Operation Misery: Month 6, Week 2, Day 5(ish)

I apologise for the delay but I feel I've already more than covered this here; http://watchitdie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/operation-misery-month-6-week-2-day-3.html

Anyway on Friday (16/8/13) a Los Angeles Court heard the latest round of Chris Brown's probation hearings. I've not seen the papers but I gather that the Court ruled that there was significant reason to believe that Chris Brown had not completed the roughly 180 days of community service that he was sentenced to after pleading guilty to the 2009 assault of Rihanna. However crucially the Court stopped short of ruling that Brown had committed multiple criminal offences of perverting the course of justice, fraud and bribing public officials in the course of failing to complete his sentence. As a result the Court merely sentenced Brown to a further 1000 hours of community service to be served within California rather than West Virginia. This would represent an opportunity to complete his original sentence but unfortunately the Court failed to reinstate the restraining order keeping Brown away from Rihanna. Therefore this was Brown's handlers continuing to protect him for the reasons I explained in my previous post on the subject. The figure of 1000 hours of community to service was chosen because it sounds like  a really big number that makes it look like the Court was being really tough on Brown although I seem to remember 15+ years in prison adding up to slightly more than 1000 hours.

Of course Brown's handlers currently seem unable to admit they've made a terrible mistake. However when they do I suggest that the US Attorney General's office take on the case to prosecute Brown for the multiple felonies he has committed across state lines. After all I would hate for Brown's team to argue that all legal routes have been exhausted.

As for Rihanna she is still in New York on the other side of the US. On Saturday (17/8/13) she flew down to Miami, US to attend the wrap party for Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake's ill conceived "Legends of the Summer" tour. This was of course a long planned stunt intended to show that the 'community containment' of Chris Brown is working although I have to say that the effort it is taking to make sure that Rihanna can't sleep in her own bed rather proves that the community is completely failing to protect Rihanna from Brown.

However for years to come I'm sure that the handlers will claim that it was all a clever trick to help calm down the situation in Egypt. You see although I've always been a big fan of a Burn Notice globally Miami is probably most famous for the US TV Show "CSI:Miami" the theme tune of which is "Won't Get Fooled Again" by UK band "The Who." With a chorus talking of "Tipping a hat to the new constitution" and "Taking a file for the new revolution" you would think that this song perfectly sums up the Egyptian people's attitude to the government of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. The first verse which talks about "Fighting in the street with the children at our feet" and "The men who spurred us on sit in judgement of our wrongs decided the shotgun sounds the song" sounds like a particular effort to discourage women from joining in with the anti-government protests. However I think the general tone of the song is to cynical to be of much use in Egypt. Good job it's only the handlers bullsh*tting then.

I'm not stoned(!)
