Who cares? She deserved it and had it coming to her. SHE is the one to blame for all the attention she gets. Paris has done a lot of stupid crap and getting a DUI deserves punishment. She needs to serve her sentence like everyone else.

Umm, her whole "career" is based around drawing as much attention to herself as possible. With the good comes the bad - she deserves this in every which way by thumbing her nose at the law. Boo hoo for poor wittle Paris :roll:
 
You mess with the bull, you get the horn.

One teeny tiny step forward towards the regaining of fair and equal treatment for all.
 
obviously some have difficulty reading the title of the post.
id suggest one of the many other woohoo threads to spread venom.
 
LOL!

If she had half a brain, she would have used this as her advantage by serving the time quietly.

Paris Hilton obviously lives in a totally different world than the rest of us. She has been given everything on a silver platter and thumbed her nose at everyone, including the justice system. I for one am glad to see her put in her place. Maybe it will straighten her out!

ask yourself.
how fair and equal would it feel it it were you or me being told we could serve our debt via house sentence after going to jail for 3 nights.
then, be dragged back into jail two days later to fulfill the sentence?


doesnt seem fair to me at all.
 
I thought this was a sarcastic/joke thread at first . . . judging from the OPs other posts in this thread, i guess not.

While I agree that the media is devouring her . . . I find it hard to feel sorry for her. Maybe this whole ordeal will straighten her out and she can actually be of use to society as opposed to endanger society with her reckless and ridiculous ways.

Anyone else get reminded of the OJ chase when the helicopter was following the cop car?

LOL! I am enjoying your comments, please keep it up.
 
You have got to be kidding me? This is somebody who RECKLESSLY drove DUI. Not once. Not twice. But 3 times at least... those are the times she's been caught. She doesn't even know how to fill up her car with gas. She doesn't even REALIZE there's a fuel meter in her car to let her know when she's about to run out of gas. And yet she's driving?

She's rich. She's famous. That's fine, and all the more power to her for being able to exploit no talent into celebrity status, but hopefully she'll learn her lesson here.

She's in solitary confinement. She's not going to get raped. She's not going to get beaten. Heck, she's not even going to meet another inmate. She has to do a few weeks of being alone (and i doubt she'll be doing much of that... i'm sure she's going to have lots of visitors), whoopie-doo.

Cornballer's salty tears are delicious.
 
It goes without saying that no celebrity should get special treatment in the eyes of the law. But the converse is also true: None should get "let's set an example" treatment, either.

Geraldo Rivera is on Fox News (of all places) saying that he's challenging ANYONE to show him someone sentenced the way she was for the exact violations. No one has risen to the challenge. In other words, she's getting a far harsher sentence than everyone else for the same set of circumstances.

Fair is fair. She could have just as easily learned a tough lesson by doing tons of dirty community service; stuff she isn't used to doing, even on the Simple Life. 45 days in jail is ridiculous for her. You can harp all you want about how spoiled she is or how she leads a charmed life, etc., but that makes no difference, and it's not germane. It just makes people revel in her demise. Hey, if that's a quality you're proud to own, be my guest; that's on you.

Releasing her early is certainly not without precedent in LA County. Read:

"In fact, the loss of bed space in the jails has resulted in a reduction of capacity from its recent peak 22,214 to its present 17,400. This reduction has forced the Sheriff to release thousands of inmates from the jails before completing their sentences."

I've spent a night in jail, thank you, and it's no place anyone wants to go to, much less someone who obviously can't handle it, like her. I am far from saying she shouldn't be punished. I AM saying this judge had many options available to him that would have taught her the lesson she so badly needed while not including jail. With gangs running rampant in LA spreading drugs and violence (and remaining free from incarceration), give a moment to think about the priorities here. It's ludicrous.
