Crime Chris Brown Wanted for Robbery
Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Chris Brown, the Grammys' favorite felony assaulter and America's crappiest pop star, has created another pool of poop for himself. From NBC Miami:
The woman, Christal Spann, and her friends followed Brown outside [the nightclub], where she saw him get into his black Bentley, according to a Miami Beach Police report. Spann approached Brown and took a photo with her $500 white iPhone 4S while he was sitting in his car. Then the surly hip-hop star reached through the window, took her cell phone from her hands, and said, “B**** you ain’t going to put that on no website,” Spann told police. He put up his window, drove west on Espanola Way, and north on Washington Avenue, police said.
Police responded at 4:43 a.m. They listed the offense as a “robbery by sudden snatching,” and said the incident would be further investigated. Police said the state attorney's office is preparing the arrest warrant for Brown.
Fuck Chris Brown.

What an asshole. If she had Find My iPhone enabled she could have started Tweeting his location in real time.

Some people really need to get their ass kicked. Just beaten up until their face looks like a squished pizza. I get the feeling Chris Brown is one of those people.

I'd let him beat me while stealing my phone any day! #oohchrisbrown #lackofmeaningfulselfpreservationinstinct

I'm shocked that Chris Brown would speak to a woman -- one he doesn't even know! -- so disrespectfully. Just shocked.

It's really tough to learn your lesson when the girlfriend you beat up keeps coming back, idiots keep buying your music, and (I predict) you get a fine and probation for felony robbery. No consequences.
14
No consequences, indeed. As long as people continue to treat their pop stars like gods, they'll do this. You get away with what you know you can get away with, because you come to think of it as yours.

The broad had no business taking unauthorized pictures anyway. And yeah she probably would have posted it on the internet. Thats what she get, he probably didn't even call her a b****, she probably added that to make it sound worst.

@16 - "no business taking unauthorized pictures" my ass. They were outside, in public. You don't need permission to take anyone's picture in a public place. Even a celebrity.

Tweet from a comedian named Andy Borowitz:
Chris Brown has been accused of stealing a woman's cellphone outside a club. Looking forward to their duet in two years.

Wow!!! That was super dumb! I guess, well, um, I suppose it makes sense considering Chris Brown.
If I ever get an IPhone (right now I can only afford the IBone), and if I ever take a pic of Chrissy "I punched Rihanna" Brown, and if he takes my IPhone, then Chris is going to get a serious ass woupin, because frankly, I got about 105 pounds on Rihanna and about 10 more years of fight training... Sorry Chris, I'm going to have to ask you to give me back that IPhone, what, ok Chris, step out of the car please...

Unfortunately, I do know who Chris Brown is: he's that asshole who went on Good Morning America and got all flustered when the questioner didn't stick directly with his PR reps talking points when she asked about the fallout from his assault of a woman. He then proceeded to have a hissyfit and trashed their dressing room because he's the victim. Fuck him.
24
I'm curious as to what the divide in opinions of Chris Brown is on racial lines. It' seems white people get the most worked up over him. Which I would agree: He is an awful pile of shit.

@23 That completely made my week. Thank you. The comments are hilarious.

@6 wins this one
@19 *especially* a celebrity. Famous people have a lower expectation of privacy, IIRC. IANAL.

@24: I was in a car with a friend, her brother and her brother's best friend. The best friend was from Nigeria and said, "Well, one of my friends from Jamaica said that women from Barbados tend to lie about stuff like that."
I said, "I'm from Barbados, you asshole. I can't believe a Nigerian man is going to uphold racial stereotypes. Do you know what people say about you guys? If you give me your email address I'll send you a copy of the police report, you dipshit."
He didn't want to see the police report.
