Damn...

Ahem... I guess most of the people with internet access have now seen what is reported as being the police photo of Rihanna's face. I am not linking to it.

Well goddamn.

Why?

What would push any self respecting man to hit her?

Not only her, ANY woman?

Like the saying goes, "Pick on someone your own size". They should add "and sex" to that.

And the worst part of it all is that the media keeps asking the question "What will this do to Chris Brown's/Rihanna's career?"

Uhmmm, do you think that these two even CARE about their careers right now? I think not.

Domestic abuse is a serious issue, and people are just downplaying it, nobody is tackling it head-on like they should. Again, people are just worried about their careers. Sad.

Hitting on your significant other (male or female) is not cool.

My advice, your chick is getting on you nerves, get your big, girl cousin to do the job. Just kidding. Try and talk it out like adults. Find the root of the problem. It's not easy, but it can be done. But under no circumstances do you lay your hands on her. Unless it's a hug. And not a bearhug either.

I read somewhere that "at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in some other way — most often by someone she knows, including by her husband or another male family member; one woman in four has been abused during pregnancy".

Read that again.

Sh*t's disgusting.

*Steps off his soapbox*

I'm out.
