The Paris Hilton Fiasco Threads Merged

[webhead731]

40 days isn't that bad and not worth throwing a bigass fit over...sure it'd suck but it's better than a year or something...

 

[Jerry!]

Because of her own doing.

 

[WorthyStevens]

It doesn't matter if it's 'only' 45 days, it's still jail. Not a place anyone would want to be in.

And yeah, it is her own fault. That's why I don't feel bad about it. I only feel bad about the amount of pleasure some are taking in this.

 

[J. J. Jameson]

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out.

Seriously...what the heck? Crying for her mommy? These are the kind of people that America has idolized?

Spoiler

Bwhahahahaha...

I'm not taking pleasure in it either. Frankly I don't give a damn that it's happening. Her fault, her business. I don't really care to get involved.

Instead of crying her eyes out and calling for her mom, maybe
1. She should realize that it's her fault in the first place.
2. She needs to think about that some INNOCENT people get a lifetime sentence in jail for nothing.
3. Stop crying and be thankful that your sentence is short. It's understandable that it'd suck. But 40 something days isn't the worst it gets. Think about WHY you got in there.

 

[Gonking]

she got what she deserves

 

[Erzengel]

Seconds later, the judge announced his decision: "The defendant is remanded to county jail to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence. This order is forthwith."

Hilton screamed.

Too bad this wasn't recorded.

 

[terry78]

On the one hand, I know she deserves it, but on the other hand, most people in society could never handle a night in jail, let alone 45 days, so I'm not going to get all up on her about it either.

 

[Ben Urich]

If you had only showed me the text of the article, I would have thought it was from The Onion. It's too perfect. t:

Nightmares.

LMFAO!! I'm surprised nobody has this as an avvy yet . . .

Maybe when she's sitting in jail she should do all those things, but I think she's allowed to be upset for right now.

So a spoiled brat breaks the law and tries to manipulate the system to get out of jail so she can hang out at her mansion for 45 days, and winds up being told "no" for probably the first time in her life and gets her spoiled ass sent back to jail.

Yeah, why would people be so cruel to take pleasure in that?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I'm just a cruel person.

Because 99% of those bashing her don't even know her personally.

 

[Jan Irisi]

Because 99% of those bashing her don't even know her personally.

It is simply human nature to do so. It is seeing someone get away with things we ourselves would never dream of doing, being obnoxious about it, not caring who they may harm along the way because they are "above all that", and then falling flat on their asses. Of course folks are going to punch the air and say "YES!!!!"

 

[enterthemadness]

She had it coming.

But throwing a fit?! I lol'ed when I read the article and saw the pic. Get over yourself. It's just...it's not even two months! It's not like a life sentence. Or death role. Damn. You can get drunk and party before summer is out.

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

i agree with that statement to a point

i do wonder how most people can say harsh things about other celebs, when they themselves have never met them

but paris is different. through her entire time in the public eye, tmz videos, interviews, she doesn't portray anyone different than what people think of her, and that's just someone who doesn't give a **** about anything and doesn't want to face the consequences. i won't say she's a spoiled rich person because hello! she can't help being born rich, but honestly there is not that much good to say when it comes to paris at all. she's brought all this on herself basically.

that's swell but people are being ridiculous with their "She should DIE!!!" "HAHA TEH *****UCKER!" comments. She's as bad as anyone you'd meet in your own neighborhood. She's been an attention-****e for a time, but she doesn't even have to try anymore. She made a sex tape with her then-boyfriend and got into a few spats over boys. That a **** does not make. She 100% deserves her punishment but come on. As hard as it may be to believe she's not really a caricature, she's a person.

I feel so evil now, because I'm really enjoying this. Thank you Paris for balling your eyes out.

This reaction, particularly on an internet site such as this, should be no surprise at all.

it isn't but it's still icky, icky, gross-gross.

Sheriff under fire for ordering Paris’ release

Lee Baca has a history of accepting money, free meals, sports tickets

LOS ANGELES - This is not the first time that Lee Baca, the sheriff who opened the jail door for Paris Hilton, has had his judgment questioned.
He’s been accused of using his authority to benefit friends and supporters. Since taking office he’s accepted thousands of dollars worth of freebie meals, sports tickets and trips.
Now Baca is facing accusations of favoritism after making the decision that allowed Hilton to leave jail Thursday to serve out her sentence at her West Hollywood home.

He dismissed that criticism, saying Friday that Hilton had been ordered to spend an unusually long time behind bars.
Under his department’s early release program, Hilton would not have served any time in jail and would have been put on home electronic monitoring, Baca said.
“The special treatment, in a sense, appears to be because of her celebrity status,” he said. “She got more time in jail.”
After ordering Hilton back to her cell Friday, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer said he “at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff.”
The union representing deputy sheriffs demanded that Baca “put a stop to his special treatment for celebrity inmates.” And county Supervisor Don Knabe said he was stunned to find out Baca released Hilton without consulting the court.
“I would have thought he would have better judgment than that,” Knabe said.
The county Board of Supervisors will demand a report on Hilton’s release and Baca’s decision-making in the matter, Knabe said.
For Baca, 65, who has led the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department since 1998, the blowback is not extraordinary.
When Mel Gibson was arrested for drunken driving, the department withheld video and audio tapes of the arrest, asserting they were exempt from open-government laws.
There were questions about favorable treatment for Gibson after a sheriff’s spokesman initially said the arrest occurred “without incident” and made no mention of the superstar’s now-notorious anti-Semitic rant.

When a celebrity is involved, that’s when people pay attention,” said Robert Stern of the Center for Governmental Studies, a research group. “The big question ... is why didn’t the sheriff go to the judge” before Hilton was released.
Baca has dismissed criticism over the decision.

Last year, the Los Angeles Times reported Baca put one of his closest friends on the payroll as a $105,000-a-year adviser.
The newspaper also said he had accepted more than $42,000 in gifts since taking office, including some from those who do business with his department.
In 2004, he took more gifts than California’s other 57 sheriffs combined.
Baca oversees an 8,000-officer force that has been vexed by low morale, tight budgets, overcrowded jails and the persistence of gang crime.

Jonathan Wilcox, a Republican strategist who teaches a course on politics and celebrity at the University of Southern California, said Baca may be caught between public expectations and the reality of the criminal justice system:
“Sheriff Baca needs to be very concerned with at least the impression that the final frontier — the law — is now as affected by celebrity as almost every other aspect of our lives.”

But, the media does tend to prefer portraying the more negative side of a celeb as it generates more talk. Now, I'm not saying Paris is the nicest chick in the world - because I don't know her - so to judge her whole personality based on said media is a little unfair.

Hell even if it was a year I might understand. But 40 days? Come on, it sucks but is it worth tears?
