Once in college I threw a balled-up paper towel at my boyfriend during an argument, and he grabbed my arms and held them tightly together while he yelled at me. I "started it", but there was no implicit threat of serious harm coming from me.

I know exactly who to blame for this state of affairs, thanks, and it’s not the Stranger crew. Savage is one of our country's most important independent voices. ECB is a professional journalist who has been an important part of seriously upgrading the Stranger’s news coverage. No one who reads this paper regularly doubts their skills and their commitment to local journalism.

You trolls, on the other hand, are a virus. There's some sad combination of boredom, stupidity and sickness that leads you creeps to hang around websites just to be obnoxious and disrupt other people's conversations. In elementary school we called you kids "problem children,” and you’re the kind of adults we call “sociopaths.” Online you're called "trolls" and except for the vain hope that you'll eventually just embarrass yourselves out of existence or get fired from the jobs that allow you endless internet access, there seems to be very little we can do about you.

And it stinks.

Lots of reasons. It's not an easy situation.

Now the boy will probably be sent to jail, where he'll be up against murderers, child rapists and don't think he won't forget who put him there while he's raped on a daily basis for being a woman beater. Creating an everlasting cycle of violence that makes private companies rich beyond their wildest dreams and destroys the fabric of our society.

You can blame ECB and Savage for this. They asked for it, they're continuing to ask for it, they got it.

This style of writing and behavior + comments = you get these types of comments.

Enjoi!

I'd treat her like a goddess, but then I admit I'm a troglodyte next to her. Is Brown going to do serious time for that shit?

We do it for the lulz, we do it for the lulz.

You can't do it = you can't do it.

Put up or shut up. Faggot bitch.

The huge mystery to me is why Rihanna took Chris Brown back.

This wasn't a little scuffle; he came close to permanently brain damaging her.

Why do you come to comments if it's not to engage in conversation?

If Oz taught me anything, it's that prison rapes take place at the hands of Chris Meloni, in which case it is most certainly awesome.

...well, except for when it's done with a spoon :S

It's a relatively minor detail, but would certainly change the narrative a bit if it happened.

I imagine Chris Brown might be hearing that a lot upon incarceration.

(Also, fuck you, asshole troll, for driving me to mildly glorify prison rape, which, like all rape, sucks.)

It's easy to get angry at her and admonish her for the choice she's made to get back with him, but I seriously doubt that she even recognizes it as a choice right now.

Best wishes for her and everyone in her situation.
