Spray paint your titles on walls? that’s called graffiti and it’s illegal (a repeated tagger just got ten years in prison a year ago in Texas) smash a glass again what glass? Yours? Smash it all up others people glass? That’s illegal you know

Sure they are small crimes and most places graffiti will only get a ticket unless you’re a repeat offender altho if the cop is having a bad day he probably will arrest them  and smashing other people’s property will result in probation or a small time in jail along with a civil lawsuit 

you must be a blast at parties

I don't think the only two possibilities are he's drunk or he's an asshole. He was just angry

I'm surprised that's all you are. For pointing out the obvious you're likely a piece of shit too...that kind of thing is known to cause extreme rage in people.

He was angry at the wrong guy. But he was angry because Trump is insane and there were a bunch of people commenting shit. The guy he replied to didn't mean any harm and didn't say anything wrong but Billie was angry and made a mistake. Have you never made a mistake in your life before? I don't think that makes him an asshole. He's never done anything like this before and is generally nice to fans. I don't think the only alternative to this is he's an asshole, he's drunk or he's high.

Also, how is being drunk or high a better excuse for this than being angry?

Ya it got twelve likes because most fans dont just automatically jump to the conclusion he has fallen off the wagon. Why was he angry at the guy who knows maybe he was having a bad day but sure lets just speculate about sobriety instead :ermm:

Grown-ups have bad days,  short tempers and say things they later regret all the time. They do not achieve perfection when they hit a certain age.

I understand why people think it's inappropriate, but it's really not that out of character for him. I mean he wrote songs like Babs Uvula Who, Platypus, Take Back, F.O.D., etc. His temper snaps and he gets himself all wound up :lol:

The point I was making is people make mistakes. Maybe Billie was acting childish but @Hero_Of_The_Hour seems to think that Billie's a prick or that he's drunk/high because of this. I don't agree with what he did but I think that everyone makes mistake, everyone has bad days, everyone gets angry sometimes.

There were hundreds if not thousands of comments on his post, some positive, others negative, some blatantly trolling and others like the guy he attacked just pointing out the obvious. Billie could have ignored all the comments. He could have attacked the obvious trolls and trump supporters. The fact that he instead choose to pick an innocent comment and reply so viciously can't be excused by saying it was just a mistake. Are you suggesting Billie couldn't understand the sentence the guy wrote? It couldn't have been more clear. If he was in doubt he should have ignored it like he did hundreds of other comments. He has had perfectly decent debates/conversations in the recent past about politics on IG while trolls bombarded the comments as usual. You say he has never done anything like this before. He has in fact done something similar before. Way back in 2012 he overreacted to a fans comment in a political post, called him a cunt and blocked him.

As an adult  you have to deal with shit every day and NOT blow your lid. You have to learn to simply ignore an awful lot of bullshit. Billie is a rockstar. His public IG is pretty much an extension of his workplace (to use a boring term) - a platform to reach his audience, his fans, the people who buy his music and gig tickets. At 45 Billie attacking a fan on his public IG over nothing because he's angry about the president (who everyone has to live with) is absolutely ridiculous. It is not something he would normally do as I've said and for a damn good reason. Yes he has done it before once but it was back in 2012 and in hindsight we know he probably wasn't thinking straight when he called that fan a cunt.

You ask how is being drunk or high a better excuse than being angry? I'd ask you is it not better to have a drink, be a little tipsy and write something dumb than to have some sort of anger management issues that result in lashing out at people that have done nothing whatsoever in rage filled rants, telling them to go to hell and calling them stupid pieces of shit?

I've already commented with my "serious" thoughts about proper social discourse etc...but in addition to that, there's also this simple narrative taking place right now.

1. Billie pissed.

2. Billie pissed = inspired Billie

3. Inspired Billie = creative and productive Billie

4. Creative and productive Billie = sick demos in process

5. Sick demos in process = band in studio soon laying awesome tracks

6. Band in studio laying awesome tracks = I'm getting really excited about a sooner than expected album and tour.

So, big win. Here it comes. 2019 will be a big year for all.

Rather depressingly I was having a quick look at Billie's IG, glancing back at some posts I'd missed and under the video of his nephew cutting hair his nephew has gotten into an argument with a trump supporter/troll who said something about wanting his family to crash into a tree at 90 mph. The argument is unfortunately nasty using less than tasteful language with Mateo deleting one comment (or IG deleting it) that referenced Down Syndrome (not in a nice way) :( This has just blown up completely where even Billie's extended family are involved in spatting on his account.

Any adult who claims they've never been irrational, ever, about anything, is lying. I generally don't judge people for isolated incidents of irrational behaviour, because there are hundreds of factors that can influence people, I have no way of knowing about most of them (no matter how much I think I do) and I'm not above admitting I've done it myself. Obviously if someone is doing it on a regular basis then they're probably an asshole, but I shouldn't even have to explain that because it's a completely different thing. I'm pretty sure that's why most others here aren't standing outside his house with pitchforks, not because they're Fangirls™ who'll excuse anything he does.
