Obviously after today's cab incident, we first of all are relieved Rob is okay. But it does put the attention on what role do we the media, paparazzi and fans, played in what happened in New York. While the original source of the report Radar Online  put the blame on the fans, we also heard from a fan who was there.

This is what she exclusively told RobPattzNews: 

"Everyone was waiting outside for Rob. At this time there were only about 5 or 6 fans and one paparazzi. Rob came out and as usual he had his hood up, was covered by an umbrella, and surrounded by about 6 guards. The girls were all following behind Rob and because of the commotion, a few people on the streets may have also been following or looking. NO ONE even tried to touch Rob, & from what I could tell, no one was even snapping pictures in his face except for this one paparazzi who had been hanging around outside the building all day. He was crouching on the ground snapping pictures behind Rob's umbrella, Rob was hiding his face. Some of the security guards were moving very quickly, causing their little circle that was protecting Rob to break up. Soon one guard was guiding Rob by the shoulders and led him across a street where there was a red light and moving traffic. I was right behind him at this point and saw the entire thing happen. The cab was coming quickly but saw them jump in front of it, so the cabbie slammed on his breaks. Rob was tapped a little in the hip, but they kept going. Rob then went into his trailer. The security guards were yelling at everyone and saying everyone was chasing him, but really no one even tried to touch him and there were honestly about 10 people absolute maximum trying to see him. Then the guards also made the fans move away from the trailer but let that obnoxious paparazzi stand outside of his trailer so he could snap pix the next time Rob came out. Its unfair that these people would blame the fans outside. First of all, there were only about 6 girls and none were crazy teenagers. No one yelled to him or tried to touch him at all. The security guard apologized afterwards for flipping out, he said that they were just trying to be overly cautious after Monday's fan incident".

According to E Online's Ted Casablanca this is what Summit sources told him following what happened in New York. We are not a fan of Ted's pitchfork mentality. Then again who is to blame? the fans for not knowing their boundaries?, the paparazzi for continuously snapping pictures of Rob?,  the media (us) for reporting on anything and everything Rob?, or Summit for not providing enough security for a star that has proven to draw masses everywhere he goes?  

We think we can all share the blame. Let today's incident be a wake-up call to all of us, that this is a man that is just trying to do what he loves and inspires him most, and letting us follow his progress. And as People Magazine is reporting, always appreciative of his fan base.  

We feel that up to now, RobPattzNews has been careful when putting out information without jeopardizing his work or safety. But we'd like to hear from you.

This is the time to unite as fans that we are of Rob, and come up with solutions and a call for action.  In the coming days if not sooner, no doubt Summit will be reassessing how they can better secure Rob in the future. We hope that we won't EVER have to report on an incident such as today's.
