Remember that riot by tweens that broke out in a Long Island mall back in November over Justin Bieber? 

To recap, some 3000 people showed up for a signing session, the crowd became unruly (10 – 12 year old girls can be vicious), some fool yelled out that they saw Beiber in a store and pandemonium ensued.

Now it looks like Bieber’s manager Scott “Scooter” Braun is taking the fall for the fiasco, along with James Roppo, a senior VP at Island Def Jam records, Bieber’s label. 

Police had asked Roppo to send out a Tweet cancelling the event.  None ever was.  When the police contacted Braun, he told them he had no access to a computer and was in a meeting.  Once Roppo was arrested for being uncooperative with authorities, child endangerment, and obstruction of  governmental administration, he contacted Braun, who sent out a couple of messages to cancel the event.  

The mob broke up shortly there-after and five people ended up going to the hospital, although no one was seriously injured. 

Roppo’s case is still pending, while Braun could spend a year in prison if found guilty.  With a nick-name like Scooter, he could become quite popular in there.  Although some would saya year is not nearly enough time for unleashing Justin Bieber and his “music” on the world.
