1. Who knew? Right here in my hood

And frankly, who cares. This is one messed up young man...

[yeoman6987]

26. He needs help

It appears that Amanda Bynes has received the help she needed after a horrible year of attention getting. It is obvious that is what Justin is doing. I think he should be put in the same facility Amanda was in for six months (she was in a bit longer but not sure just how bad Justin is).

2. Can't we just deport him already?

[davidpdx]

4. +1

[Crowman1979]

5. I talked with one of my Canadian friends about this, and they don't want him back.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Too rich.

But if he goes full Lohan, which he appears to be doing, it is possible.

[hlthe2b]

22. + 1000

My wish is that he find peace and a happy future IN OBSCURITY.

[SidDithers]

27. No. America made him what he is. American can keep him...

He was a nice Canadian Christian boy when he lived up here.

Anyway, it's really all Usher's fault. Usher should be forced to take him in.

28. Can't we just deport him already?

Absolutely NOT. I was listening to the radio this morning and that exact question was brought up. After research that the radio commentator did. She said that the United States would NEVER deport Justin Bieber because the United States makes too much money on Justin to allow something like that to happen (at least at this time).

[Javaman]

33. sounds good to me. he and the mayor of Toronto can make a video together. nt

[sked14]

34. Canada called and said,

Nope, he's your problem child now.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. At this rate he'll never even make it to...

...the 27 Club.

[LuvNewcastle]

9. I think you're right.

Drinking and Lamborghini-racing don't mix.

[RiffRandell]

7. I don't like the guy but am constantly amazed at the lack of empathy

here towards people with possible addiction issues.

Yes, he could have killed someone while driving under the influence.

The combination of youth, money and fame can lead to bad decisions and addictions as we have seen time and time again.

My guess is he'll go to rehab, not take it seriously, get off with a slap on the wrist and if he continues on this path may end up in the 27 club...or sooner.

8. tell any 19 year old they're a god

and then provide them with essentially unlimited funds and this happens to 90% of them... he needs to hang in there for a few more years, get some perspective and then maybe he'll be ok... maybe.

sP

[RiffRandell]

10. True, and if his fame fades which probably will fairly soon he'll

probably go down the tubes anyway. It's sad.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

14. maybe he can turn it around...

but if he goes Full-Lohan it is a long road back...

sP

[demwing]

48. Robert Downey Jr survived

and came back stronger than ever, so it is possible...

[LuvNewcastle]

12. It's too much to handle for most people, I'd say.

There aren't many of us who could totally keep it together in a situation like that. I think just about anybody in his shoes would go through a stage where they would have to test the limits of what they can do. I hope that one day he decides to test the limits of how much good he can accomplish. You never know.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

13. that's probably true

look at some of the lotto winners out there... but his age is definitely a factor i would say...

sP

[RiffRandell]

17. I'm thinking wtf is he still doing in jail?

You would think he would have been out within an hour.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

18. well, during my little jaunt to the county lock up

they couldn't even process me for a good chunk of hours and i ended up being there long enough to have supper AND breakfast...

sP

[RiffRandell]

19. The cops could be fucking with him for his celeb status.

Sorry for your experience....unfortunately I can relate.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. A famous person once said...

Fame and fortune, it's all an illusion.

[a kennedy]

15. and a friend of mine said, fame, fortune and satan all run in the same circles.....

and I wonder.... He's just to young.

[GeorgeGist]

16. Crash and burn, baby.

[tavernier]

20. We live an hour from there

I suppose we will hear about this 24/7 for days coming. Already it has been on for hours, even as I write this.

[MineralMan]

21. I'm betting the rental agreement for that Lambo includes

a prohibition on any form of racing. Maybe there will be a nice big penalty to pay, along with this arrest.

[Nye Bevan]

23. These rich celebrities can so easily afford chauffeurs

and professional drivers to take them drag racing. He could even buy his own personal drag-racing closed course.

[msanthrope]

45. This what I've never understood about DUIs--and I'm a criminal defense lawyer! If you are

rich enough--hire a driver. Hire a driver for a night. Heck....hiring a driver who will stay sober to drive your car will cost you less than the liquor.

