The drummer Travis Barker got into an altercation over the weekend that almost turned violent. The drummer was coming out of a restaurant with his children and there they were waiting, flashes going off and scaring the children, this didn’t make Travis very happy and he let them know it.

An altercation proceeded at the police were called to settle matters down although no charges were filed. So, is that part of the life of being a celebrity? You just have to deal with the paparazzi, or do you get all mad and angry when they catch you off guard.

According to sources one of the photographers said some equipment had been damaged but I doubt very much that Travis Barker is going to pay for it, the paparazzi should let people have some peace. It was so awful it scared his children and they wanted to just go home. Travis however was furious and he was going to take it out on someone. Some people don’t mind getting their photos taken and there could possibly be a solution how about asking before snapping off shots? Are these people so desperate for money they have to be so sneaky? You don’t always get what you want in life but it scared his children and they are his life.

People ought to at least let a family eat in peace and enjoy a night without cameras flashing in their face, celebrity or not. Travis admits he is a family man and his children come first, when they get scared that makes him very angry.
