Chris Brown's superfans are obviously crazy, but this story really takes the cake.
The rapper recently spent a night locked up on felony assault charges after
allegedly punching somebody in the face. It turned out to be a dude who
"photobombed" him while he was posing.
According to the
Washington Post, the charges have since been reduced to just a misdemeanor, and Brown was
let loose.
This definitely was good news to his fans, who were apparently waiting outside the courthouse in support.
Crowds of media and onlookers gathered for the hearing. Arraignment hearings typically start at 1 p.m. and can run for hours. Visitors began lining up in front of Courtroom C-10 before 12:30 p.m. Onlookers took pictures of the lockup list posted on the wall outside the courtroom, showing his lockup number, the charge and his attorney’s name.
Brown’s mother and brother were stuck in line at one point; they were then escorted into a room.
Jasmine Woods, 22, of Northeast Washington and two of her female friends arrived at courthouse holding up posters that say “Free Chris Brown” in large red letters. “He was just protecting himself. He’s too cute to be in DC Jail.”
Here's the thing: people commit crimes. Even people you like. Even cute people. But that shouldn't give them a "get out of jail free" card whenever they break law.
