Im glad they put the wench back in jail. If she doesn't want to eat or sleep, then who cares. she doesn't have my pity nor will she ever get it. Just because she has money and is a slut does she think she deserves special treatment? If I was that judge I would throw the dumb@ss sheriff who was going to let her do the sentence in her in jail or force him to resign his position. What if someone was killed when she blantantly broke the law. People like her are a menace to society and make all of us everyday hard working people who have respect for the law look bad.
Im sure if it was one of us we would not be able to pass go and go directly to jail.

Lots of anger but unfortunately short on facts. Because you dislike someone it's OK to mistreat them...old old story!

i'm now willing to conceed she is the mahatma gandhi of shallow rich white people if it will put an end to the posting on the subject.

this is my final offer.

:mad:






FWOOM







POOF







:)

This isn't the first time she has broken the law. How many chances does she deserve?

OOO

BLOODY AWFUL

but is there anyone left over there to see it?

I'm safe as long as the Ohio State fanatics don't go there.






What a dumb thing to say.

Your posts demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the issues here, this has nothing to do with giving Ms Hilton another chance, nobody has suggested that she shouldn't be held responsible for her behavior, the issue is whether she should be treated unfairly simply to "make a point" or because so many folks seem to dislike her and apparently feel that if they get their "pound of flesh" it will somehow make their lives better.

Let's see, the Ohio State sport board should still be up at ESPN, I'll post a link there to the horse board...:rolleyes:

why is it dumb for you to mention ohio state fanatics?

No matter who you are or what your status is in society there should be no favortism. If they are using her as an example because of her celebrity status then it is unjust.

NOOOOOOO!






ror!

Well because it would give someone the idea to...


....why am I answering this!!?








But maybe you meant something else.

If you did...it's just that I am an OSU admirer,but not insane about it.

Some of them built their homes in the likeness of Tressel.

Sounds like we agree...that's all I'm saying, punish her like anybody else!

you're right!

too often it seems a celeb is actually treated more harshly by members of the system. they want so hard to make it seem that they don't want to treat a star differently, but end up doing exactly that, by being over the top! but then...you have spector, on trial for murder, and not in jail during the trial. would you, or i, be home while on trial in that case? no.

The truth of the matter is that, celebrity or not, it's rare to be treated with absolute fairness by the criminal justice system. It depends on who you are and who's your attorney and who's the prosecutor and what judge you happen to end up in front of. Things even out, but only in the abstract. Case by case, someone's always getting treated too harsh or too leniently. Justice is surely not blind. The best you can hope for is that she's squinting a bit when you're on the dock.

I agree...the key is equal treatment. The rich will always have the advantage of being able to afford better lawyers with more resources (think OJ) and if the case is plastered all over the news, good lawyers will work for free...don't know how to get around that but it's not the judge's role to "punish" or "set examples" based on socio-economic status or race.

There are many "cracks" in our judicial system. Adding to the mess are the recent(5yrs) sentencing guidelines that handcuff all parties in a case. Somer: you still haven't read Grishams' The Innocent Man yet, have you??

No Tim, I'll try and get to it!

I promise it will move you and be worth the time!

"The system" is not 100 percent consistent. Can anyone speak to this judges actions in the past? I'm sure this isn't the most strict ruling ever given in a case like this, and I'm sure it's not the most lenient either. Either way, I don't really care...she got what she deserved & it's not the judge who was out there driving under the influence & endangering lives...so lets not put the spotlight on him....some people are just unbelievable! Let's put the judge on trial!! LOL!

921: wasn't doing that,buddy! Just trying to share some thoughts. My 9yr old daughter and some kids at a school lit some leaves on fire, the older kids blamed my daughter...and the DA charged her with a Felony..Endangering the Forests, or some such nonsense. It ended up costing me 1G to make restitution for other kids damage. It was the whole DA overkill that really pissed me off.

What thread are you reading?? Certainly I have NEVER blamed the judge for Paris' behavior...she and she alone is responsible for what she does...what I and many others are saying is that this judge imposed a sentence far harsher than what Jane Sixpack would normally get, then he got into an ego-induced "pissing contest" with the sheriff using Ms Hilton as a pawn forcing him to send a marked car to bring her to court (after it was originally stated that she could attend the hearing via telephone) in handcuffs. Once there, he refused to consider any information relating to the Sheriff's decision to release her to house arrest even though it was known that there was a medical condition involved, hiding behind a legal issue when he could have easily gained access to the info BEFORE making a decision. And oh yeah, according to reports, after sending her back to jail, the judge immediately left the courtroom to attend church where he received a standing ovation! Yeah, I think the judge has questions to answer!

He should receive a standing ovation. And I didn't say that you were blaming the judge for Paris' behavior...I said you were putting HIM on trial, which you are.

Damn right I want explanations regarding what appears to be a judge pandering to public bloodlust by treating someone unfairly...I would feel the same if it was Jane Sixpack or Timm's daughter. There is no defense for "making an example" of someone! What I'm pointing out, and you refuse to make this distinction, is that it has nothing to do with Ms Hilton's behavior...she did what she did and she alone is responsible and will deal with the consequences. That doesn't give some judge the right to pander...and the fact that folks in a church view his acts as worthy of praise is rather well...interesting!

Take that judge to ANY public forum with a group of people present, and he'll get the same ovation. That's what your missing. Lemme guess, now your going to blame him for the ovation he received too??? That's awesome! At least you're consistent if nothing else. Oh yeah, then you try to turn it into a church thing...priceless stuff.

So...why do you think he got the ovation? For making an example out of a young woman? Putting a spoiled rich brat in her place? Giving her what she deserved? How very Christian...but then biblical teachings don't apply when we hate someone I guess!

Like I said, change it into a church thing...you are awesome. Again, take the judge to any public forum & he gets the same ovation. Why are you trying to change gears all the sudden? This from the same guy that posted in the Josh Hancock thread...again, priceless.

And again, what did I say in Hancock that's different from what I say here?
I said he (Hancock) was responsible for his actions...here I'm saying Paris is responsible for her actions and THE JUDGE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS! 100% consistant yet in your mind...well, I frankly have no idea. Change what into a church thing? I documented what was reported...it happened in the church...with real-life church people, I'm not making it into anything...it is what it is!

What church thing?

Timm,
Discussing the report that the judge got a standing ovation when he walked into church.

I love those born-again Christians.

We always can do wrong. Thats why we get born again.

(I know. Has nothing to do with current topic)

DTS presented the right verse for what happened at that church today.

(Sigh) That's suprising. I wish it weren't that way....people are people and everyone makes mistakes...some bigger than others. ...there, but for the Grace of God go I...or my kids.
