Chris and Rihanna are young and could actually be called children. The way that the media tore Chris up is a horrible thing to do to young people. It is obvious that he has seen violence and should have sought healing before entering any relationship. Where are the ministers who should step in and help these young people. One minute Chris was on top of the world and the next at the bottom. HE IS A YOUTH! I have a 21 year old son and this situation makes me angry that the public would attack this young man the way that they did. Will and Jade thank you for doing what needs to be done. You are truly a blessing for them and I will be praying for each of you. God Bless,
Kim

I think Chris should be given a second chance he just has to lay low for a while and really get some help but I thnk his mother should have gotten him some help when he was young since he witnessed her being abused and who is to say that Rihanna was’nt the abuser n the relationship as well maybe he just had enough and just snapped because I believe she was hitting on him too I don’t believe he just beat her up for no reason he needs to speak out and tell his sde of the story because its three sdes to ths story his hers and the truth.

I am sure if someone looks deeper in the young life of Chris Brown, there will be evidence of conduct disorder and behavioral problem starting early in childhood- no matter how hard his relatives and handlers try to project him with a very pristine image. It will not be surprising if it turns out that he grew up exposed in a very violent family environment. Just like any individual with the same weakness/defect, he rationalizes his behavior as having hurt or mistreated early in life.

Hey, Mary,and everyone else who, for some sick reason, actually speaks out to defend this lowbrow thug: look at the photo of the ‘alleged’ injuries. If someone did THAT to your daughter, would you be so forgiving?!?!?

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - A Muslim-American television executive accused of decapitating his wife remained jailed without bail Wednesday as his lawyer dismissed suggestions that culture played a role in the crime.

Muzzammil “Mo” Hassan, 44, appeared subdued during a brief appearance Wednesday in Orchard Park Village Court, where his lawyer waived his right to a felony hearing.

The beheaded body of Aasiya Hassan, 37, was found last week at the offices of Bridges TV, the Muslim-American television network the couple started to promote understanding between cultures. Hassan was arrested after walking into the police station in this Buffalo suburb Feb. 12 and telling officers his wife was dead.

Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said his officers had responded to domestic incidents involving the couple in the past. Aasiya Hassan had her husband served with divorce papers a week before her death.

“Culture, religion doesn’t play a role,” said defense attorney James Harrington, reacting to speculation that the crime may have been an “honor killing.” Experts say such killings are still accepted among fanatical Muslim men, including in the couple’s native Pakistan, who feel betrayed by their wives.

“It’s not an issue in this case,” said Harrington, who described the burly businessman as almost in shock.

“He has an almost blunted affect. He’s having difficulty coping with this,” the lawyer said.

The Islamic Society of North America issued a statement of condolence to Buffalo’s Muslim community and urged leaders to take a strong stand against domestic violence.

“Women who seek divorce from their spouses because of physical abuse should get full support from the community and should not be viewed as someone who has brought shame to herself or her family,” the statement by Imam Mohamed Hagmagid Ali said.

Erie County Assistant District Attorney Colleen Curtin Gable said Hassan is being held without bail pending possible grand jury action. He is charged with second-degree murder.

Security was tightened at the courthouse, with officers explaining that emotions had the potential to run high.

Bridges TV operated on television providers across the U.S. and Canada, but it stopped broadcasting after the killing. On Wednesday, the station’s interim general manager, Hunaid Baliwala, issued a statement saying the staff did not have access to its facilities. Baliwala indicated the station would return to the air, however, in honor of Aasiya Hassan, who got the idea to start it while listening to post-Sept. 11 media reports.

“The two biggest issues that we currently face at Bridges TV are the negative publicity generated by this domestic violence incident and the ongoing funding constraint,” Baliwala’s statement said.

Nancy Sanders, a former news director at the station, said Aasiya Hassan “didn’t want her children to be brought up in a world where every mention of a Muslim had some sort of terrorist connotation to it.”

“This woman in particular fought so hard to change the image of Muslims in America,” she said, “and how does she die? This brutal act at the hand of her husband. It just stuns me

chris jus wanna let u know i will always be ur fan.PLEASE remember not every one is perfect mistakes were made to happen

this is a real shocker rite here with these 2 young couples wat ever has transpired b/w the two is not,an i repeat not anyone’s bizz especially the media cuz they are makin dis situation worse as it is.rere u jus kip ur head up, chris realise ur mistakes and that so-cal apology aye comon wats with that say somthing better than that.juger is a sinner but if that was me that relationship is down the drain before u could say it out loud. once is all they need to continue

No one as any right to judge on what happened. They need to leave them alone this between chris and rihanna, and I dont look at any of them any different. If he can see his mistakes and god can forgive so should everyone else, he shouldnt even worry about what everyone thinks of him either only the man upstairs can judge him.

remember the photos of Nicole Simpson when OJ would beat her up? Eventually. the abuse escalates to murder, look what OJ Simpson did and got away with it. The abuse on Chris Brown’s part has to stop or he will continue his abuse and Chris will end up being someone’s baby doll in prison. I hope he learns from this escapade that abuse is not the answer, WALK AWAY IF SOMEONE IS SUPPOSEDLY PROVOKING YOU.