Hire a taxi. Keep a car service number with you. Drink somewhere you can walk home from. Drink in a hotel and stay there----you have nearly unlimited options to party and be safe. USE THEM.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. He's gone full Lohan now.

Never go full Lohan.

[snooper2]

25. He is still trying to get his street cred LOL

stupid blieber

[hrmjustin]

29. His own fault!

[Lex]

30. Possible pic of the arrest

[SidDithers]

32. That's a fake...

The car in that picture is clearly a Mustang, not a Lambo.

The driver, however, does bear a striking resemblance to the Beib.

Sid

[greytdemocrat]

38. LOL!!!

That is hilarious but he needs his toys taken
away for a while before he kills someone.

His mommy is an airhead, she said "don't kick him when he's down."
What he needs is a swift kick in the ass by mommy but he would
probably cut off the $$$.

[Ichingcarpenter]

44. great minds.....LOL

or same sense of humour.

[jsr]

31. Dumbass is trying to establish a bad-boy image

[Ikonoklast]

40. He has the 'boy' part down pat. Bad? The closest Bieber will ever get to 'bad' is 'stupid'.

He'll end up broke and alone soon enough.

[louis-t]

35. And so...it begins.

When you tell a kid he can do no wrong, he will do everything he can to prove you wrong.

[oldhippie]

36. Can someone tell me .....

... what an unauthorized escort is? I must not get out much.

The Opa-locka Police Department is also investigating an unauthorized escort of Bieber, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

39. Some cop(s) apparently escorted Biebs somewhere but were not assigned to do so. n/t

[oldhippie]

41. Aha! Click ......

I guess I need my second coffee this morning.

Thanks!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

42. I'm most of the way through my second =) nt

50. Another victim of Affluenza.

[Lint Head]

51. So we all need a Bieber fix every day? This should not be top news or breaking news.

It's the life of a shallow, self absorbed, narcissistic rich punk. He needs help but he also needs to disappear from the idea that anything he does is big or necessary news. I think he's trying to change his squeaking clean image and will reemerge as an outlaw type and will make millions more because he will have cred. 289 people are killed in gun violence every day. I guess a story about not even one of these people is news because they're not rich or famous.

[polly7]

52. He was raised by a woman who'd had issues with serious depression

to the point of attempted suicide due, probably, to a childhood filled with tragedy, great loss, sexual abuse and violence. Their life was not easy, she worked part-time jobs, while raising Justin on government assistance in low-income housing. That said, he's made some horrible choices and needs to grow the hell up.

[Lint Head]

53. He's rich now.

[polly7]

54. Yes, he is.

I've seen friends personally do really stupid things when they've finally gotten something they felt they'd been missing out on. I'm not making excuses for his recklessness or actions ... I just don't think it's fair to judge him as some spoiled rich kid who had everything growing up, when obviously he didn't, and I believe he probably had a tough time - unless his mother was completely able to shield him from her own demons.

He's rich now, because he made it so, whether you like his music or not.

[Lint Head]

55. There are people who are not rich who are arrested all the time and murdered all the time

but unless they are rich it doesn't make the news. Beiber does not live in the past. He lives now. I'm not judging where he came from. I could care less. We all come from various backgrounds and some much worse than Justin Beiber. Where he is now and what he does now is the thing. If he is mentally warped because he was abused he has enough money to at least seek help. Military veterans who have been warped because they saw babies killed in war are not rich enough to change anything. Sounds like he has "excuses" for acting like an idiot. I know he didn't come from wealthy parents. Neither did I. Things in my past could cause me to do some crazy stuff. I'm not Justin Beiber. I don't know his mind and neither does anyone else. Other than a psychiatrist. All a person can do is speculate.

[polly7]

56. Absolutely.

He's old enough and has all the resources he needs now to get some help and stop his crazy shit before he kills someone.

I don't know his mind either, I just prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt, and hope they do better.

[Lint Head]

57. You are obviously a very nice person.

Me? not so nice

[polly7]

59. Oh, go on ..

You're obviously a very nice person yourself. Differing opinions don't mean otherwise.

[kelliekat44]

58. If this weren't Bieber, just think what would have happened to any other teen refusing to take

his hands out of his pockets...especially a black teen.
