Paris goes free! WTF?!

You make me wonder if you really know what you are talking about. She wasn’t released early. She was transferred to a house arrest program despite an explicit order that this was not to be done. If the sherrif had wanted to release her, he could have. In fact, he still could, and the judge wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

Yeah, but by making an assumption.

Guys, keep your Snarkpit nonsense out of this thread and off this board.

Oh, c’mon, it’s the Pit and it’s a thread about PARIS HILTON! What better place to engage in a little snark fighting? :stuck_out_tongue:

First off what California vehicle code section is DUR? :rolleyes:
She was thrown in jail for probation violation.
If you go back and read for detail, you will see I was addressing this comment

Which makes it sound like reckless driving is some magically lesser charge than a DUI. As my California Vehicle Codes cites show, the penalties are identical.

Paris has an ARMY of people to help her navigate through the world. This army is not dangerous to us TODAY, but it threatens her neighbors and the stability of the region. In the 21st Century we can no longer wait for our enemies to strike us – therefore we must remove Paris from power and hold her indefinitely at an undisclosed location – maybe Egypt?

I do believe fluiddruid gets some chocolate.

This is me being a smart ass :wink: :

Y’know, I though jail was supposed to be a leetle bit bad for you… :rolleyes:

[Gen. Turgidson] Mr. President, we cannot allow there to be an heiress gap! [/GT]

I wonder if you brain is on. One anecdote from 1987? Get back to us when you’ve got something, o.k.?

Oh, you mean that story you told from 20 YEARS AGO? I don’t think DtC or I ever said that nobody has EVER served a jail sentence for parole violation. “Is this thing on” indeed.

So what’s your point? You’re arguing that Paris got better-than-normal treatment, and that the experts DtC heard on the news are wrong, and you’re basing it on something your buddy told you in 1987 and some co-worker of yours who actually got out of jail sooner than Paris did? Whatever…

Released from JAIL. Yes, she was under home arrest. Honestly, did we HAVE to do this back and forth just now to nitpick a point that everyone here already understood?

I mean, if you want to discuss what the sheriff did, let’s do that. You don’t need the fucking stupid “you don’t know what you’re talking about” recriminations. Yes, let’s talk about that. What Baca should have done was let her out early, and not cite a medical condition as the reason, since this appears to be somewhat unprecedented. I agree that he could have released her early if he had gone about it differently. But you need to read the quotes from the L.A. Times article I posted earlier, and then you will understand that this is more about a strange power struggle between the sheriff and the judge, and is not as simplistic as you’re making it out to be. What the judge is trying to do is apparently rather unprecedented as well.

And finally - kidchameleon: I looked at your cites, and I think you need to explain exactly how they’re supposed to make your point as to what the average amount of time a person spends in jail for doing what Paris did, and how that proves that she got special treatment. I’m not seeing that in any of those cites, and the last cite doesn’t even explain what it’s supposed to be a list of. So maybe you should quote the exact sections of the cites and explain how they make your point. The blind links aren’t cutting it.

If you have some hard evidence that proves she was seperated from the general population just to be nice to her or because she bribed someone, please share it. First, you make an assumption that she’s being held in isolation for some reasons other than pragmatic ones, then you castigate me for not addressing this, then when I point out that I did offer another possible explanation, you get bent out of shape about that. If you have some solid evidence, I’ll gladly concede the point. I haven’t seen any yet. Sometimes jails have to put certain people in protective custody for whatever reason. They do it for a reason. You can’t assume it’s just done as some kind of personal favor.

STOP IT! Can’t you see this Paris Hilton discussion is tearing us apart?!

Is this you at the end of this video lobrass?

Paris says she won’t appeal sentence.

Well, that’s no fun!

See, Paris agrees with me. Now, you wretches that have been howling for her blood should take her advice, and focus on things like how the wealthy are using their economic advantage to rip off you and your loved ones. Because right now, Paris Hilton’s being more mature about this than YOU are.

So what is this the DTC / Lowbrass tag team? You are same the same silly assed things he was. You said

and accused people who said this type / length of sentence of “pulling the assertion out of your ass” So I posted a personal experience where I knew someone who got exactly the same sentence as PH, now you dismiss this with it was 20 years ago?
OK, pop quiz:
Over the last 20 years have drunk driving laws in California more lenient? T/F (circle one) If you answered true you are a moron.
I will tell you the same thing I said to DTC,:

Again read what you wrote:

I changed the size so you can read what I was responding to without your glasses. I informed you (with cites) that reckless is not a lesser crime, it is an equal crime. Christ, there are not enough :rolleyes: to deal with you and DTC.
