Comedic actor Seth Rogen sparked a Twitter frenzy after he shrugged off Los Angeles criminals breaking into cars, suggesting it's simply part of normal life in a big city.
The viral uproar began when the "Knocked Up" star reacted to a tweet from YouTube personality Casey Neistat, who wrote on Wednesday, "so our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime riddled 3rd world s---hole of a city" and expressed gratitude toward the LA Police Department for arresting the criminal and retrieving all the stolen belongings.
"Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha," Rogen reacted. "It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city."
"i can still be mad tho right?" Neistat asked, adding, "feel so violated."
"You can be mad but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself and I’ve never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken in to," Rogen responded.
"Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat."
Neistat told Rogen he "didn't get any treats" and that the thief had taken decorations for his daughter's seventh birthday party but then asked, "how did you get your car broken into 15 times?"
"I lived in West Hollywood for 20 years and parked on the street," Rogen wrote.
"Also it sucks your s--- was stolen but LA is not some shithole city. As far as big cities go it has a lot going for it."
Critics piled on the wealthy actor for being so dismissive of car burglaries in Tinseltown, many accusing him of being "privileged."

OMG I love your thinking.
ROFLMAO
He reminds me of Jack Black......a big disappointment that never panned out.
It’s amazing to me how he gets all those movie gigs.
He must have something on someone.
“You should take it personally, Seth.
Those weren’t thieves.
They were people who had to sit through your movies.”
ROFL!
His movies are enough to make me set his car on FIRE.
This qualifies as not caring one flying flit about your “neighbor”. That is one of the fundamental problems with mankind and it is amplified in big cities. Having personal property is basic to a person feeling secure. It is heart-breaking to me the reaction when something is stolen from a poor person. It is as if someone has taken their humanity away.
Seems to me that is part of the point in our leftist-run xxxxhole cities: people are made to be an indistinguishable part of a crowd of humanity living in a city, whereas they SHOULD be uniquely valuable individuals who are loved by God their Creator and believers everywhere. God numbers the hairs on our heads.
The further we stray from our Creator, the greater the heartbreak and turmoil in our world. It is not hard to see when you step back and look.
I was born in 1948 in Inglewood, CA. LA wasn’t so bad back then. In grammar school my brother and I would bring our .22 rifles to school and go to the range at Centinnela Park after class. Fast forward to 1980. I’d had enough of that filthy crime-ridden shythole and moved to Sandy, Utah where my wife is from. And I’ve never been happier. LA may not be as bad as Chicago but it’s close. Try coming to my neighborhood and throwing Molotov cocktails and see what happens.
Let’s go Los Angeles.
Let’s go Seth Rogan. Arrogant p****.
How about getting sucker punched on the subway? Or stabbed at the atm? Stepping in human feces walking on a sidewalk? Avoiding hypodermic needles at the park? Cost of living lol.
Rogan’s right. It’s one reason I left Seattle. Heck. I leave my keys in the cars at my house.
Says the guy who can afford a wall around his compound, and private security.
Deemed illegal by dint of colony- or state-level judicial common law rulings centuries ago.
Points for creativity though! 😉
in a DEMOCRAT RUN city
Lol.
“I’m guessing the assh*le has his own private security.”
I’m guessing his days of parking on the street are way behind him. From the internet, which never lies:
“Seth Rogen net worth and salary: Seth Rogen is a Canadian comedian, actor, screenwriter, film producer, and voice actor who has a net worth of $80 million.”
I’m pretty sure that’s still a lot a money.
I worked in West Hollywood 20 years ago for about 18 months ..99 2001... it made the Gayest parts of San Francisco look Straight
Trany hooked everywhere (circle a block at 6am looking for a place to park and the All descend on you thinking you’re looking for a “date”)
User condom, and hypertermic needles laying everywhere in the street and parking lots
Every fast food place counter sealed up like the bank with a bulletproof clear plexiglass
Seeing the places you work at on “Cops” several times
Even found live ammo in the gutter
My favorite... Seeing full size Billboard for NAMBLA
And this was 20 years ago
Parking on the streets years ago carried some risk - but not like today... And I suspect he didn’t make his 80 million in the last few months...
He’s just a jerk.
It’s safe to say Rogen isn’t parking on the street any longer.
“He’s right, it is normal in big cities.”
Crime rates have been that way in many west coast big cities for 5+ decades.
What is happening in schools in many cities on the west coast has been happening for 3+ decades.
Life in any place today is based on choices re where we live, work and send our kids to school.
If it were HIS car, this moron would feel differently.
A buddy and I shared an apartment in San Francisco in ‘73-’74. He bought a brand new Harley Sportster. I think it lasted about four weeks on the San Francisco streets before it got boosted. It was the last motorcycle he owned.
It’s never a big deal........
.........Until it’s YOUR car.
RLTW
The mob controlled the town I grew up near. It was known for illegal gambling and prostitution back in the 50-70’s
You could walk down the streets at 2 am with money hanging out your pockets and no one would bother you.
The mob ran out of town thieves and criminals who caused sh^t.
Good old Big Bill Lias and Paul Hankish did not take crap.
