Chris Brown is reportedly paranoid in the wake of credible death threats and has become obsessed with his security, according to a report published in the Chicago Sun-Times. He's beefed up his bodyguard detail to include uniformed and plainclothes guards surrounding him at all times, thanks in part to threats from a group that refers to itself as the Woman's Protection Action League.

If you've seen the movie 'I Shot Andy Warhol,' a scenario like this might ring a bell. The good people at Jezebel were quick to identify this purported group as a new version of S.C.U.M. (Society for Cutting Up Men), after a manifesto written by would-be Warhol assassin Valerie Solanas. (You can pick up a copy for yourself for just $11.25!)

I won't tacitly endorse vigilante justice -- I'm not the Mayor of Philadelphia or Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey -- but Chris Brown's PR team didn't do wonders to rehabilitate his image beyond the initial press release. Since then he's been cavalier about the ordeal on the Internet, and hasn't been a stranger to the social circuit, meeting up with buddies for the NBA playoffs. It's not so shocking then that this form of militance might scare him a little bit. He's used the threats to justify the recently alleged assault on a paparazzo who photographed him playing basketball. It might be a good idea to lay low for a while.

Vigilantism would rob us of a far greater spectacle. I mean, who doesn't want to see Chris squirm while facing Rihanna's steely gaze from the witness stand?

What do you think of the death threats against Chris Brown? Share your thoughts in the comments!

body I think that the worthless little bum should be running scared. After all, he beat up on a woman. Maybe if he ever has a daughter, he will feel the same way about men that choose to be abusive towards women. I don't know Chris Brown but he seems to be a Momma's boy who was never around a responsible male authority figure. I suspect that one day, he'll have his block knocked off.

body I'm glad he's scared. Let him know what it's like to fear someone that used to love you (public). Maybe then he'll understand the horrific betrayal Rihanna felt when someone she loved was beating her and choking her and promising to end her life. He should think on those threats for a good, long while. And he should be feeling fear. I don't even know the guy and I'd kick him if he passed me in the street. I'll bet your Mama's real proud, you piece of weasel excrement.

body I think the press has shown Chris Brown as being far too laissez-faire about what he did. I often take what I see and hear from the press with little regard but I watched the youtube videos and it showed just how immature he is. Not one ounce of of contrition. Like most young people he has that feeling of entitlement. "yea, I did it , so what" I hope the court makes him take responsibility for his actions because he certainly isn't. I do not believe in death threats but with his obvious lack of regard for Rihanna (who he said he loved) and his "don't give a **bleep**" attitude I'm not surprised he has received these threats. Woman who have "survived" brutality at the hands of a man are very militant.

body The little punk should be scared. I wouldnt want anyone to kill him but a good but wupping would do him good. Only a coward and a punk would hit a women. If she made him mad he should of just walked away. But there are always some dumb people who will still support him.

body Everyone is passing judgement on someone who is technically still a teenager and is getting help for himself. He should not have done what he did, that's for sure. But death threats. Like you guys have never done anything wrong. By the way, rememeber that Rihanna is not innocent either. She did start the fight and hit him with a stiletto . Well that would make anyone go off the deep end. Instead of the trash you all are talkin, how about hopes and prayers that the help he is getting will work. To think that you all think death threats are ok! That's what the world has come to. Also, none of us were there . Leave it to the courts and leave them both alone.

body I think Chris Brown is a human being and deserve respect for his privacy. Sure he might be wrong for what he did to his girlfriend at the time, but it is not for us to be the judge and jury of this young man, I think everyone has had some sort of problem in their life, and I am sure he has learned his lesson without threats on his life!
