Click here to watch the video.
Kanye West was recently arrested and presumably jailed for vandalism after destroying a paparazzi camera. He really trashes that shit too, as you can see in the video. I love how he casually walks back in line afterwards as if he didn't just get maniacal on someone's ass a few seconds ago.
Kanye's is a man of many antics, and many people think he's just a publicity whore, which is probably true. But in this case--and probably any case where it's papparrazzi versus celebrity--I've got to vote against the camera-man. Sure, taking someone's property and going Incredible Hulk on it is definitely illegal; but following a human being around against their will with a fucking camera SHOULD be illegal.
Wait a minute. It IS. It's called stalking.
How the papparrazi have continuously gotten away with breaking the law even to the point of trespassing, invading privacy, and even, at times, breaking and entering; is beyond my comprehension. I guess the celebrities just don't have the time to pursue legal action.
And I know the video doesn't show what happens prior to 'Ye's outburst, but it's the papparazzi. I guarantee you they were fucking with him. And honestly, following him around while he's trying to handle his business, is bullshit enough.
People are taking the side of the cameraman, presumable just because its Kanye, and we all know Kanye's a huge crybaby and a self-admitted asshole, and maybe we want to see him get a little comeuppance. In this case, however, I see just another case of the paparazzi abusing their inexplicable immunity to the law and another celebrity that didn't want to take it anymore.
