Toronto’s controversial mayor Rob Ford is defending bad boy Bieber after Toronto police charged the headlining teenager with assault. That’s his second arrest in under a week, reports news agency AFP.
Justin Bieber has had a tough month after he was charged this week for an offence in December, hitting a limousine driver “several times” and last week he was resisted arrest in Miami after driving under the influence of marijuana and prescription Xanaz (mainly used for anxiety).
Ford was heard sticking up for his fellow Canadian on a Washington radio show asking listeners to think back when they were teenagers.
"He's a young guy, 19 years old. I wish I was as successful as he was”, reported Toronto Sun.
Bieber’s on going bad behaviour has led to a petition urging President Obama to deport the Canadian pop star. If the petition gets 100,000 signatures within 30 days the Government must review. Bieber hit the 100K mark in just six days, there’s now more than 200,000 signatures backing the movement, says the Daily Mail.
The petition says he’s threatening public safety and is a terrible influence on youth.
“We the people of the United States … would like to see the dangerous, destructive, and drug abusing Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked”.
According to US federal law, a person can be deported if they commit a violent act whether the crime was under US or foreign law.
Hurricane Biebers path of destruction saw the mayor of Gold Coast, Tom Tate, telling Bieber last November to clean up his act after he allegedly spray painted a wall, with a crew of friends, near the hotel they were staying in.
"All of us have done something not tasteful, but at the very least we've all done something to rectify what we've done wrong," the Digital Journal reported.
The Daily Mail reports Bieber is allegedly blasting $1-million-dollars a month on his outrageous lifestyle. Last year he was ranked the 27th most powerful celebrity earning $58-million-dollars last year.
