Yes, it actually does interest me.
I want to see if a small town court will be swayed by his fame. If you or I intentionally used a deadly weapon (his truck) to assault anyone WE would be in jail for at least a year.

what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? UDHITIT...i like the point you make though, about how much of a role his "fame" will play in this case.
mariposa...you're right about privacy, but all court cases are public record and because he's a celebrity that makes him a public figure. unfortunately, the "media" frenzy comes with the territory.

They say our justice system is an "innocent until proven guilty" system. But many defendants are treated "guilty until proven innocent."

I would never infringe on another person in public without asking their permission. To do so is just plain rude ... especially a person whose life has not exactly been serene.

Gary Coleman's parents blew the money he made on the show. He never had a realistic childhood and didn't learn how to handle his temper. Now he has a Mommy Dearest instead of a wife (I'd never treat a child or my husband the way she was treating him).

If anything, I feel sorry for him and what he has to endure.

David,
You have no idea how true that is ... especially when challenging the status quo.

I am often atonished at the lack of empathy human beings seem to have for other people.

This Gary Colmen feliow once a star and now the laughing stock... I am betting that just about anyone in the same circumastances would not want the public taking pictures... hence making a scene and pointing him out.

I just cant imagine someone being soOOO CREEEEPY! as to take photos and follow this guy out of the building instgating the intire matter.

Celebrities thrive on attention. When attention is needed for a movie or a project then anything and everything that draws attention is welcome and encouraged.

Unfortunately there is no switch to turn off the attention when a celebrity has finished using the public and now does not want to be bothered. One of the downsides of that profession I would guess.

If Mr. Coleman wants to live a quiet life, then I wish him the best. I believe Mariposa is absolutely correct that politeness dictates that you should ask to take a picture of a person. However, shouldn't being polite also dictate that you do not send a bodyguard over to take away a camera or try to charge for the picture.

Did anyone else find it very strange that the lady was holding Mr. Coleman by the wrist and pulling him almost the entire segment?

Mariposa,
I did not realize that it was his wife who asked to be paid.

So, to correctly assign the blame:
I blame myself for not finding out more about the circumstances before commenting.
I could blame Ninevah for doing the story, but she is correct that he is a public figure and (some) people are interested. Perhaps the blame lies with the people who spend their lives following someone else's life.
I blame the wife for being very tacky (pay me for a picture) and acting creepy dragging her husband around.
I blame Rushton for being a jerk and not allowing someone to bowl in peace.
And finally I will blame Gary Coleman for not controlling his temper. Heck for all I know he probably got a better score than I ever did in bowling and thus hurts my self esteem. I will blame him for that too.

Not the least although I appreciate you waking me up this morning, that back massage and foot rub really hit the spot.

I am not a fan of celebs but I don't feel sorry for photographers that get hurt taking photos of stars even after be asked not to. Respect people and you don't get hurt nine times out of ten. stalking these people should not be tolerated anymore than an average Joe stalking someone. Regardless of there fame they are entitled to some privacy.

You got more litter on the lawn than the price of that concaucsion.
