Guest TTK Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) This whole travesty is a poor reflection on society as a whole.....bringing out the worst in people....atavistic behaviour that should have been weaned out of us by now...the battle between Sherrif and Judge......posturing to see whose johnson is bigger........the press..... like vultures.....and I mean vultures...carrion feeders....the music / entertainment media are just as bad...inflicting these people on the young and impressionable...holding them up as role models.....for what purpose......the mighty $$$$......the shameless promotion of 'product placement'........everything from Louis Vuitton to Kristal champagne........utilising these people to generate huge profits and the creation of a brand.....Paris Hilton has absolutely no redeeming features.....she has no talent....can't sing ..can't act.......is snobbish and arrogant.....with ideas way above her station....but that's trival compared to the way that people are behaving at this point in relation to this......gleefull....smirking and self satisfied........venting at her...and using her at every opportunity.....for the furtherance of their ends......! What will people say if she commits suicide behind bars.......how will the sanctimonious amongst us feel..... ? Edited June 8, 2007 by TTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 A side note: Nobody in L.A. County who gets charged with driving with a suspended license gets sentenced for a full 45 days in jail. I don't care who you are. The judge wants to be a star. For crying out loud, he's a traffic court judge! But alas, this is Hollywood, ain't it? Another side note: There was a guy standing behind one of the reporters today (at the courthouse) who was wearing a "I Love Paris" hat and was holding up a sign that read: "No Execution!".

ryyannon Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Ultimately, the real losers are those that buy into - either positively or negatively - her carefully-crafted image. She's a master in the fine art of marketing oneself, of getting people to believe what she wants them to believe about her. In the meantime (and her current and very real tears notwithstanding) Paris laughs all the way to the bank: "Last year, the author Naomi Wolf was quoted as saying Hilton is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximenes Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Other inmates are released after spending only a few days of their sentence simply because of overcrowding. Paris did spend some time in jail, her conviction was minor. She should have been allowed to stay at home for the remainder of her sentence. It is not good for any person to have to go through what this woman is experiencing; to be released from jail by the authorities and to be recalled back to jail by other authorities. This can be damaging to any person's psychological well being. Something is very wrong here. Xim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Other inmates are released after spending only a few days of their sentence simply because of overcrowding. Paris did spend some time in jail, her conviction was minor. The celebrity wing she was at was not overcrowded. Her conviction was her second, so that's no longer minor. She already tried to petition the governator to usurp the power of her conviction. She's upset, sure, but it's only 20 days of easy time. It's not 18 months in sing sing. It is not good for any person to have to go through what this woman is experiencing; She broke the law. Should we let her off because Prison is bad?

Pugwash Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Fooled 'ya, didn't I? Not really because I'm aware of the Hiffington Post's previous work. Firstly, this isn't her first parole violation. Sure, she's getting humped over a fairly minor misdemeanour, but are we forgetting her petition to pervert justice? Come on, it's Paris Hilton ...

Xim Martha Stewart did her jail time and it was a hell of allot longer that's Paris's and you never heard a peep out of her ( not that I am a big Martha Stewart fan ) and I still don't understand what crime she committed ? There are to many young girls headed in the wrong direction in Hollywood and I think this is the first wake up call for all of them spoiled little brats !

HauteHippie Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I like the fact the vacuous tart is doing prison time. If I see her crying on the news, it makes me happy. Not only that, but I hope her [censored] friend joins her in the slammer as well. Elated to see Paris back behind bars where she belongs. What kind of message did it send to let her out? Get convicted of DUI, violate probation twice, get off scot free?? This judge is my hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbie Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) COMING NEXT: FAKE WATCH COLLECTORS SERVE TIME AS PER LETTER OF THE LAW! "THEY WERE WARNED, BUT WOULDN'T LISTEN" - FBI AN INDIGNANT NATION APPROVES: NO MERCY FOR LAWBREAKERS!! And the equivalent result to this scenario would be FAKE WATCH COLLECTORS REMANDED TO THEIR HOMES BECAUSE PRISON ISN'T FUN AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT!! PS Watches don't kill people. Drunk drivers do. Honestly, what's your point? Paris Hilton aside, how can people defend the non-application of the law? That serves as zero deterrent whatsoever. Parent - "Hey Billy, if you keep pulling your sister's hair you don't get to watch cartoons for the rest of the week." *little Billy pulls his sister's hair* Parent - "Okay mister, turn that off and go to your room." Billy doesn't like this decision so he starts crying. His parents feel bad so they let him out in a couple hours and tell him he can watch TV again. Yeah, that kid sure is going to learn that there are consequences to his actions... *** And one final point, what qualifications does that sheriff have to make a judgement as to Paris' mental state? Would it be okay for the prison warden to decide it's okay to release an embezzler because he thinks that the guy should go home. Yeah, nevermind what the actual judge (and jury if one were involved) decided. Sorry, but that guy isn't the law. His job is to enforce it.

