This entertainer is far from done with his probation period

Oct 22, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Reference is made to a letter by Mr. Vidyaratha Kissoon published in Kaieteur News on October 20, 2012 captioned “Promoting Tourism by bringing Chris Brown to Guyana…it’s getting more bizarre”.
In the letter Mr. Kissoon presented details of the police report on Mr. Brown’s DV behavior perpetrated on his girlfriend to call present the gentleman in a negative light and by extension, unworthy of being a positive influence in promoting tourism.
Permit me to respond by in turn, highlighting some aspects of Mr. Brown’s remorse and payment of his debt to society by quoting from an article “Chris Brown Graduates from Domestic Violence Class, Tweets Certificate” by PopEater Staff posted Dec 21st 2010 07:55AM.
“I have enough self respect and decency to be proud of accomplishing this DV class. Boys run from their mistakes. Men learn from them!” he wrote on Twitter. “In November, during a regularly scheduled progress report hearing stemming from his conviction of felony assault, Brown received a glowing commendation from the judge.”
“Out of thousands of probationers, no one has done a better or more consistent job than you have, and I really want to commend you for taking responsibility and for actually working diligently to complete all the things the court has required of you,” Judge Schnegg told Brown.
Editor, in addition, please allow me to refer to a letter of mine which you were kind enough to publish in your letter column on Monday, July 4, 2011 under the heading “Let’s examine the other side of domestic violence” Here is a quote: “Additionally, it could be argued that the decks are overwhelmingly stacked against men where the public perception of domestic abuse and violence is concerned.
Many men accused of cheating on their partners or engaging in other forms of abuse face the media (sometimes with their spouses alongside) and tearfully express remorse. Yet it is often speculated that they face the music for extended periods afterwards while at home.
Others suffer domestic violence in retaliation for such lapses, but are quick to keep it under wraps by referring to the battering as a private matter, and frequently end up losing their wives anyhow, sometimes accompanied by a huge financial payout. So men have to deal with a lot of issues which I believe should be objectively considered as part of any comprehensive response to the scourge of domestic violence.”
And by the way, The guy is far from done with his probation period. Gosh man!…………………..
