On a much lighter note, my LoL moment for the day.

2. My understanding about the unpaid wages, (from another article) was that the bodyguard

after he quit (or was fired) "learned" that he may be entitled to overtime pay for his 14-18 hours days working for the Bieb. It appears the O/T wages wasn't an issue until after he no longer was working for the Bieb. If you are a 'professional' and not a novice, you should know what the laws are (regarding providing personal services) and what you're entitled to.

You should also know how to restrain an individual should you need to, if you're a bodyguard, or leave the room. If you don't, or you chose not to, for whatever reason, don't be a wuss after the fact and file a silly lawsuit saying the Bieb berated you and beat you up. This is not directed at you personally.

As I mentioned in my OP, I took Karate 20 years ago, barely for a year myself, but my kids did too for a longer period than me. One of the first things they teach you in martial arts and self defense, is to know when to use force and when to walk away, and I believe that has served my kids especially well in many aspects of their lives.
