Screaming Paris Hilton Sent Back to Jail

And the clouds parted and the angels sang....

Stole this quote from TMZ website

She could have had a good American attitude. Now what? She's being mistreated because of what, judicial arrogance?

She didn't even receive a DUI conviction and claims she thought she could drive to work. She was arrested after a charity event! This isn't the OJ case in reverse, someone's rights being violated, and we're not Soviet Russia are we?

Judges Ito and Sauer should be censured or something IMHO (along with some other bad judges). Police and Sheriff's deputies do have contempt for court and usually get away with it from my experience, but the Sheriff's a different matter. He's elected.

She could have had a good American attitude. Now what? She's being mistreated because of what, judicial arrogance?

You have got to be kidding me. If anybody is being arrogant here it is her. Let see here:

1. She first, drinks and drives and puts her life and others lives in danger
2. Then, she says, skip this, I don't have to do probation or do my required driver's education
3. Then, she drives without a license
4. Then, she gets some private pyschaitrist to make up some B.S. story about how she isn't "fit" for jail (who is) to get her home probation
5. Then, she (or her publicist) makes a statement that she isn't coming to court and she'll do it by phone!!!

This is ALL ridiculous. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if she just would have paid her stupid fine, and taken the require drivers course, and then not drive on a revoke license. If anybody is being arrogant it is Paris!

As to your number 1, she was convicted of reckless driving in superior court; we're talking law, not fairness for one because of that. On the other hand, my professor taught in a Supreme Court and Constitutional Law class that the Fifth Amendment guarantees fairness. State law can only provide more rights to the individual according to the class besides. Anyway, she wasn't convicted of drunk driving but reckless driving, and she was at the absolute minimum as I've cited before. Why the attack?

As to your number 2, she has consistently stated she thought she could drive to work, and there's a double standard here: Michele Rodriguez, for example, served no time for actually violating probation for two DUIs, where she was convicted and had a much higher blood alcohol level, drove without a licence after conviction, had an accident months prior to her first arrest where she fled the scene (hit and run), got a second DUI after the first, was sentenced to 60 days in LA county jail, and served like 5 minutes. It's a double standard.

As to your number 3, see number 2 for one. Also, why do you authorize misspending my tax dollars?

As to your number 4, what's wrong with that, using a "private psychiatrist" if it's even true?

As to your number 5, it was the court's spokesman who stated she would phone in, not "she or her publicist." One of the many negative media articles even states specifically, "The latest break will make it worse - A spokesman from the Los Angeles County Superior Court has announced that Paris Hilton will be allowed to appear by phone this morning, instead of having to face the judge in person..."

Anyway, it's a tar and feather circus, not justice. It's not something I want to have to work on and shouldn't have to either. I have other things to do that are important, though I hope to get credit with votes and feedback too, and should :). I don't like it on at least some levels though. I guess Socrates would still be executed this day and age.

P.S. the color didn't come out for utilitarian like it did in the preview. Let's see if it does here as it does again show "utilitarian" in red in the preview.

I don't care if it the absolute minimum. It was still drunk driving. And just because she plead no contest does not mean she wasn't driving drunk. And even if she weren't, she still was convicted of reckless driving - by definition reckless driving means you are putting the lives of others at risk.

she has consistently stated she thought she could drive to work, and there's a double standard here: Michele Rodriguez,

And it is still wrong for her too. I would make the same case for her as well.

As to your number 3, see number 2 for one. Also, why do you authorize misspending my tax dollars?

Enforcing the law is not a misuse of tax dollars.

As to your number 4, what's wrong with that, using a "private psychiatrist" if it's even true?

The problem is that no other prisoners are alloted this privilege. No one else gets out of jail because they aren't mentally fit to be there.

As to your number 5, it was the court's spokesman who stated she would phone in, not "she or her publicist." One of the many negative media articles even states specifically, "The latest break will make it worse - A spokesman from the Los Angeles County Superior Court has announced that Paris Hilton will be allowed to appear by phone this morning, instead of having to face the judge in person..."

Either way, it was not the judge, who in this case is the one who makes that call.

But here is my question Vincent. Why in the world do you care so freaking much about this? I have seen your posts on all the Paris Hilton posts and frankly, you have a pretty serious issue with this?

Are you an alcoholic looking for justification for your own driving under the influence?

