Hilarious and Saddening....
Hold The Mutha Effing Phone
NEW YORK (AP) - The manager for teen pop sensation Justin Bieber (BEE'-bur) has been arrested on New York's Long Island in connection with a fan frenzy at a mall.
Scott "Scooter" Braun surrendered to Nassau County police on Wednesday and awaits arraignment on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance. His lawyer says he will plead not guilty.
His arrest stems from a planned appearance in November by the 16-year-old Bieber. When the crowd became unruly, police told Braun to send out a Twitter message canceling the event. The prosecutor says it took Braun 1½ hours to send two tweets, but his lawyer says it took seven minutes. The 28-year-old Braun faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
Police at the time also arrested a vice president from Bieber's record label.
Ok, first of all, the parenthesis that explains to us how to pronounce Justin Beiber's last name cracks me up. BEE'-bur. It rhymes with fever people- remember that.
Second of all, have you guys seen Justin Beiber's manager, Scooter? If Justin Beiber is eleven-teen years old, scooter is only about fifteen-teen years old. He looks like a kid himself. Also, are people going to call you Scooter for the entirety of your life or are you, at some point, going to revert back to Scott? Let's be honest, Scott is not a terrible name and Scooter is, well, a dogs name.
Third of all, this is RIDICULOUS. Where do we live?? I thought America was "The Land of the Free", but evidently its "The Land of Getting Arrested for Not Sending a Tweet". Really?? I didn't know Twitter was a part of the law that our Justice Systems runs by. So let's plot this out. Justin Beiber had a planned appearance at a mall, which means they had plenty of advance notice to bring in additional security, police, etc. These 13 year old girls evidently got unruly [damn those really strong teenage girls] and the police asked Scotter to send out a tweet annoucing that the event was cancelled.
Ok, this is point of ridiculousness #1. How about YOU'RE THE POLICE. Get out your mega phones and your night sticks and lay down the pain. Tell those pimply kids to get their asses back to school [am I right? Why aren't these kids in school??] and safely escort Mr. Beiber to his car.
Point of Ridiculousness #2 is that Prosecutors [such a strong word for such a silly situation] claim that it took Scooter an hour and a half to send two Tweets. Um, and? Did the police give him a time line for sending the Tweets? "Send two tweets within the next 10 mintes OR ELSE". I'm sure that Mr. Scooter had very little else to worry about. Certainly the safety of his client wasn't on his mind, nor was smoothing over things with mall officials who were no doubt upset that this event was being cancelled and their consumers were being killed out of their mall, nor was the safety of Beiber's fans on his mind. Certainly the only thing on his mind at that point in time was "MUST. TWITTER. NOW."
How did those Miranda Rights go? "Mr. Scooter, you are under arrest for failing to send Tweets in a timely manner". Wish I could've been a fly on the wall.
Point of Ridiculousness #3- Scooter could face up to a year of jail time if convicted. I'm sorry, WHAT??? No really, WHAT????????? We have drug dealers, murderers, rapists, child abusers, and an on going list of despicable people who are currently free as birds, but this guy could go to jail for the amount of time for THIS? I just.......I can't. I cannot. America, you're INSANE.
Point of Ridiculousness #4- Police also arrested a Vice President from Beiber's record label. Um.......why? Because he also didn't tweet??
I am so befuddled by this article that I dont even know what to do with myself. I am considering cancelling my Twitter account [after I tweet about this post of course] to evade any potential future arrests. Way to go justice system. Way. To. Go.
