Twitter is the only way to influence the crowd
For the first time in the world, police arrested a man for refusing to post on Twitter. The honor to go down in history belongs to 44-year-old American James Roppo.
James Roppo represents the interests of young pop singer Justin Bieber. It was happening in one of New York's supermarkets, where Justin was supposed to sign autographs. A rather large crowd of fans gathered there (mainly girls aged 11-14 and their parents, only about 3,000 people, according to police), and they behaved quite unbridled, noisy and loud, interfering with other visitors to the store. The security of the supermarket decided to cancel the event, not to let the musician to the fans and stop this disgrace. Although the singer was not allowed, he continued to send messages to the fans via twitter, warming up passions.
Police tackled the topic and asked James Roppo (vice president of record company Island Def Jam Records) to send the crowd another message with a specific request to disperse. To do this, he was offered to use Bieber 's twitter account . James refused and was detained for refusing to cooperate with the police.
Now James Roppo faces a fine or even a criminal case, because the offense is serious. The police believes that with his inaction, he threatened the lives of people.
