Vancouver, BC-
Pop star sensation Justin Bieber is reaching out to the man who was recently assaulted by the Vancouver Canucks Rick Rypien, in the hopes of being able to lend some support during a dark time.
"Yo, I know what it's like to be assaulted, yo. Once I was going to a concert, and these fans, they be mad frothing, yo, and they reached out and one of the grabbed my arm. My arm, dog. So they yanked my arm and I stumbled into the barricade. Straight out stumbled. It was not cool. My arm had a red mark on it and it was throbbing slightly. I didn't think I'd be able to go on. Luckily I managed to pull it together, suck it up, and go on to do my perforomance, but I still think about it to this day of how close I was to possibly getting two red marks, maybe THREE red marks on my arm."
Bieber talked further. "So, recently I was doing lazer tag, yo, and this kid, he comes up to me and says "you're a ***." Then two more of his friends say the same thing to me. So, I mean, what else yo, am I going to do? All I could think of was when I stumbled into the barricade. All I could see was metal, yo. I froze. I thought I was a goner, straight up. But then I realized. I'm the victim here. Me. Not them. Me. I'm the one who is being hurt here. I mean, yeah, being super rich is nice, but being called names? Money can't fix that. Nothing can. So I stood up for myself and I slapped their arm away. Then I ran for my life, calling my manager."
"It was at that point I realized how bad bullying can be. I wondered how many people out there have been touched and possibly had red marks left on them? I knew I had to do something, yo. So I got a campaign going yo. And when I heard about this playa, and how that Ryppit guy attacked him and sh*t? I knew I could help. I knew I could get him through this. So I phoned him up and on the spot yo, I invited him to concert. Balcony seating. Near the back. This way he knows that bullying isn't cool, and that Justin Bieber, he don't stand for that. Baby baby baby nooooooooooooo he don't. Word to yo mother."
