There are a lot of people pleased by the fact that pop singer Justin Bieber didn’t just slide through the cracks with his latest run-in with the law. However, one man opted to personally share his relief with the world.
Former New York Jets wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson couldn’t be more relieved that the 19-year-old was finally arrested for his reckless antics.
While his personal stance may seem a bit cruel to some of the devoted “Beliebers,” there’s a reason for his lack of sympathy toward the “Beauty and the Beat” singer.
For those who don’t know, Johnson and Bieber were actually neighbors in the upscale gated community in Calabasas, Calif where the singer resides. However, that was until the 3-time Pro Bowl star recently sold the home to reality TV couple Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
A number of media outlets, notably Yahoo! OMG, have also reported that the troubled singer was one of the reasons Johnson opted from the gated community, as the two haven’t exactly gotten along well as neighbors.
Now, with Bieber’s latest arrest in Miami, which was ironically for speeding, Johnson couldn’t be more pleased given he also accused the singer of speeding at one time.
The ESPN analyst took to Twitter with his feelings about the singer’s latest run-in with the law.
They finally caught HIM! Glad no one was hurt, no kids in the street. Everyone grows up at some point. Hopefully he learns from it.

The scary part is grown adults who are w/ him aren't protecting him from himself! All looking for a quick buck. Learning experience for all

One notable dispute between Johnson and Bieber that garnered public attention took place on Memorial Day last year. Johnson actually confronted Bieber whom he accused of speeding in his Ferrari through the residential area while his small children were outside playing.
He even went so far as to drive over to Bieber’s home and personally confront him. The dispute basically went unresolved as their opposition didn’t end there. However, Johnson did make an attempt to reach out to Bieber after his home was raided by police, but to no avail. Unfortunately, Johnson’s efforts were rebuffed.
