Pop star Justin Bieber arrested in Miami area
Source: Yahoo News
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) On the heels of controversy over a vandalism case, pop star Justin Bieber has been arrested after police say he drag raced on a Miami Beach street in a yellow Lamborghini and failed a sobriety test early Thursday.
Miami Beach police confirmed the 19-year-old singer's arrest in a tweet from the department's official account.
Officers saw two cars racing at 4:09 a.m. Thursday, with two vehicles apparently used to block the area off, Miami Dade-Police spokesman Sgt. Bobby Hernandez told WSVN in South Florida. He says the second car was a red Ferrari, and that driver was also arrested. Both cars were towed.
Bieber failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Miami Beach police station for a Breathalyzer and processing, Hernandez said. Bieber will be transported to the Miami-Dade County jail, Hernandez said.

(42,239 posts)The United States eagerness to kill people who break the law suddenly seems perfectly reasonable according to people learning of the arrest of Justin Bieber today.
>
Music fan Simon Williams told us, Ive been a staunch opponent of capital punishment in the United States for as long as I can remember, but then you have to look at how heinous a crime drag racing actually is.
If you really think about it, its up there with rape and child molestation. And they did catch Justin Bieber absolutely red-handed, didnt they?
Its not like there could be a miscarriage of justice here, is there? I mean he was driving, racing in fact, after drinking and taking drugs. It seems pretty clear-cut to me.
I think as long as they dont have any fourteen year old girls on the jury theyd find him guilty in no time.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"Assfuck Ontario".... could the person who made this post have done it without insulting our Canadian neighbors?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jan 23, 2014, 11:01 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Insulting Canada is uncalled for. I would hope the poster would edit, but failing that, I vote to hide.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Screw Canada...Canadians are always dreaming up a lot of ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: assfuck not necessary in my book, otherwise it's just a question. Some people respond with crudeness, sometimes it's necessary, sometimes it's not.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I did just read that his new album was 14th - not good. Looks like he is on a real downward spiral.
I hate to see these kids with so much talen just piss it away (as Paul Newman said about young actors that have so much talent and then just piss it away doing drugs and acting crazy).

(111,267 posts)Very few of them have the talent to make it as adult acts and they're left with money, alcohol, drugs, and sports cars--and feeling like has beens. This is not a healthy combination.
A wiser solution might be to set up trust funds for them that dole the money out over time, giving them enough to live on while they decide what to be when they grow up.
Handing them the entire thing at 18 doesn't seem to be working.

(2,354 posts)When he blew by at top speed where the retired NFL player and his 3 year old were. He put the child inside and went to Bieber's place, but the little miscreant wouldn't open the door and I believe the cops ended up not charging him calling it just immaturity. Another source said that the some of neighbors plan to beat the living crap out of him unless he quits putting their kids at risk.
The recent house egging is only the last in a long list of stunts he has been pulling as he drugs it up. Letting him off the hook when the result if us would be in on the ground bleeding and in lockup for months is contributing to the danger he poses to the rest of us and probably won't end well for him.
I guess it is just called immaturity because he is a famous little fucker, and only until he kills someone or himself. Looks like the clock is ticking on that outcome...

What is sizzurp? Justin Bieber reportedly addicted to dangerous drink favored by rappers like Lil Wayne
http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/sizzurp-justin-bieber-reportedly-addicted-dangerous-drink-article-1.1588877
Is Justin Bieber hooked on "sizzurp"?
In the wake of the troubled teen idol's DUI arrest in Miami, reports are circulating that the singer's handlers want to put him in rehab for an addiction to the homemade party drink, commonly a mixture of prescription drugs codeine and promethazine sweetened with soda and Jolly Ranchers. Bieber is reportedly also abusing prescription pills.
I guess I was okay with that until they got to the Jolly Ranchers.
