Chris Brown has gotten in trouble again, according to police
reports in Washington DC he is being charged with felony assault on a man. As
you might know his most notable crime was the assault on famous pop star and former
girlfriend of his Rihanna, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of felony
assault and was sentenced to five years probation along with 180 days of
community labor and ordered to complete a year of domestic violence classes. Since
this incident Chris Brown has been slayed in the media for any and everything
he has done, it got some bad for him that the entire year of 2012 he decided
that he wouldn’t speak with the media. However that didn’t mean he would stop
the media from attacking him, throughout the year he was attacked for several petty
incidents. He was criticized by the media for bashing rapper Jay-z for talking
about how he sold drugs before he became a rapper. Then in February the
paparazzi was following him so much that they caused Chris to total his
Lamborghini. Assuming that it couldn’t get any worse with Chris Brown and his
alleged bad luck, he was in a night club in New York city where he ran into his
industry Foe Drake, the two formed a strong dislike for one another when rumors
surfaced that Drake was dating Rihanna. Rumors that Chris didn’t take lightly,
reports have it that all hell broke loose in the NY nightclub, where champagne
bottles were thrown across the club between the two celebrities in attempt to
harm each other. Now I pose this question, is Chris Brown a troublemaker or has
he become a victim of yellow journalism?

Discrimination Amongst Athletes in the Legal System
If you're not a huge football fan
then you may not know that over the summer of the NFL’s elite tight end was
charged with 1st degree murder along with two other charges of
unlawful possession of a fire arm and unlawful possession of a large firearm.
So I bet you are wondering ok another football player has gotten in trouble
whats the big deal right?
Well if you do a little research
on the case you see the unusual things that is going on in this case. First and
most importantly the state not allowing him to make bail, now ask yourself how does
someone with no prior criminal record gets his bail denied. If you watched the
video it explains everything you need to know, the judge states how she
considered Hernandez a flight risk simply because he is being accused of
cold-blooded murder and because he has the means to flee. I thought in America
you were innocent until proven guilty, I kind of felt that the judge was
already convicting Hernandez of murder in the first degree.
Now lets discuss another athlete
being mistreated in the legal system, Floyd Mayweather a famous boxer known for
his undefeated record in the sport of boxing and the amount of money he’s made
in the sport. Mayweather was sentenced back in 2012 to 90 days in jail after he
pleaded guilty to battery in a domestic violence dispute. After the judge
sentenced him she stated to Floyd “no matter who you are, you have consequences
to your actions when they escalate to this level of violence.” Now Mayweather
like Hernandez is a guy who has no prior criminal record and was given jail
time for a misdemeanor on his first conviction. Are you noticing any
similarities in these two cases? But that’s not even the worse part Floyd was
placed in solitary confinement the entire time he spent in jail because the he
was considered a “special inmate” according to the Nevada Clark County detention
center. Basically because Floyd is a famous boxer he wasn’t allowed fair
treatment while incarcerated but instead he was placed where murderers, serial
killers etc spend their jail time. The discrimination towards athletes must
stop, they are normal citizens like everyone else.
