Now tally up the number of bullets, no pun intended, for Sheen and tally up the number of bullets for Chris. as the saying goes, numbers don't lie. Call it what you want, white male privilege, profits for t.v networks over Sheen's publicity, etc... but it doesn't make the crucifixion of Chris Brown right. Chris was young, and still young, he made a horrible mistake, no man should ever put his hands on a woman, but Charlie Carlos Irwin Estevez Sheen is a fifty year old man who continues to abuse women and who displays sociopathic characteristics yet is forgiven time and time again by society, media, and his employers. In fact, Charlie's behavior is outright ignored after a few weeks of negative publicity. And the more negative, the more income, acting opportunities, and notoriety he gets....while Chris continues to be publicly lynched. When will the double standards end?
