Paris if a free woman again...

You just don't get it do you? It isn't about Paris Hilton, it's about justice and fairness. Forget it's her, how would you feel if it was your daughter, mom, sister or friend...I'm thinking this will be overturned on appeal, the judge has probably overstepped his authority here. In any event, she'll probably be out on bail Monday. Will she probably get a book out of this? Little doubt. Might she use this to rehab her image? Possibly! None of which speaks to the point...I'm the one who always decries the failures of the legal system when poor folks go to jail and rich folks skate, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I didn't denounce this obvious judicial ego trip using a wealthy well-known young lady as a political pawn!

This isn't about Paris? She wasn't the one that blew a .08 and was arrested for DUI? Since you're into hypotheticals, what if she would have taken somebody out during her little reckless burger run? And, to answer your question, if it were someone in my family, or a friend, I guess I'd be going to visit them in the joint!

Then that's you!

Oh yeah, your quote from the Josh Hancock thread...

I understand that the family is suffering by losing a son but this is another example of folks simply not taking responsibility for their own behavior...or, in this case, a father blaming everyone but his son for his son's behavior. According to reports, the restuarant manager tried to talk him into taking a cab, he was 2x the legal limit, speeding, talking on his cell, and he had grass in the car...the family should consider themselves lucky if the tow truck driver and the person with the disabled car don't sue them (son's estate). He could have killed several innocent people as well...sad, but this action is indefensible!

so...lets not blame everyone else but Paris...but hey, you're entitled to your opinion

You continue to focus on Ms Hilton, I've said from the beginning that she is responsible for her actions...this isn't about what she did, it's about her treatment by this judge!!! Knockout punch? I think folks are so filled with their view of things that they can't tolerate a different opinion!

[somerfrost]

I continue to talk about the issue of fairness and folks here simply seem unwilling or unable to get past the "Paris Hilton is an evil bitch who deserves what she gets" mentality! She is responsible for her behavior...and this judge is responsible for his!

[ninetoone]

did the judge commit the crime? Wake up...you are focusing on the wrong person, not everyone else in the world!

Here's an expression you might want to look up:

"cant see the forest for the trees"

You can insult my point of view all you want....the fact remains that all you see is Paris Hilton...the debate has never been about whether she violated her parole, it is about her treatment by this judge! Try thinking about what I'm saying instead of attempting to belittle my pov.

Somehow you have managed to try and make people feel sorry that Paris Hilton is being punished for her actions. I see what you are saying and you know what, the judge probably is trying to set an example and so what. She needs a good dose of reality. But you can't have it both ways Somer. Come on.

So please point out why I am a hypocrite...since we are calling names, may I call you an ignorant bastard?

You call me a hypocrite then say you won't stoop to name-calling...LOL! I was kidding of course, I don't think you are an ignorant bastard but I already addressed Ninetoone's post...you gotta do better than that if you are gonna call me names like hypocrite (since I'm one person who has been accused over and over of being painfully consistant).

I don't think this is anything to do with politics.
