Justin Hitting All the Wrong Notes by Marina Mantas




Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has been making the headlines recently, for all the wrong reasons. The once innocent shaggy-haired pop star has taken the path that we see all too often; the rebellious and careless young adult phase. The 19 year-old Canadian singer is facing felony charges for allegedly egging his neighbors home in a private community located in Calabasas, California. Bieber also was recently arrested for drag racing and a DUI in Miami, along with a nonviolent resisting arrest charge.   
On January 23rd 2013, Bieber was racing around Miami in a Lamborghini with one of his friends and was supposedly under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and prescription pills. Earlier that night, Bieber and his buddies spent about $75,000 in cash at a strip club according to TMZ.com. Both this case and the egging case remain open, along with yet another pending charge of assault on a limousine driver from a few months ago. If convicted, Bieber could face deportation considering he is not a US citizen. He is already on the US Homeland Security watch list, so whenever he leaves and enters the country he must be searched and cleared to continue.
A few weeks ago, Bieber and his crew, including his father were flying in from Canada to New Jersey in a private jet. The pilot had made several calls down to ground control complaining about an overwhelming smell of marijuana. The odor was so strong the pilot reportedly had to use an oxygen mask to stay coherent, also in fear that they would not pass a drug test if administered. The pop star and his crew were being abusive towards the flight attendant, and his dad did nothing to stop them. When they landed, the plane was searched but there were no drugs left on the plane. Dogs were able to sniff and show that they smelled the odor as well, but no drugs or paraphernalia were found to hold anyone responsible.
What’s sad is how blindly his fans will follow him. Lauren Sada, 17 of Arlington Heights said that she still likes him regardless of how he acts. “He can get away with anything. I don’t think he’s a good role model but I still support him.” She is not alone, in fact many of his fans feel the same way. His fans took over Twitter in late January after he was arrested, with #freebieber trending. Some of his fans even thought it was okay for him to be driving drunk, because he’s Justin Bieber. @leahhh_thompson quoted on Twitter: “I mean on a positive note Justin Bieber still looks hot in his mugshot”. 
Just to show how gullible and moronic his fans are, someone started a rumor that the singer was diagnosed with cancer and started a trend called bald for Bieber. Numerous fans shaved their heads over a hoax. You would think someone would do a little research before such drastic actions, but these teenage girls will do anything to show their support for him.
Justin Bieber is headed down the wrong path, and although he’s definitely not the only pop star to show us their crazy side, he seems relentless. It seems as though every other day he is accused of another crime. Maybe one day he will actually retire like he’s stated in the past but until then, at least we can be entertained by the trainwreck that doesn’t seem to end.
