c/d: paris hilton

This whole story today is like Patty Hearst meets the O.J. chase.

Ally, it's not just that she's going to jail, it's everything leading up to it, including now playing sick to get out of jail (WTF?!) and having a hissy fit at being told that you can't do that. She has handled herself with the least amount of dignity anyone could have been expected to. She seems to think that it matters that all this is hurting her feelings.

yeah wow, ms misery otm, wtf guys, i'd like to see y'all go to jail on some 45 day sentences?

like, seriously, i'd enjoy that.

uhhh well maybe next time i go fucking DRUNK DRIVING i'll feel silly for clowning her

yeah, i don't want to go to jail either, you guys, i'm not made of stone of anything, but have you been paying attention to this mess? Shut up and do your 23 days or whatever in your special celebrity resort prison.

I went in for 60 days and thought nothing of it. County jail /= prison.

yeah, that's the other thing, she actually committed a crime here. Drinking and driving is bad.

Mens be macho.

I don't think Ally's defending her actions at all. Just her reaction. You don't know why she's crying.

She seems to think that it matters that all this is hurting her feelings.

How do you know that? My point was that crying on your way to jail was a natural response and I bet most people would.

I imagine a lot of people would cry on their way to jail.

I know I would.

i'm glad you guys feel so superior to her! let's talk about whether or not women should have pubic hair some more.

i mean i'm not defending the fact she was drunk driving. i don't know the california state laws but i DO think she's being made an example of here and i can totally understand being completely freaked out by the whole thing.

I'd have some shred of sympathy for her if she didn't try to play sick so she could stay home from jail.

And yeah I have no sympathy for people rightly convicted of crimes serving time (btw, isn't she actually serving time for driving w/suspended license, not DUI?) I know someone who's wrapping up 20 years, no tears here, he deserved it. (but I bet he's cried.)

I can't! I'm not being macho but you're not gonna get assraped or shanked in lockup! xxp

I'd freak out too but I sure as hell wouldn't be caught crying on the way in.

you are an emotionally stronger man than I

i'm glad you guys feel so superior to her!

On the contrary. It's as an inferior that I reserve the right to mock.

nobody's asking you to be sympathetic to her, i'm questioning your bullshit macho attitude about what a "grown woman" acts like on the way to jail.

Kenan, I bet you would be one of the first people to "play sick" if you thought it could get you out. The real crime here is that the stupid Sheriff's office responded to it how they did. Like the judge said, the jail had fine medical facilities.

paris is not fully grown yet, i don't think

Isn't prison supposed to be humiliating?

I'd probably cry again if someone had said "ok you're out of jail!" and then a judge decided "ok you're back in jail!" Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

yeah, you're probably right -- playing sick was probably her lawyer's idea anyway.

Isn't prison supposed to be humiliating?

this is the kind of fucked up attitude that makes the prison system so useless but whatever, i don't think the paris hilton thread is really the appropriate place to get into the us prison system and its failings.

this one's for you Paris:

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she wont be a slave, we say that she dont love us
If shes real, we say shes trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that shes above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that shes too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!

We insult her every day on tv
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When shes young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you dont believe me, take a look at the one youre with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

shakey you just redeemed yourself

but i DO think she's being made an example of here and i can totally understand being completely freaked out by the whole thing.

She's only being made an example of if other people don't get the same sentence for that crime.

She already gets preferential treatment by going to a unit for celebs. She only got initially freed because she is a celeb. Would an ordinary person get that treatment?

She committed a serious crime and has to serve her punishment like anyone else would have to. Someone could have been killed in an accident because she was drink driving.

Unless no-one goes to jail for the same crime I don't see how she is being made an example of because she's famous.
If they hadn't gave her preferential treatment in the 1st place by letting her out aftera few days none of this would be an issue.

Gloating about her crying is pathetic however.

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here today.

paris hilton is an odious human being and i think we should all be able to separate our feelings about jail from our feelings of happiness that paris is going to jail for breaking the law, over and over. she drove with a suspended license, right? isn't that why she's in the slammer.

She's only being made an example of if other people don't get the same sentence for that crime.

that's the point that i'm making??? i don't know a single person who got arrested on a dui that served a sentence even close to that long, even on like a 3rd dui? BUT if she got arrested on that + suspended license as ms misery pointed out, it could be a different story--i wasn't aware of that.

why was it Paris and not Nikki what got so famous

Paris is white

tho quite frankly i've known ppl who got arrested on suspended license too that served no/very little time so still. i can see how the combo can add up? i guess?

uh shakey i hate to break it to you but nicky hilton is also white.

