Extremely disappointing

The fact that he focused his attack on her face seems particularly cruel, since to a certain extent Rhianna's appearance is very central to her career. Injuring her face is not only degrading and violent to her (as it would be to anyone), but it really could impact her career. Plus, how could he think he wouldn't get caught, with such a visible attack with visible injuries?

I don't think getting or not getting caught was on Chris Brown's mind when he was beating Rihanna. He was obviously enraged and out of control. He didn't care they were on a car, he didn't even consider paps might be tailing them or remembered they were both due to perform at the Grammys. It makes me think Brown is a controlling, domineering, violent guy, who can become a very dangerous person if he doesn't get help asap.
As for Rihanna, I was also disappointed in the way she has handled the situation. But we have to consider that she is only 20 years old. A kid not mature enough to understand the nature of the relationship she's into. I think expecting her to be a role model might be too much for her to handle. She is the one in need of a role model. She needs professional help, but also guidance, support and tender loving care, not all the the media pressure she's getting.

I like that the judge sentenced him to community labor and not community service - as Brown is not anyone I'd want to mentor members of a community. And *sigh* the judge was harsher on him staying away from Rihanna than she was about it.
A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years' probation and six months' community labor for the beating of Rihanna and issued a stern admonition to the R&B singer.

I agree. And when people realise their own value, they don´t let others treat them like that.

I think the whole this is just off the wall and disappointing.
I never understood why someone would take an abuser (mental or physical) back.
Rihanna is not at fault, and should not be blamed for this incident.

If he was drunk and angry--he probably wasn't thinking about whether he'd get caught or not. Also--heard that it wasn't the first physical altercation they'd had. I hope she does wise up before she gets disfigured or worse.

I hadn't heard that he had hit her before, but it would't surprise me.
When abuse starts, it starts out small, and gets progressively worse. Chris Brown gave Rihanna a hell of a beating. That wasn't the first time he hit her, just by what he did. The first time is usually "just" a slap or something mild, and then gets built up over time.
