Interesting how big domestic violence was when Chris Brown did it but now no one cares and Two And A Half Men will probably still remain a very popular show. Double standard much?

so true and I hate that. “They” say its because Chris had the sweet good guy boy next door reputation while Charlie has always been considered ‘the bad boy’
Its still unacceptable.

Ok – Menacing with a Weapon: The difference between misdemeanor and felony menacing comes down to whether a weapon was involved.

This is not the first time for Charlie Sheen to commit domestic disturbance. He shot John Travolta’s wife when she was his girlfriend. I agree, total double standard. How can you support someone who with all his money cant cure himself of this loathesome behavior. People should not watch his show. He makes 875K per show, and boycotting his show will show that he is not the cute little 20 year old son of Martin Sheen. Look at him, he has evil eyes. The man is a loser, and you should be just as outraged, if not more, than you were for Chris Brown. He threatened to kill his wife. That should be worse than Chris Brown. If you are giving him a break because he is on a comedy show, remember, he is just a too highly paid actor, he is not his character.

Not giving him a break at all. And if she is going back with him, we have another classic case of the domestic abuse victim/syndrome, it is an actual pattern and is to be studied and dealt with. These things should be made public, awareness needs to be continually raised, maybe change can come sometime.

Wait a second here…
