Chris Brown upsets his L.A. neighbors with painting on his wall

Chris Brown has drawn criticism from his neighbors over the murals he had painted on a curbside wall at his home in the Hollywood Hills.

The Los Angeles Times reports that local residents are complaining that the images in the street art-style murals are too scary. "There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they're literally frightened," Hollywood Dell Civic Association president Patti Negri told the paper. "It's like devils on the wall - big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we're used to."



L.A. city code officials responded to the neighbors' complaints by citing Brown for unpermitted and excessive signage, with possible fines starting at $376. They ordered him to remove the painting within 30 days, after which the fines could rise.

Chris Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, said that Brown planned to fight the city over the murals. "They are trying to suspend the First Amendment," he said.

Geragos also accused Brown's neighbors of harassing the singer. "I'm scared of neighborhood busybodies like this," he said. "They've called animal control. They have sicced parking (enforcement) on him, and now they reached the heights of ridiculousness here. Shame on them."

Chris Brown might not be everyone's cup of tea but these people are just closet racists/class#("ists")..Their grudge is just that an inner city boy is able to live the American...Let him live his life and stop harrassing him using small children when they are the ones actually disturbed by the graffiti..it is his house and he can do what he wants with it..

The "First Amendment" has been abused by Americans to promote their selfish ideas. He would go to court and i will guarantee he would win because it is his house and he has to right to do whatever to it.

If everyone that bought a house could paint whatever they wanted on the outside walls then we would have a very ugly world, because some people will use the chance to paint pornographic images, racist symbols, etc.....so yeah, you got my point! If Chris Brown is allowed to do it, then everyone should start doing their own, we will see how it will end up looking like!