Guest TTK Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Hit me over the head with a wet fish and call me Hilda......but I was always under the impression that...! A. Police / Sherrifs...Law Enforcement Officers jobs were to protect and serve......catch the bad guys......and lock them up until..... B. A jury of their peers decides on their guilt......then.... C. The judge accepts the verdict of the 12 men and women true...... implements the proscribed penalty as defined on the statute books.......whilst taking into account any extenuating circumstances.....then D. Sends the guilty party to jail.....under the supervision of the Prison Service or delegated authority..( e:g said Sherrif )......whose job is to ensure the humane treatment and rehabilitation of the offender whilst incarcerated and at the same time safeguarding the public at large from the dangers that the guilty party may inflict if released before proper rehabiliatation or justice is served.....SINCE WHEN Did a "fukking POLICEMAN".......decide who and for how long someone stays in jail.....who gave him the POWER to determine whether the sentence that THE LAW imposes is fair or just..........he's there to serve THE LAW.....and society...he's elected to CATCH THE BAD GUYS......NOT to be Judge ....Jury and Executioner......his job is to protect WE....the PUBLIC......! This is once again proof of the 'frontier' mentality that pervades the "UNITED" States.......the legal system is a joke.....law enforcement is corrupt and self serving to the core......same as gubbamint.......it could ONLY happen in the U.S.....a "Sherrif"...deciding who goes to jail and who doesn't....abrogating the decision of the august body of the court.......what's the damn point of having a judge and jury........or statute laws.......!

Bottom line is, every time you purchase a replica watch, you're breaking the law. You may not like the law, you may say that 'watches don't kill people' (mendacious logic) you may not give a flying fuc* about being morally coherent or the ultimatate consequences of your actions - but you're breaking the law just the same.

Thank you!!!!!!! Honestly, I am far from an expert on the legal system. I don't know what power this Sheriff has or does not have to make such decisions, but I somehow don't see him having the power to override the judge's decision without some kind of input from the court. I don't blame the judge one bit for being farking [censored]. I believe that it was even suggested that the Sheriff be held in contempt of court although nothing came of that. I'd just like to add that certain things can be a judgement call by law officers e.g. letting someone off with a warning instead of a fine for speeding or littering. But once you have been sentenced, I don't see how they can make any changes to that verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's ok, 'cause you're you. And of course, you're special. Yeah, I am special. My mom told me so. I never said I wasn't breaking the law (I am quite aware that purchasing replicas is illegal) and that I shouldn't go to prison. Please do not put words in my mouth. My point is, and remains, that there is a law and that law should be upheld*. I never mentioned anything at all about feeling that I shouldn't go to prison if convicted if that were the sentence. You are the one who offered your little "headline" and I countered with what I feel would be the analagous situation to this Paris Hilton outcome (the initial one where she was released). * Yes, I've broken the law numerous times by speeding (which can endanger lives as well). I shoplifted something once when I was in my teens. And so on. It would suck if I got caught speeding too many times and my license is revoked but I don't feel any entitlement that the law somehow shouldn't apply to me. I don't know where you're getting that ridiculous idea from. Projection maybe? I know that I am not above the law and that consequences for my actions should apply to me.

ryyannon Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 It would be great if some of you armchair jurists and wannabe Supreme Court Justices would just do a little further reading into the situation as it exists in L.A. County: "I, too, started to feel aggrieved. Yeah! Make her wear orange! Make her eat carbs! Take away her Blackberry! But it turns out in the L.A. County jail system these days, non-violent offenders serve only about 10% of their sentences because of over-crowding. Lots of people convicted of crimes like Hilton's, driving without a license, serve all time from home to leave room for the murderers and rapists. If anything, Hilton has probably served more time than she would have if she were a nobody." http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1631258,00.html The truth is, you need someone like Paris Hilton to give you a feeling that you exist: that your opinion counts for something, that your feelings matter - that your lives are just as good or better than someone touched by privilege, wealth - and a fair amount of the intelligence needed to milk suckers like you for the attention necessary to maintain that same privilege and wealth. In the end, love her or hate her, Paris Hilton couldn't exist wihout your help - meaning the importance you seem to accord to her, which is probably in direct proportion to your own sense of insignificance. Keep it up, gang - keep on giving - it's as good as gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
