Stalking an idol should be instant life in prison

Gee I wonder who it is

...only if the stalker had a camera (or a phone with a camera), he (or she) could claim to be a paparazzi doing his job.

But what are the odds of that?

Actually, would that excuse fly in the US, if the victim was a celebrity?

Paparazzi isn't a job, it's stalking

This happens all the fucking time and sometimes its even reporters that do it (like from bunshun). Hirate Yurina, Shida Manaka, Kakizaki Memi, more recently Imaizumi Yui.

Hell, the one with Yurina and Memi had a guy with a machete turn up to their handshake event, targeting one of them.

Its a shitty occurence that usually forces them out of the industry.

Even Ava Max and Bebe Rexha were both recently attacked on-stage by concert-goers.

Some fans are just crazy.

I agree, but the law doesn't.

I mean, paparazzi killed Princess Di, and here they still are.
They even chased after her son recently in a high speed car chase, and the media defended the actions of paparazzi as "freedom of speech that every citizens have in the US that British royalties doesn't understand".
