From left to right; Kanye's assistant, Kanye and the pap
Kanye ‘Permanently Distressed’ West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. PST today, at LAX Airport – Los Angeles, for ‘bitch-ass-ness’ in the first degree [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
For those who don’t speak ‘legal-ese’, ‘bitch-ass-ness’ that is fancy people talk for felony vandalism and battery. In this case, for allegedly smashing up people’s shit and seemingly roughing them up.
The 31-year-old rapper is being charged for battery and vandalism – the alleged reason being due a photographer trying to take photos of him at the American Airlines terminal. West allegedly confronted the pap and smashed his camera to the ground.
A TMZ videographer was taping this entire ordeal, so when West realized, he rushed to the camera man and yelled, “Gimme that f—ing tape!”
Both West and his assistant were arrested.

According to TMZ:
Erik, our cameraman, is on his way back to our offices now, after being interviewed by LAX Police. Here’s what happened that led to Kanye West’s vandalism arrest at LAX.
Erik says he was at Terminal 4 (American Airlines) when he noticed a still photog taking several pictures of Kanye West. Erik says West rushed the photog and grabbed his camera. A struggle ensued and the still guy was screaming, “Police, help!” Erik says Kanye then took the still camera and threw it on the ground, breaking it into pieces. (Click here to see the video).
This is where it gets crazy. The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That’s when Kanye lunged toward him and said, “Give me the fu***ng videotape.” Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik.
Why didn’t ‘Ye retaliate the way he usually does… wait until he gets home and then ANGRY CAPS BLOG IT, like a mudder funker!
Do you think West’s actions were justified? Vote now!

Chriss last blog post..meet jimmy fallon…
Chris – you slay me! Really, the pleasure’s all mine.
That’s what celeblogs are for
There should be at least a handful of posts you like each week. Can you please make me a tiny promise – don’t be a stranger? After all, what’s a snark filled blog, without quality snark? Gotta love it!
Poor guy. dont blame him one bit
AmyOopss last blog post..Moment of Silence
Hi Amy – nice to see you again
Interesting POV. He’s not getting much sympathy elsewhere in the blogosphere!
Not sure I’d react differently either, if stalked 24/7.
I don’t blame him for being fed up with photographers, of them can be down right nasty. However we are big boys and girls and have to play nicely, it is not like he just covered up the camera, he smashed it to bits.
So really all of my sympathy for him is throw out the window when he decides to act that way.

I agree to a large extent. We are (presumably) all raised to be rational human beings.
As AmyOops says, we all have a breaking point though.
Maybe a bad hair day pushed him over the edge or something
“Can you please make me a tiny promise – don’t be a stranger? ”
sadly i can make no such promise. while i must say since i hooked up my internet connection at work i’ve had much more time to spew my venom and “humour” the interest will eventually die out. it’s the circle of life. *cue elton john*
“After all, what’s a snark filled blog, without quality snark? ”
it’s called http://www.thatguyoverthere.com
(YES! shameless self deprecating plug)
Sob, sob… I’m so sad now. There are so many pretenders and so little class. What will we do without you?
Anyhoo – don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out (lols
)
Does that mean you may quit your own blog?
quit? never. forget about it for months, been there done that. “really want” to post and fail to, been there too. it’s active as long as it interests me.
