I believe that his career isn’t over. He’s too talented to just end up by the wayside. I don’t think it’s fair that the tv shows and radio shows have stopped playing his music. That to me is people putting their personal feelings in the way of their job. True, his career has suffered so far, but he hasn’t been indicted on any charges cuz they don’t have enough evidence. If they did, the DA wouldn’t have asked for more time. Second, people are saying the people that approve of his behavior are young and naïve. I’m 27 yrs old and my mother is 53. We both agree that under certain circumstances, he was warranted to hit her back. Now as far as him going to the extreme like that, some women need to realize that men are stronger and can do more physical harm. A lot of women hit men and expect none of them to hit back. Women have to realize not all men were raised under the same belief that under no circumstance do you hit a woman. Some men were raised that if she hits you, you hit her ass back. And some usually don’t hit a woman, but can only take so much before they retaliate. I remember when my parents fought. My father would get drunk and initiate it, but my mother always tore that ass up. When the police arrived, they’d just laugh at my father. He would try to get them to arrest my mother and they just laughed so hard in his face. In this society, it’s okay for a woman to beat a man and she’s not punished at all. Then when a man finally hits them back, society is ready to castrate him. Yet women are always hollering about equal rights. It said in the damn police report that she wrote, that Rihanna did strike him first AND threw the damn keys out the window at 2 in the morning. She was asking for it. She’s very immature so don’t sit there and act like he just went 730 on her ass for no reason. I think Rihanna is going to eat this publicity up. She’ll lose a lot of fans: the ones that really are die-hard CB fans, and a lot of people that don’t agree with the true story if it turns out that she was just as much to blame as he.
