If you don't know by now the dude above is Justin Bieber, he has one random song on the radio. Apparently he may get charged for NOT tweeting to his fans to calm down. I don't understand why it's an artist obligation to control the crowd, i thought that's what security was for. on top of that the kid is only fifteen, and since hen is twittering a form of crime stopping!!!
Got this from
Gizmodo:
"That's what happened after his presence caused 3,000 hysteric teen girls to march into the Roosevelt Field mall, pushing everyone and each other aggressively. The police asked him to use Twitter to help disperse the multitude, which was getting increasingly violent. When he didn't comply, they arrested Bieber's label VP, James A. Roppo:
We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message. By not cooperating with us we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.
He is now waiting to be charged, probably with "criminal nuisance, endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration." After that, the kid used Twitter to ask all the teen girls to go home because the performance got cancelled. Except for the two cute blondes with ultra-short skirts by the candy store, and the redhead with the big cleavage ordering a pizza at the food court.
It seems to me a bit extreme and stupid, much like that kid who got cleared of criminal charges because of his status update. Why wouldn't the police disperse the crowd by announcing the same thing using a megaphone? Or knocking them all with long range tasers? I can go for that or for smoke grenades. Probably both.
But would a Tweet make such a difference? What if Twitter didn't exist?"
