nijinsky's fetlocks said:Fair play,I totally misunderstood the "snides/grasses/backstabbers point - I wrongly assumed that you were of the "I'm not getting involved in a domestic incident" advocates,(the police being a classic example),that contribute to the perpetuation of violence towards women.
You are totally correct that some on here would rejoice at the downfall of a "Mancunian made good" - I think that the "what a pair of tossers the Gallaghers are" vitriol of a while back was ample proof of the downright jealousy of some and,much as I am no great fan,I was very much lauding of their achievements.
My criticism of Brown in no way detracts from my love of the first Stone Roses album,any more than my love of Oscar Wilde being tainted by being an Irish convict who also "cheated" on his wife.
We all make mistakes and,if Brown has transgressed in a violent way,he should be punished accordingly.
I won't rejoice in that,but rather see it as a rare example of everyone,regardless of reputation or wealth,being equal before the law.
I think that this is the first thread I have disagreed with you on since I joined Bluemoon.
I guess it had to happen one day!
No, I'd never knowingly not help anyone suffering domestic abuse be it a man or a woman.
I agree that if Brown is guilty then he should be punished accordingly just as anyone else would. To be fair his 'legend' status doesn't carry that much weight, he isn't Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney.
My own reading of it is that she'll most likely drop the charges and that'll be that but you never know I suppose.
We aren't really disagreeing here, except for you not liking his solo stuff! lol
