Paris Hilton is being treated like a goddamn pingpong ball

[Bluebear]

OK, I thought her release showed perfectly the reality of two Americas . . .but now that she WAS released, it does not seem right that the judge is now ordering her back.

She is annoying and cloying, but she is a human being, not merchandise to be shuffled around.

edit note: OK, OK, uncle. I didn't suggest we make a cake with a file in it and spring her.

[firefox_fan]

1. Really? So, since she got out for faking something, now she should stay out?

[Bluebear]

4. You don't know if she was "faking something"

Unless you're Dr. Frist :)

[joeunderdog]

10. Naive or kidding?

Plus who gets released from prison for sick days?

[Bluebear]

13. Nobody.

I said yesterday, send her to the prison clinic and give her some ativan.

But it's not her fault that the celebrity-awed sheriff let her out.

[firefox_fan]

15. Sheriff should go to jail!

[atreides1]

29. "But it's not her fault that the celebrity-awed sheriff let her out."

While this is true, the reality is that she is going to pay for his incompetence, and maybe the people of LA County need to get their heads out of their butts if this guy runs for office again!!!!

But then again that may be asking for too much!!!

[hlthe2b]

30. particularly since she was already housed in their MEDICAL

facility-- doesn't speak well for their medical capacity for other inmates, if they couldn't treat whatever was supposedly inflicting Paris, now, does it? :eyes:

[firefox_fan]

14. Ok, she's fine now, right? So, 45 days.

[Bluebear]

16. OK. And ironically she's served more time already than Laura Bush ever did. nt

[firefox_fan]

20. That's true...

[hlthe2b]

33. Make em bunk mates then....

I'm sure they would have so much in common....LOL

Don't get me wrong, Bluebear... I see what you are saying which sort of is reminiscent of "double jeopardy," but I think most believe that she is an active manipulating actor in all this and thus may deserve the backfire that has resulted. Particularly when the party supplier truck pulled up and one of the reporters confirmed she'd planned a party for tonight...:eyes:

[Bluebear]

36. The definitive post lol

I am enjoying thinking of what Laura Bush would and wouldn't do in prison for cigarettes.

[hlthe2b]

38. admittedly...

me too....:evilgrin:

[BlooInBloo]

5. lol! It's the "ya snooz ya looz" rule of prision. Haven't you heard of it? LOL

[BlooInBloo]

2. Yah! Who cares about cops ignoring judges' orders? Nothing can go wrong with THAT.

[Bluebear]

6. Lock up the sheriff who let her out.

Truly, BIB, if you read my posts from yesterday, you will see I am no fan of this girl, but this is getting muy ridiculoso.

[petronius]

35. Yeah - I think she should serve what she was originally sent for,

and the sheriff should do the rest of the 45 days...

[bluerum]

3. Why doesn't she just use the time to meet some new friends and see

how a lot of people live?

Damn.

It's not like they are going to kill her and eat her liver.

Sit in your damn cell, watch TV, and make little hash marks on the wall to count the days.

[MissB]

7. MSNBC's breaking news banner says she left the courtroom screaming.

[Bluebear]

9. And people find that hilarious.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1071173

I guess I really AM a bleeding heart.

[MissB]

19. A pampered princess screaming is *not* funny?

Sorry, but that young woman has been so sheltered and is so out of touch with real people that all my bleeding heart can do at this point is laugh. I'll save my sympathy for people who were actually wronged by the justice system.

[Bluebear]

23. I guess whatever her reality is I can't enjoy her panic.

Whatever, this is a story I had my fill of, oh, months ago lol.

[Waya]

28. I'm sorry, yes, it is funny.......

.... some blonde ditz with more money than brains breaks the law, then whines and expects special treatment (good grief she didn't get 25 to life), tries to pull a scam to get out of the slammer and then has a hissy fit because it didn't work and she has to go back. $5 days - geeeez, take it like an adult, ferchrissakes.

[Joe Chi Minh]

Don't you see, she would have ended up with an even greater contempt for the law than

that which caused her to be sentenced to that prison term in the first place.