Paris won't be able to visit fratton park this summer.

Gloating about her crying is pathetic however.
Sanctimonious bullshit. Along with the rest of the world, I'll be laughing about this for a while.

I'm sure the answer is she didn't have a porno movie.

oh yeah 8080

some of you people are really fucking creepy

be some more japan about shit

paris hilton is an odious human being and i think we should all be able to separate our feelings about jail from our feelings of happiness that paris is going to jail for breaking the law, over and over.

yes plz thank you

BARTENDER! a round of schadenfreude for everyone!

Paris is white

but they're both racists right?

this story is still not news

Do you mean Nicky Hilton? she is also white. Unless you meant Nicole Ritchie. She's just aneorxic. (xpost)

Truthfully I really don't care about Paris. A young black man was shot in the back and killed at a nightclub here over the weekend by a white officer who had already been discplined for police brutality in the past. Obv. America's lack of priorities angers me. But that's a different thread.

THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH SCHADENFREUDE PEOPLE

ally, fwiw, i think that she was picked up twice driving with a suspended license from the initial dui.

in the County, it's just like a party
'cause in the County, you know everybody

From the smoking gun:

In January, weeks after pleading no contest to a reckless driving charge, the 26-year-old Hilton was cited for driving with a suspended license. After signing a document acknowledging she was not to drive, Hilton was pulled over by cops in February and charged with a probation violation. As a result, she was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

* reckless driving
* suspended licence
* suspended license part II: the wrath of Khan
* enjoy the hotdogs

In September 2006, Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, the minimum at which it is illegal to drive in California. Hilton's drivers license was subsequently suspended in November 2006,[34] and in January 2007 she pled no contest to the alcohol-related reckless driving charge.[35] Her punishment was a 36 month probation sentence and fines of about $1,500.[36]

On February 27, 2007 Hilton was caught driving 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone with a suspended license. She also did not have her headlights on while it was after dark. Prosecutors in the office of the Los Angeles City Attorney charged that those actions, along with the failure to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program constituted a violation of the terms of her probation.[34] On May 4, 2007 Hilton was sentenced by Judge Michael T. Sauer to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. She was required to begin her jail term June 5, 2007 or risk a doubling of her sentence.[6]

Initially, Hilton planned to appeal her sentence, and supported an online petition asking California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a pardon.[37] In response, various opponents started a petition to maintain the sentence.[38] Both petitions attracted tens of thousands of signatures. Paris later switched lawyers, and dropped her plans to appeal.[39]

Wikinews has news related to:
Motion filed to return Paris Hilton to jail
Jail sentence
On June 3, 2007, after attending the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, Hilton checked herself into the Men's Central Jail of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles at 11:38 pm PDT. From there, Hilton was transferred by authorities to a special section "reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates"[40] within the Century Regional Detention Facility, an all female jail in Lynwood, California. Hilton was given the inmate booking number 9818783. With credit for good behavior, it was anticipated that Hilton would only serve 23 days of her 45 day sentence.[41] However, upon LA County Sheriff Lee Baca's signed orders, on the morning of June 7, Hilton was reassigned to 40 days home confinement with an electronic monitoring device due to an unspecified medical condition.[42] The same day Paris was released from prison, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo and Judge Michael Sauer ordered Hilton back to court on the morning of June 8, 2007. She was sent back to jail to serve the remainder of her sentence, 42 days, and was taken out of the courtroom screaming for her mother, who was in the courtroom.

From Wikipedia

btw she's being held in a special unit for celebrities/high-profile prisoners/cops-convicted-of-crimes/etc, she has it a lot easier than most county prisoners

I know people in Cali with a DUI + later driving-on-suspended who did 90 days, so Paris can take her "it's not fair" and stuff it up her nose

the great news is that evidently the cop who decided to let her out is a sc**ntol*g*st, so now we have the possibility of a sc**ntol*g*st Paris Hilton: good times!

a scient-you-know. . .that it explains it all.

I was wondering if some palms were greased in this. Maybe the Hilton's agreed to make a sizable donation to the Church of S.
