Speaking out for the first time since his son's arrest, Chris Brown's biological father, Clinton Brown, tells PEOPLE his son is at home, reflective and filled with concern.

"He's reflecting on this situation," Brown, 44, a corrections officer, tells PEOPLE in an interview at his home outside Tappahannock, Va. "He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that Rihanna's okay.

"This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation," Brown continues. "Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip."

And Brown – who flew to Los Angeles to attend the Grammys with his son but never made it to the show – says there are "two sides to every story."

"If you are on his side, you are on his side," he says. "Just because someone trips, if you are truly a fan, you are not going to demonize him instantaneously."

1. True, but when I trip, I don't hit girls.

3. Yes. Sure.

I am certain that Mr. Brown the Elder has the same attitude and rationales for every prisoner under his administration, as well. :eyes:

4. When you stumble, you usually hurt yourself. Not someone else.

Bullshit. He needs to take responsibility for his own vile actions.

5. He has to say that. He pummelled his son and turned him into this monster, he needs to justify his

own actions.

6. We all trip, but we don't punch, bite and abuse. He's a JERK.

Poster Boy for 21st Century Bad Behavior. There are NEVER two sides to punching and biting.

I hope he gets punched and bitten--right in his fat little wallet. The ass. Then he can reflect on living on a greatly reduced income because he's an idiot.

7. Sounds like the "fell on my knife" defense

Defendant in Tourist Killing Maintains That Victim Fell on Knife

One of three defendants on trial for the murder of Brian Watkins, a Utah tourist who was slain in a subway station in 1990, described in a videotaped statement played in a Manhattan courtroom yesterday how the victim died when "he fell on my knife."

"I had my knife out in my right hand and this blond guy fell toward my knife," Mr. Morales said in the videotaped statement, which was taken from him on Sept. 3, 1990, the day after the police said the 22-year-old Mr. Watkins was stabbed to death while trying to defend his family from being beaten and robbed in the 53d Street Station of the IND subway.
