CHRIS BROWN'S NEW APOLOGY- I forgive him.. Do you??

Chris Brown did a bad thing. Which has become a horrible thing because of his fame and the situations publicity. He is young, fatherless, witnessed his mother being abused, and has been placed into a high stress lifestyle. This is not an excuse for his behavior but perhaps a probable cause. We also need to take into account that his manager, a nearly forty year old woman, had been engaging in sexual intercourse with Brown since he was age 16. The manager was rumored, not sure if confirmed, to be the person that sent the text message to Brown which set off the incident.
My point is... America is supposed to be the land of second chances. He is being judged a bit too harshly. Many of you have done horrible things in your adolescent years (yes, I did exclude myself.. I'm good!! j/k). You may have been a bully, you may have had abortions, you may have been an accomplice to a crime, sold drugs to a pregnant woman. Whatever the case, you were not judged by the world, you were given a second chance, you grew up and learned from your mistakes. We need to be less about punishment and more about rehabilitation. We cannot imprison and stone all of our citizens that made mistakes. We must help them to correct those mistakes so that we may thrive as a community or as a country. The more productive, contributing members of society the better.
Let me wrap this up before I get too off track.
Final statement: I forgive Chris Brown. I wish him the best.
