If you don't feel like clicking over to it, here is the first two paragraph out of it.
"You'd think that two felony charges against a star who allegedly beat up his equally famous girlfriend would quickly deplete his female fanbase. For Chris Brown, there's still some hardcore supporters out there who refuse to believe their idol did anything wrong.
The first signs of this trend became apparent when a survey of Boston students showed that 46 percent thought Rihanna was responsible for Brown's alleged attack on her. Similar mindsets were exposed in a New York Times article titled "Teenage Girls Stand by Their Man." In the report, a Bronx ninth grader says that even after seeing the photo of bruised and bloodied Rihanna, that "she probably made him mad for him to react like that ... You know, like, bring it on?""If you don't know what he did to her, you can see the pic here. I'm not posting it because it is so bad.
WTF!? 46%!? How can anyone think that she caused this or deserved it?! No person, woman or man, deserves to be treated like this by their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. This made me so sad and mad.
What are we teaching our kids?
I am sure some people have said "Well, if she goes back to him then she deserves it." I hope that when someone says that, they don't really mean it and are just venting about how stupid it is for her to go back to him. Seriously though, watch what you say around your kids. They tend to take things you say literal.
If I ever heard one of my children say that she or anyone else that is a victim of domestic violence deserved it, I would flip the fuck out. Maybe because I have been there but I would like to think I would still react that way had I not gone through it.
I really hope that something changes and that people get a clue about domestic violence. Please teach your kids that it's not OK and not the victims fault. Hell, that's one reason why so many stay in that situation, they think it's their fault and not the abusers.

What is wrong w/ people? It's like if people don't want to believe something is true they tell themselves over and over until they truly believe it, even though it's wrong.
My ex boyfriend used to abuse me and I know the vicious cycle that an abusive relationship holds. I am sorry that this happened to Rihanna but a part of me thought, 'well maybe now people will realize that this is a serious issue in this country', unfortunately people are still just as ignorant in turning a blind eye to things they don't want to believe.
PS I change the channel now if a Chris Brown song comes on.
Wow. I would like to be shocked, but I really am not. It seems that most of the bigger kids today just don't have any respect...for themselves or anyone else. Makes me so sad.
You're doing a great job with your babes, my friend!
I think it's sad to say but things like this are becoming so common place these days. They don't have the kind of effect that they should!
WTF, indeed. I'm not sure what it is with women and "bad boys" - remember how many women wrote to Scott Peterson when he first went to prison? Crazy!
Gag!
seriously just sick. the only persons fault it is, is his!!! she didnt make him hit her! I dont care what happened before that, she didnt take his fists and beat her face with them and didnt make him bite her
