There have been recent rumors that celebrity Justin Bieber has been looking at buying a mansion in Buckhead, Atlanta. Harold White, the neighbor of the mansion Bieber is looking to buy, did not approve of the rumor once he had heard of it. He believes that a celebrity such as him moving to the area will bring unwanted attention to the neighborhood due to the recent troubles and several encounters with law enforcement that Justin Bieber has gotten himself in to. Knowing what trouble he’s caused lately they’re also afraid of the unsafe environment he could create for the people around him. White and his wife have organized a protest in an effort to keep the celebrity out of the neighborhood in Atlanta. There has also been a Facebook page created by the two to help organize the protest.
