With every job comes some responsibility, famous people should be no different. Maybe you should also think before you speak.
Also, if it doesn't directly affect you, who cares? Remember that if some sort of tragedy ever strikes you or your family, and millions of people say "who cares".

I've experienced more tragedy than a bit of domestic violence, and I would never expect or want anyone not involved to care. As it should be.
And please stop projecting your values on to others. Please show me in Chris Brown's recording contract where it says it is his responsibility to live by this so called "higher standard" you are referring to. I'm sure his job does have responsibilities, but I doubt living his life by a "higher standard" is one of them. In fact, I doubt you would find such a clause in any job description.
This is America. People are free to choose and make their own decisions. How about you let people live their life they way they want and you live your life the way you want? Stop telling others how to live their life. Thanks.
