It was just announced that Chris Brown has been charged with two felonies: assault and making criminal threats.
Brown, who has been in hiding since he was arrested for assaulting his 20-year-old girlfriend, singer Rihanna, could face up to five years in jail.
According to a spokesperson for the D.A, the 19-year-old criminal is facing a minimum of probation to a maximum of 4 years and 8 months in jail.
Realistically speaking, everyone knows that as a member of a very elite group of people we like to call celebrities, Chris (like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and every other celebrity who's broken the law over the years) will face a mere fraction of what a normal person would face under the same circumstances.
A maximum of almost 5 years in jail and a minimum of probation really means a slap on the wrist (a soft slap, after all, we wouldn't want to hurt him) and stern talking to.
And people wonder why these types of problems never get solved.
We say give him eight years in prison and probation to follow - that'll teach him!
