Chris Brown has made no statement I can find, that Rhianna physically provoked him or invited a physical attack upon herself. Anyone finding the thinnest grounds to justify what Chris Brown did, including Chris Brown, needs help. If you cannot live without violating other people, then find your own kind and you can all beat the day lights out of each other. Leave the rest of us alone. And just because Rhianna changed her mind, don't expect someone you violate not to pursue legal retribution to the nth degree. Neither should you count on being treated differently than you treat others. Some of us get fed up and fight back and we're not always the one to give up or fall. Think about that.