Is compassion compassion, if it so thoroughly misguided?

[Bluebear]

34. 'Is compassion compassion, if it so thoroughly misguided?'

I don't know. She belongs in jail, I just can't enjoy her screaming in panic.

[Joe Chi Minh]

44. Nor me, as it happens. It's enough that it happens.

[hlthe2b]

37. I don't find it hilarious...

I find it rather frighteningly pathetic.... This creature truly has no core principles or coping skills--having never HAD to face any level of adversity. For that, I do feel sorry for her.

[Shakespeare]

39. IT'S FOR 20 DAYS. Not a freaking life sentence.

Her and her family's OVERREACTION to this is just breathtaking.

She's behaving like a toddler throwing a tantrum, and I find it disgusting (not funny).

No, I'm sure jail isn't fun. But she has to suffer the consequences--pretty damn light consequences--of her actions.

[Bluebear]

40. Disgusting it is. nt

[Shakespeare]

43. No, let's be specific. I said I find HILTON'S reaction disgusting.

The resulting outrage by everybody else is pretty much on the money.

[htuttle]

42. No shit -- it's not like she's even got to worry about losing her job while she's inside, etc...

...BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A GODDAMN JOB!

[LiberalFighter]

8. Technically she was not released

The sheriff still had custody of her. How he disposed of her was improper and in violation of the judge's order.

[MNDemNY]

11. Wrong! Paris Hilton IS merchandise!

[firefox_fan]

17. Good point.

[partylessinOhio]

12. The Hiltons should take their money and leave America -

just as the Jacksons have done.

My son suggests Dubai.

Paris doesn't deserve this treatment. My gawd, Laura Bush killed a man and didn't even merit a traffic citation.

Equal justice?


:mad:

[enigmatic]

18. Here she is slinging racial/ethnic epithets

Sorry, no sympathy from me.

[Bluebear]

21. Oh hell's bells....

What a loser she is, I like her even less now.

[Swamp Rat]

Paris Hilton™ is also an effective distraction.

:D

[madrchsod]

25. i like the "trade mark"

pretty much sums her life so far...

[Swamp Rat]

32. Yes, Paris Hilton™ ... The new brand name in cable infotainment.

Look at them all... CNN, FUX, M$NBC, CB$, et al scrambling the airwaves with "Paris Hilton™" when real news is conveniently not covered, i.e. a possible Cold War II or Gonzales-Gate... oh, where the FUCK is Osama Bin Laden?!?!

[marlakay]

22. She got out because of HER therapist!

She paid for the person and they would have said anything she wanted. He said she was having a nervous breakdown and when the judge just sent her back to jail it was because he got NO medical documents showing she was sick...

why?? because I believe it was all a big lie to stay out of jail...of course she will cry...shit she has never probably been disciplined in her life.

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Oh, you silly. Didn't you see Kathy Hilton on Oprah talking about

Paris a few years back? Right before the famous video hit the 'nets?

"She's a good girl". :eyes:

Yuppers. That is almost verbatim. And her behavior since then has only gotten worse. I blame Kathy and Rick Hilton for this, actually. If they'd ever say 'no' to that little twit, maybe she wouldn't be in jail.

[htuttle]

24. Have you or a loved one ever had a run-in with the criminal justice system in the US?

They treat EVERYONE like a goddamn ping pong ball! WAKE UP!

Got no sympathy for her. Seen too many others with less money receive worse treatment for lesser offenses.

[Bluebear]

27. yeah, the whole system is putrid, and especially in Los Angeles.

I hope Sheriff Celebrity-hound gets censured for this.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. She really shouldn't have been let out in the first place

Not that that was her fault. All things considered I don't even blame her for trying. However, if she were to be left out, for no reason other than the fact that she's who she is, it would not be fair to all the others who do have to serve their time.

A lot of people were angry over her being released. Let's hope the DA decides to dish some justice on the sheriff responsible for this mistake.

[goodhue]

41. Sheriff Baca screwed up

Not the court
