Jake Paul Annoys Neighbors By Setting Pool On Fire

There goes the neighborhood.

YouTube star Jake Paul has made a name for himself on Vine and YouTube by performing Jackass-style stunts and pranks with abandon, garnering more than 8.6 million subscribers in the process. However, when he brings his work home with him, filming videos in his quiet Los Angeles neighborhood, his neighbors are less than impressed.

KTLA 5 news reports that Paul's neighbors have had enough of his antics, which include filling his empty pool with furniture and setting it ablaze. Apparently, they are tired of sounding off in the comments below and are considering a class-action lawsuit against Paul for turning their neighborhood into a "war zone."

Since moving onto the street, Paul has begun filming his videos in his house, destroying property and attracting large crowds. People (mostly young girls and their parents, according to the report) have poured in to see Paul, who has not been very discreet with the address, in action.

“We used to be a nice, quiet street, and now we’re just this war zone,” said Paul's neighbor Maytal Dahan. “We’re families here and we’re more than happy to have them live here if they’re respectful of their neighbors, but they’re not.”

Paul, as expected, thinks it's pretty cool that everyone's paying him so much attention. While he says he feels bad for his neighbors, he took to Twitter to proudly post a portion of his interview with KTLA, which ended with a quick dab before asking of the eternal question, "What are those?"

What are those, indeed.

The neighbors have scheduled a meeting with city leaders to discuss Paul's behavior. This may lead to a class-action public nuisance lawsuit against Paul and the owner of his property.

Time will tell if they'll rate and review Paul in court. In the meantime, the controversy has boosted the star's profile even higher, even though he thinks everyone should move on already. In fact, he thinks that people shouldn't even be concerning himself with his stunts when "innocent ppl r getting shot everyday."
