Chris Brown Fears Death Threats

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 Like most of these comments I believe Chris Brown thinks he is above the law. He may think Rihanna made me mad...MEEE Chris Brown and I was entitled to beat her...Still I don't believe in death threats they both came out of that provocation alive. I do hope the courts fine him and give him community service to show young people especially that this is not the way to handle a disagreement.

body Listen to you guys.. your saying it's ok to give death threats. That's almost as bad as beating a girl. We all know what he did was wrong, but lets all grow up a little bit, it's not ok to give death threats. As far as im concerned, you guys should be scared of your self's for justifying death threats. wow.

body ROCK

Everyone seems to forget she hit him in the head with a high heel shoe while he was driving.....I am not saying you should beat women but, there have been cases where people have died by this kind of attack. It takes 2 to tango, she isn't innocent in this.

body Who are we to judge as stated before. None of us was there so who really knows the truth. Also mentioned before, there was two people involved. What responsibility is the female taking for all of this. People are always quick to label the male as the bad person. I'm a female and I always believe there is 3 sides to a story. I'm not saying what Chris did was ok but thats not our business. If it was just some average joe off the street, would it really go to this level?? Whatever punishment is placed upon him, thats something he will have to deal with...punishment could come anyway, guilt, time, etc...My personal thought is because the female in this case is extremly pretty and very popular, society feel like they need to get involved. An average woman thats not so pretty is pushed to the side. We have no place to threaten to take anyones life...

body I agree with Pepie....he is a human being! What man has the authority to take a person's life? Some of you should read the story in the Bible when the woman who committed adultry was brought before Jesus to be stoned. Jesus replied, "Those of you without sin cast the first stone." When He looked up, her accusers were gone! If we want to be forgiven for things that we do or have have done in life.....who are we to not forgive others?

body In the wake of the senseless violence that has happened in the last couple of weeks I would hope that people think before made comments about wishing harm on this young man or any other person. No, I am not a fan, however, he is young and hopefully will learn from his mistakes.

body i'm all for vigilantes, especially when defending "underdogs" (children, women, elderly, animals). that is not to say that women are weaker just not evenly matched when it comes to fighting a man unless she has special skills. however death in this case might be a bit severe. maybe just a good whooping should come first.

body What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? White and light will bruise easily so the bruises do not prove that she was bruitally attacked. If you've ever watched "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" LynnWhitfield's character placed bruises on herself to make it appear as if she was attacked by her lover. If you've ever watched "Fatal Attraction" Glenn Close's character did some unusual things as well, including harming herself. Everyone is in agreement that domestic violence is always unacceptable...but No one knows what happened between Rhianna and Chris but the two of them. They are both young and will make bad decisions. Let the court system and the two of them work this out and finish living your own individual lives. Rhianna is a beautiful person and so is Chris. Beautiful people mess up too. Please.....let it go! Keep making beautiful music Chris and Rhianna.
