Chris Brown apologizes to the public about the incident in February involving Rihanna. Without going into details, he talks about being exposed to domestic violence growing up. He says his behavior towards Rihanna was inexcusable. He's seeking help and asks the public, his fans, for forgiveness. Whether he is truly sorry or not, his case highlights the fact that domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of class and race. When we encounter it in our lives or in the lives of those around us, what matters most is what we do about it, how we respond. There is no excuse for violence.
