Noted domestic abuser and pop star Chris Brown went into attack mode after twitter-er and writer Jenny Johnson (who has been pecking away at Brown for a while now) trolled him yet again.

After using “shart” in the most elegant of ways and aiming a number of vile tweets at Johnson, Brown deleted his twitter account. I will admit, I think it’s funny when comedians “get to” people who are ultra-famous. Props to Mitt Romney for not breaking in the face of @robdelaney.

Harris, a Brooklyn-based writer, was arrested with hundreds of other Occupy members during a mass march across the Brooklyn Bridge last fall. The case has focused attention on a number of murky legal questions surrounding the use of social media, including whether users own the content they post publicly and whether companies like Twitter can prevent authorities from using that information to prosecute social media users.
