Paul Walker Death: Twitter Users Warn Justin Bieber to Learn From Tragedy

Paul Walker’s death sparked an outpouring of emotion from fans around the globe. The Fast & Furious actor tragically died in a fiery car accident in Santa Clarita, California, on Nov. 30, 2013. Walker was seated in the passenger side of the vehicle, while friend and business partner Roger Rodas was at the wheel. Although Walker was neither driving nor intoxicated at the time of his crash, many have taken to Twitter to compare Walker’s death with the dangerous position that Justin Bieber put himself in, just before he was, allegedly, arrested by police for drag racing and driving under the influence.

According to police accounts, Bieber and R&B singer Khalil Sharieff were drag racing in a yellow Lamborghini and a red Ferrari, respectively, along a residential Miami Beach street. Police approximate the pair to have been traveling at 55 mph in a 30 mph zone, on Jan. 23; SUVs were used to block off traffic to 26th and Pine Tree Drive to facilitate the event. The singing sensation was also charged with having an expired driving license and resisting arrest.

During a brief appearance in court, Bieber was accused of driving while under the influence of marijuana, prescription drugs and alcohol.
Bieber’s actions have sparked great controversy, and divided opinion among the public. Although many of the Baby star’s fans claim they will stick by their idol, others were less impressed by his latest antics. Members of the public have taken to social networking sites to compare Walker’s car collision to the Bieber’s latest, reported, intoxicated actions.

Walker was the passenger of a Porsche Carrera GT, at the time of his death. Some have remarked on the dangers linked to inappropriate use of high-performance supercars. Based upon the report released by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, the pair were estimated to be traveling over 100 miles an hour before they crashed. Although Bieber was traveling at around half the speed of Walker and Rodas, it has been pointed out, on numerous occasions, that Bieber was alleged to have been intoxicated. Twitter users began voicing their personal opinions on the subject:

I hope Justin Bieber realizes how dangerous that was. That was what got Paul Walker killed.
Justin Bieber could have killed someone comment

How come Paul Walker races to raise money for charity and dies but Justin Bieber races under the influence and gets a slap on the wrist?
