I’ve often said wealthy prominent people need to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves. You don’t need to really do it if you’re just rich, but you absolutely have to do it if you have the money as a famous person.

The world is full of crazy people, and I’m glad to see he’s taking the necessary steps to keep his family safe. If I was in his shoes, I’d have a damn SWAT team surrounding my house.

As for these burglars, if they guilty of robbing the homes of celebrities, I hope justice is swift. You shouldn’t have to live in fear just because you have money or are famous. That can’t kind of environment can’t be tolerated or allowed in any situation.
