From the San Fran Chronicle: Police say a paparazzo was hit by a car and killed after taking photos of Justin Bieber's white Ferrari on a Los Angeles street.
Los Angeles police Officer James
Stoughton says the photographer, who was not identified, died at a hospital
shortly after the crash Tuesday evening. Stoughton says Bieber was not in the
Ferrari at the time.
The sports car was parked on the
side of Sepulveda Boulevard near Getty
Center Drive after a traffic stop. The photographer was struck as he walked
across the boulevard after taking pictures.
Stoughton says no charges are
likely to be filed against the motorist who hit the man.

While I feel sorry for the family and friends of the photographer, I don't feel sorry for the photographer himself.
For some reason, many Americans feel they have a right to intrude on famous people lives- when they go out to eat, go to the bathroom, go shopping, go to a ballgame etc. (just look at Norm's column in the LVRJ, where he reports where famous people and people who think they are famous go shopping or out to eat or to a sporting event)
And the papers like the National Enquirer make money from these idiots who fawn over famous people.
So, prayers for the family and friends and I hope the photographer spends an eternity of people shooting pictures of him when he is eating, driving, going to the bathroom, shopping etc.
