hand on a woman before.

EXCUSES,EXCUSES,EXCUSES....THATS ALL THIS YOUNG GENERATION HAS TODAY!! FIRST OF ALL, CHRIS B. GREW UP IN A FAMILY OF DRAMA, WITH A SINGLE MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER AND THE MEN WHO WERE IN THERE LIVES PROBABLY DID THE SAME THING TO THEM. KIDS DO WHAT THEY SEE...ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD CAN NOT BUY
YOU MORALS,MATURITY OR CLASS. THATS WHY MOST YOUNGSTERS FROM THAT CHRIS B.& RHIANA GENERATION HAS TO WEAR IT ON THEM, BUT WHEN THINGS GET TIGHT IN THAT CORNER, THEY RESULT BACK TO WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST AND RESULTS ARE THE SAME. YEH, HE MAY BE SORRY NOW! BUT ALL THE WHILE HE WAS STRIKING HER, HIS INTENTION WAS TO DO GREAT BODILY HARM,THAT IS ONE LESS CHARGE THAN MURDER!OH HE'S SORRY ALRIGHT,HE BETTER BE GLAD THEY DIDN'T LOCK HIS NON POTTY-TRAINED A?? UP FOR GOOD. APPARANTLY HE IS STILL PEING IN THE BED! UNFORTUNATLY THIS WILL BE THE GENERATION THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION IN THE MENTAL HEALTH AREA, BECAUSE OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE UPLINE, WHETHER IT WAS ALCOHOL,DRUGS,DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,INCEST,DEPRESSION,..ALL THAT PLAYS A PART. SO..ANYONE WONDERING WHAT IS THE UP AND COMMING PROFFESSION TO GET INTO? IT IS MENTAL BEHAVORIAL HEALTH!! AND I AM SERIOUS!!

Beating somebody up when you're angry is never the right thing to do. You can apologize as much as you want, but that does not make it right. You've got to pay some sort of a price for bad behavior. I think Chris is paying his price. I can't listen to him anymore without thinking... He beats up on girls....

Well,all I can say is that I hope Chris does not beat another woman half the death or try to push her out a car while he is driving.He is probably relieved that he did not succeed in pushing her out a moving vehicle,because it would have killed her depending oh how fast the car was going.Or maybe someone driving behind him could have smashed her to death.Or ,I guess his big old fist hitting up against her face was simply a mistake,he did not mean to beat her so bad that she had to go to the hospital.I guess he could not control his fist.Who am I to judge,I was not one getting beat,my face is perfectly fine.Anyhow Chris I am glad that you did not have to say you were sorry in a orange suit,speaking to your loyal fans through bars.But like you said, it was a mistake.I just hope that next time you decide to make another mistake like that,you will hit less and for God"s sake do not try to throw someone from a moving car,because you may succeed in your actions,oh excuse me,I mean mistake.But that is okay,because no matter what,your loyal fans will stand behind you.