Do you not respect the legal system enough to realize that if a poor, black woman from the ghetto was convicted of reckless driving, then didn't follow probation, that she would have to serve her full sentence. You want to talk about a double standard.

Vincent, you and Kathy need to start your own support group...you can call it Enablers Anonymous. Your logic isn't just wrong in this situation, but it is detrimental to society.

What is that, a temper tantrum? Again, she was not convicted of drunk driving; she was convicted of reckless driving.

Enforcing the law is not a misuse of tax dollars.

It's a waste of my California tax dollars, not your Georgia peaches!

The problem is that no other prisoners are alloted [sic] this privilege. No one else gets out of jail because they aren't mentally fit to be there.

How would you know? Are you a doctor? A religious nut?

But here is my question Vincent. Why in the world do you care so freaking much about this? I have seen your posts on all the Paris Hilton posts and frankly, you have a pretty serious issue with this?

Well I started participating. I do want votes and comments in my column. I suppose I'm sharing my fickle view too. LOL!

Are you an alcoholic looking for justification for your own driving under the influence?

Now that's a loaded question. You beat your wife or plan to if and when you get one, or are you gay?

Do you not respect the legal system enough to realize that if a poor, black woman from the ghetto was convicted of reckless driving, then didn't follow probation, that she would have to serve her full sentence. You want to talk about a double standard.

In which state? What, at Duke University? I suppose Georgia's different. The law should be applied equally. You also don't mention OJ. He was black and got away with murdering two people here in CA.

Vincent, you and Kathy need to start your own support group...you can call it Enablers Anonymous. Your logic isn't just wrong in this situation, but it is detrimental to society.

Next your comments will make issue of whether the sky is falling because of our "detrimental logic." Who's Kathy?

Any well constructed argument you made following this statement was lost before it began:

She could have had a good American attitude

If self promoting porn films and expletive laced racist tirades are a "good American" attitude, call me a @!$%#ing communist.

I was giving my perspective, not name calling. People say anything they want without thinking of the consequences sometimes. What about a better, "more American attitude," than some of the other celbutantes out there?

I never saw the porno, and she didn't promote it from what I saw in the media. However, now I'd say it's a media circus, so I hope we get better informed.

I think you are trying a little too hard to play devil's advocate here.

She has to be the worst violator on the list of "celbutantes"

She is not some naive girl who is caught in a whirlwind of bad press.

She is also a racist.

What, the eldest always gets the problems in this country? You're threatening her!

No, it's not a threat in the least. Just not very nice.

Now that made me laugh!!

It didn't make me laugh, it made me sad. How is it that a 26-year old can't seem to ween herself off the proverbial teat of her parents. I am 24-years old, and I would expect to be able to handle these conflicts on my own.

Yeah, well thank God we don't live in a utilitarian society.

P.S. the color didn't come out for utilitarian like it did in the preview. Let's see if it does here as it does again show "utilitarian" in red in the preview.

P.P.S. You want to use the "ins" to bring out the color. It still wouldn't help your pathetic arguments.

If it doesn't kill her, it will make her stronger. This disconnect is what the Army calls breakin' em down. I just want to see the person she comes out as (unless she ends up a suicide).

I love that "life approach," but it is contingent upon someone actually realizing they are going through something "hard." If she just aimlessly approaches this as an injustice towards her, and that she is the one who is wronged, it isn't going to make her stronger, it is going to make her @!$%#ier.

Yeah, well, I remember that WWII movie where a character talked about how it was the combat vets who did the least who complained and asked for the most (or something to that effect).

The public has done far more enfeebling of Paris Hilton than her family has. The public condones her doing ridiculous things by lapping it up and consuming it as entertainment earning her $$$ and then punishes her hard when she continues to act stupid but breaks a law doing so. How are you supposed to punish your kid when they are in the spotlight of the entire society and the society is giving her feedback that they want to see her push the envelope? I've always taken a front row seat when it comes to taking care of and raising my younger cousins because we were raised like siblings. Whether that entails physically intimidating one of their friends that is getting into drugs and trying to get them to hang out will people of ill repute or taking the long-range option of spending time with them to influence their behavior away from trouble, if you are related you are responsible. You do what it takes. I'm just glad I didn't have to compete with an entire society urging my cousins on to do something stupid with the promise of fame and riches... that would be almost impossible to combat.
