X17 XCLUSIVE - Protests Threaten Security At Hospital Where Angelina & Twins Are In Nice

Protesters yelling chants, calling for justice just outside of Angelina's super-protected private hospital window may have woken up Brad, the new mom and their babies this evening ...

Residents in Nice protested this evening outside Lenval Hospital, speaking out against what they say is the mayor's undue attention to a celebrity birth over the murder of a local youth which, they say, received little attention from officials in the southern French city.

The local family, originally from North Africa, told X17 video cameras they demand justice for their 22 year -old son who was stabbed. The crowd chanted "We want justice!" A protester added that city officials have not paid attention to the boy's murder and that they have not been allowed to return his body home.

The man said Nice's mayor, Christian Estrosi, has been "celebrating the birth of the twins with Brad Pitt, meanwhile there has been no murder investigation and the killer [of the 22 year-old boy] is still running free in the city."

Protesters became enraged and some even tried to enter the hospital. Anti-riot police were brought in and Brad and Angie hired three extra bodyguards to secure the hospital.

Could this be a wake-up call for Brangelina? We respect the couple's charity work on philanthropy but is the spectacle of their children's birth and their $70 million-dollar French chateau overshadowing a country's own, more important news? No doubt it is, but is that Brad and Angelina's fault or ours, the media's?

Maybe the couple will donate some of the $11 million they're rumored to be getting for the kids' pix, to this poor family.
