The
Tarnished Idol
By
Roger Behra
His name is Justin Bieber. His
initials are J. B. He is 19-years-old. He is from Canada and is well known
there, throughout America, and many other parts of the world. He is the modern
day heart-throb of so many young girls. When he entertains on stage, they lose
control of their emotions. The young have made him an unbelievable millionaire
at age 19. On 1-2: -14 he became a very rich and well known tarnished and
fallen idol. His legacy has changed forever.
It all changed on 1-23-14 on a street
in Florida, and it has nothing to do with his music. It is a sad story, but it
has to be told. It severely damages his character and causes young girls to cry
uncontrollably.
At 4 a. m. after partying and drinking
Bieber decided to do some drag racing on residential street in a rented
Lamborghini in Miami Beach Fla. Before long the police arrived and he was
facing arrest. Bieber refused to cooperate and was handcuffed. Soon, he was
inside the police station before the police chief, and the whole sordid story
of these alleged misbehavior events unfolded.
It all began with the mug shot when he
shocked everyone as he smiled broadly as the photo was taken. However, there
was no nonsense before the police chief. He was cited for numerous infractions
that included the followings: resisting arrest, DUI, no valid driver’s license,
drag racing, screaming and using the F word at the police officer, and smoking
marijuana. After the citations were read to him, he was assigned a jail cell.
Bieber’s descent into bad behavior
started several months before the Miami Beach episode. He was photo’d smoking
pot at a Newport Beach hotel. He threatened to beat up a London journalist. He
spit in his neighbor’s face. He faced accusations of reckless driving in his
gated community. He got caught on camera urinating in a restaurant mop bucket. According
to the Miami Beach police report, he swore repeatedly at the officer who stopped
him. He refused to cooperate with a pat-down. He later admitted he smoked
marijuana and drank a couple of beers. After deputies searched his mansion for
felony vandalism investigation, Bieber was allegedly accused of egging his
neighbor’s house to the tune of $20,000 in damages. All of this reveals that
the 19-years-old pop star is a badly tarnished idol.
Justin Bieber has brought all of his
grief on himself. Fame and fortune were not kind to him. Fame and fortune at
the age of 19 became a curse. He just could not handle them. How he is going to
repair his life anyone’s guess. He must start by bringing God into his life and
realize the Christian way of living is the only and the best way, and the
sooner he does that, the better it will be for him.
