James Roppo, a music executive has been arrested because he failed to tweet! So whether it was a fail whale or a fail to tweet, his act of not tweeting a very important message was an illegal act according to the cops.
The whole story started when thousands of fans gathered to salute a “don’t know from where in hell” teenage pop singer called Justin Bieber at the cloth store Justice at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. Seeing the number of fans who were excited and screaming, the police asked the singer’s record label to tweet a message to calm down the fans. James Roppo in fact at first tweeted several tweets to tell fans that the singer was signing autographs there.
The situation was becoming dangerous for both the fans and the singer but Def Jam Records failed to tweet the message to calmed down the fans upon the cops orders. Well whether he failed to tweet the message of the police or he didn’t do it deliberately is another question that Nassau County Police will have to investigate.
However Def Jam records vice President, James Roppo has been arrested for not abiding to police request, misdemeanours, including endangering the welfare of children and obstructing governmental administration!

Somebody sent me a reply, cant remember their screen name, but here is my response to you. What does a carjacking have to do with this little wimps mini concert at a record store? …YES if I did see a carjacking happening I would do everything in my power to stop it. I would even try to kill the car jacker if I could rather than let him escape, a tire iron, a hammer, a rock, anything handy. Our society would be much better off if people quit turning their heads away from things like that & saying “it’s not my problem” because they are lazy, or a coward.

The police’s job is not to protect you but to investigate crimes and be liaisons between you and the court. It is our own responsibility to protect ourselves. They are responsible to help protect society and have the right to disburse an unruly crowd. They do not have the right to cancel an event. They should have planned better. (Everyone)

On June 27, in the case of Castle Rock v.

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN FOLKS AND GOVERNMENT BODIES ARE REFUSING TO PASS THE Safety Ordinance.

Thus by a rather bitter irony she was required to rely for protection on the City of NY which now denies all responsibility to her.”