JUANITA BYNUM, WHITNEY HOUSTON, MARY J. BLIGE, HALLE BERRY, YOLANDA ADAMS, TINA TURNER, TO NAME A FEW, IF YOU DONT KNOW, YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY. I HATE ABUSE. IT SIMULTANEOUSLY ANGERS ME AND BREAKS MY HEART. I WAS A VICTIM OF ABUSE. WE LIVE, WE LEARN, WE GROW, WE MATURE, WE MOVE ON. PLEASE! MY PEOPLE! LET US AGREE TO DISAGREE AND NOT BASH EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF OUR OPINIONS. PLEASE REMEMBER ITS NOT ABOUT YOU OR ME. ITS ABOUT THEM!

When you love someone,you always always prethink your actions and your words and that my friends comes with maturity. I pray that ministering angels speak to each of their precious hearts and minds and lead and guide them into enlightment and wisdom. Read Proverbs ,it teaches us how to live Forgiveness is foremost. May God richly bless them both. I love those kids, they are wonderful creations of God. They will learn from this mistake and overcome and be victorious in so doing. Ignorance is temporal, We are only ignorant until we know. Im praying for you Chris and Rihanna Carol A.

WELL FIRST OF ALL WE WE’RE NOT THERE
SO WE DON’T REALLY NOW WHAT HAPPEN. AN AS A MATTER OF FACT PEOPLE NEED TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE WORST IN PEOPLE. WELL I LIKE BOTH OF THEM CHRIS AND RIHANNA AND WISH THEM WELL AND HOP THAT ALL WORKS OUT WITH THEM SO THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR CARRER. THEY WERE THE BEST ENTERTAINERS SO MUCH TALENT AND I HOP THE PUBLIC WILL WELCOME THEM BOTH BACK TO THE STAGE. THIS SHORT PERIO THE TIME THAT I HAVEN’T SEEN THEM ON TV. I MISS THEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM ON TV AGAIN. SO THAT I CAN BE ENTERTAINED. I SURE HOPE THAT IT ALL WORKS OUT FOR THEM FOR THERE LIFE LINE. TO SUPPORT THEM SELVES. WE ALL GO THROUGH SOMETHING AND WE LIFT OUR HEADS UP AND PRESS ON . I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS TO WILL PASS.

Did I read that Chris was the next OJ Simpson. You people are off the chain!

No verfification of the story. Only aledged information has been posted. If it was a fact, the media would definitely say so. The media is stating that the information is aledged to avoid being sued for slander or defamation of character. Most of you people need to heed to that fact.

There were only two passengers in that vehicle and neither is talking. So unless you were flies on the hood of the vehicle, I would suggest you stop talking as well.

Let Chris have his peace.

Peace

Will Smith is acctually right.
Because we dont know what happened . People are just spreading rumours now so we dont know who to believe !
So its true its a time we should let them be together alone and talk about it and say sorry and everything like that. So then we will know the truth about the Rihanna Being Abused Story.

Thank God for celebrities like Will and Jada, who are good role models as far as couples in the lime-light of hollywood. We don’t know the whole situation about what happened that night but let me tell you it can be worked out and people do make changes regarding domestic violence. Only their love for each other will be their strength. And only God can make the changes in their life and mend this if its His Will.

Will and Jada, thanks for supporting Chris Brown at this time. I know you’re just as supportive of Rihanna. They are both great celebrities and God’s children. The last think we need is another young black man getting “branded” by the media and the public.

I thank that this thing with Chris and Rihanna have been blown up and out of order. These two people need to be left along. I feel what ever happened between them is personal and it should not have gone this for. Every one need to step out of it and take a chill pill . Anyway there is two sides to the story. Would any of you want others to be all in your personal afairs?

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED. ALL OF THIS SPECULATION AND MEDIA OUTPOUR IS HEARSAY. HE APOLOGIZED FOR WHAT HE DID AND HE ALSO STATED MUCH OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID BY THE MEDIA IS NOT TRUE. WHICH, IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW THE MEDIA WORKS. UNTIL BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY ARE OFFICIALLY TOLD, WHY ARE PPL SO QUICK TO JUDGE OR GUESS? YOUR COUSIN TELLIN YOU OR JUST BECAUSE SOME JOURNALIST WROTE IT DOES NOT MAKE IT FACTUAL. JUST SOME THOUGHTS!

First of all, if you know Will Smith, you know that he is eloquent and has a great command of the English language, and that his “we don’t know nothing” statement was deliberate and made for effect, not because he didn’t know better.
Second, I think that he is correct in that we don’t know what happened, we are all speculating at this point about what “transpired” as Mr. Brown said in his apology. We…the outsiders who aren’t acutally having to go through being abused or being called an abuser at this time, should allow Rihanna and Chris to deal with the situation themselves.
Will is right, they need help, both of them. They both have to recover from this. Just because I agree that if Chris did in fact assault Rihanna he was DEAD WRONG, doesn’t mean that I don’t think he should get help so that he doesn’t do it again.
They are young people, and young people make mistakes. I bet we’ve all done some stuff when we were young that we wanted people to allow us to repair, even when we knew we were DEAD WRONG.

what we need to remember is that these two are extremely young. We don’t know the real story and there are men out there that have made mistakes with women when they are young and learn from there mistakes. I think it would be a terrible injustice for us to right away label Chris Brown as an abuser. With the right help and guidance, and all this negative press, I think he will be able to learn from this. I am praying that God will have his Healing hands over both these young people.
