I don't hate him. A lot of the things that were terrible were made up. And the things he DID do could be attributed to the fact he's loathed daily for doing something he loves. He's going through his rebellious phase, so he's going to make dumb teenager mistakes, but now he's ridiculed for them by EVERYBODY.

He wasn't born a terrible person, he was turned into one by media and people critical of his work because it's not directed towards them.

So unless he reallly goes off the deep end, I fully understand WHY he's doing what he's doing. He shouldn't NOT be punished, but those who criticize him for doing these things are most likely the ones who drove him to do it in the first place.

Money wont solve being hated, and money wont solve not having a normal teenage life.

So in my opinion, leave the kid alone. Let him do his stuff, and see where he goes. But it's certainly not surprising seeing someone like him go through trouble.

The only reason we enjoy his misery is because his music was mediocre, but that's still awful if you ask me. YES, he should be punished for his crimes, but a lot of us did terrible things when we were young, or will do terrible things. We just don't have millions of people waiting to make fun of us.
