Blink 182's Travis Barker attacked two paparazzi photographers as he exited The Commons shopping center in Calabasas. The incident stemmed from Travis being approached by a paparazzi who aggravated him while he was walking inside the shopping mall with his daughter in his hands. During the incident, Travis got so mad that he started to hit the guys camera, with his daughter still in his hands, and made threats towards the paparazzo. He screamed things like "I'll kick the sh*t out of you!" and "If I didn't have my little girl in my hands...you'd be f*cked" and then told the guy to give him an hour, for what, to gather his troops to come help him kick some paparazzi butt.

Travis Barker kept to his promise and after having lunch with his kids, he had his tattooed buddies meet him up, ready for a battle. The problem was that Travis and his crew got the wrong paparazzi, and the paparazzo that he had the altercation with earlier, was actually hiding in his car taking video of the incident.
It is clear that Travis and his crew came with criminal intent, not just because of the threats, but because one of them was most likely carrying some sort of a knife. After all, how was one of Travis' friends able to slash two of the paparazzo's tires before trying to getaway. It is obvious that the paparazzo that had the altercation with Travis inside the mall, was out of line and should of left Travis alone seeing that he was so angry, but it gives Travis Barker no excuse for his behavior. Not only to threaten, but to fully gather your troops to come help beat somebody up is not O.K. Especially when his kids are just feet away in his SUV. The paparazzo was completely out of line and should of stop taunting Travis, but Travis Barker is the celebrity. Having your picture taken comes with the job, just like the wonderful perks we all are so envious about.
