Fans React to Justin Bieber Kidnapping, Murder Plot on Twitter

Fans..and non-fans...of pop superstar Justin Bieber have taken to Twitter in their reaction to a foiled plot to castrate and kill the teen heartthrob that was foiled by police.

New Mexico police announced Wednesday that they had uncovered a plot by Mark Aaron Staake, 41, and his nephew Tanner Ruane, 23, to kidnap Bieber in late November after he finished performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The plot included kidnapping and killing Beiber, his bodyguard and two others, for which Staake and Ruane were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and other charges.

While neither Bieber, who was in Burbank, Calif. on Thursday visiting "The Ellen Show" starring Ellen Degeneres, nor his representatives have issued any statement on the matter, the Twitter world has exploded with comments on the bizarre plot.

"Really messed up some guys plotted to kill Justin Bieber when Chris Brown is still just walking around," tweeted Lauren Reeves.

"Apparently someone wanted to murder Justin Bieber. What's even weirder is that this is considered news," tweeted Maxim Magazine.

"[Y]ou either have to be SOOO bored with your life or incredibly STUPID to try and kill Justin Bieber," wrote a user named Jessicaaa, with the address of @BiebersOnlyGirl.

"WHAT KIND OF MONSTER FOILS A PLOT TO CASTRATE JUSTIN BIEBER?" wrote one user with the Twitter handle of "michael."

One Twitter user named kidrauhl wrote, "Murder Plot Against Justin Bieber: My dear Beliebers its with a saddened heart I give you this news."

"i can't imagine my life without Justin Bieber.If something wrong happens to him i will be hearthbroken," another user named "drew" wrote.

"You wanna hurt my idol....watch out bro cuz you'll have to go through 31 + million of us first," a person calling themselves Pavneet Bieber tweeted.

"Damn there really was a plot to kill Justin Bieber! Just a sick sick world we live in!!" was Twitter user Nick Amato's reaction.

One user, Alex in Chains, couldn't help but to make a joke regarding the situation with this tweet: "There was a conspiracy to castrate and kill Justin Bieber. A man was apprehended with pruning shears. Don't really need a joke here, do I?"
