Plea For Help or Just Plain Stupidity?

 

Justin Bieber, whose name rolls off the tongues of Americans with disgust nowadays, has gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble lately.  From egging neighbor’s homes to publicly urinating in a mop bucket in a New York restaurant, Justin has done it all without so much as a slap on the wrist as punishment, but all these antics have started to finally catch up with the 19 year old.

Cry for help or just stupidity? Personally, I think he’s just a spoiled rich kid with too much time and money on his hands, and many Americans agree when it comes to the Canadian teen. A petition to have him deported back to Canada now has over 104,000 signatures and the White House must address it since it has reached 100,000 signatures. On the other hand, some celebrities have come to his side defending his outbursts and regarding them as cries for help. He sure could use some help in the form of a psych evaluation.

Justin who is originally from Canada and who was discovered by the age of twelve via the Internet started his unwelcome American domination back five years ago in 2009. Sugary pop hits such as “Baby” and “One Less Lonely Girl” made him an instant hit among the teenage girl demographic. Almost in an instant, Bieber had a string of perfumes, t-shirts, and “Beliebers,” his loyal followers. Some may say the instant success went to his head, and I would have to agree.

Fast-forward to 2013 and his downward spiral which delighted Americans and Canadians alike. In a one-month span, Bieber had used some Mixed Martial Arts moves on some paparazzi, spit on his adoring fan base from a hotel balcony in Toronto, and publicly urinated in a mop bucket inside a New York restaurant while yelling obscenities about Bill Clinton. No one will forget when he wrote in the guest book at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam that, “Anne was a great girl. I’m sure she would’ve been a Belieber.”

More recent incidents have actually landed Bieber in legal trouble. Finally! The legal crackdown on Justin began December 29th when he and his crew assaulted a limousine driver after a hockey game. Exactly thirty days later Bieber was due to arrive in Toronto where he would be formally charged with the assault.  Ten days after the initial assault, Bieber was caught throwing eggs into his neighbor’s yard causing $20,000 in damages. I’m not quite sure how a few eggs can cause that amount of money in damages, but they don’t call it HollyWeird for nothing. Los Angeles police raided Bieber’s home searching for the aforementioned eggs and security camera footage.

The latest blow in the seemingly never-ending saga came with an arrest, mug shots that look eerily similar to Miley Cyrus, and a Michael Jackson-esque exit from the jail. To sum it up, the late-night comedians have been having a field day. The arrest began when Justin left a nightclub in his rented yellow Lamborghini and was stopped for drag racing. Also charged with driving with an expired license, a DUI, and resisting arrest, Justin was released on $2500 bail.  After being released and returning to his ridiculously expensive hotel, he had hordes of fans singing his songs at ungodly hours of the morning. It’s good to know someone still believes in him, because most of America sure doesn’t.

Unfortunately while researching and writing this I’ve discovered that all charges except for resisting arrest have been dropped.  Yet again he somehow avoided legal trouble. So that begs me to ask the question of how he got off on something that could potentially get the average Joe a 90 day license suspension.

I would love to think that the state of Florida just doesn’t want to deal with him, but they can’t be that biased. The Biebs has the cash to afford a fantastic legal team, which is probably how he got off. His age of 19 also might have had to do something with the dropped charges. His age also brings up the question which some can answer easily.

I’m not sure what will happen to Justin Bieber, but boy do I sure hope the White House works their magic with that petition.
