as far as I can gather from teenagers, boys and girls, at school and other places. They think he was provoked or that she did as bad or worse to him. In fact, the boys are more likely to say he is a jerk.

I too remember reading something about this issue. It's quite disturbing.

I think that people don't want to believe that Chris Brown really did this and I guess the way to justify it for them is if he did do this, there must be a reason. It's confusing for people to like Chris Brown as an artist and not like his actions. I know I'm confused!
