Paris Hilton out of jail after 3 days?

[Rick Lee]

Maybe Lewis Libby should take a cue from her.

It's a sad day when I agree with Al Sharpton.


SHARPTON BLASTS JUSTICE SYSTEM
Thu Jun 07 2007 11:45:47 ET

Reverend Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, and one of the country's foremost leaders for civil rights, is blasting the justice system for what appears to be favoritism in the early release of Paris Hilton.

"Though I have nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton whom I have met and appeared with on Saturday Night Live the night I hosted in 2003, this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released.

I have served several sentences for civil rights and civil disobedience actions and I even fasted which caused health concerns to prison authorities who paid for a doctor to come see me daily rather than release me. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise

I also have to stand with Big Al on this one.

You guys agree with Al that she was released because she is white???

[svandamme]

white and rich

[the]

what if she were black and rich?

(like snoop dogg).

[Jim Richards]

rich

[legion]

Yep...rich.

Oprah would have gotten the same or better treatment.

[Rikao4]

well le Snoop dog has had his share of 'incidents' and he is not jail.
So it seems to work
$$$=no, or short stay
Snoopy is fun, Paris is a rash,
really our fault..we scratch..she makes $ and annoys us.

Exactly. Race has nothing to do with it.

The rich and famous have received preferential treatment for a long time, esp. in LA.

Here's another story of the criminal justice system treating the rich different than the rest. Is Al going to rally about this injustice, too?

Police May Have Favored Timberwolves Player

(AP) Minneapolis Authorities are investigating whether two Minneapolis police officers did a favor for Timberwolves forward Eddie Griffin by neglecting to give him a ticket for suspected drunken driving and by giving him a ride to his St. Paul home after he crashed into a parked car in March.

In 911 transcripts obtained by the Star Tribune, several witnesses said Griffin appeared drunk, and the dispatcher told the officers that the driver involved "possibly was intoxicated."

The police report doesn't say whether officers Daniel Anderson and Matthew Lindquist knew Griffin was intoxicated. It also doesn't say whether they gave him a blood-alcohol or a field sobriety test.

Yup. Being rich and famous will help a lot, but being rich, famous and FEMALE is the brass ring.

Snoop's beein in and out of jail several times for little things, dont think he called in any shrinks or had a hissie fit

Michael Jackson , well , he's white now isn't he

[scottmandue]

I was wondering how long it would be before you guys took the bait and ran with this.

Paris is like a BBS troll if you would (or could) ignore her she would go away.

Her only talent is to get people to talk about her.

And WTF if I had her kind of money and a court order not to drive I would just get a chauffeur... but I digress... continue you fuming over the blatant obvious... rich white people get better treatment than poor ethnic people? Wow, earth shattering news.

[Jim Richards]

bad day at the office?

Michael Jackson is Rich, famous, and female

Ophra would do some time and write a book about her experiences in the slammer. It would become a best seller.

Paris...well you feel sorry of Kittens and Puppys don't you.

[Jim Richards]

You'd show her your staircase, wouldn't you, Tabdulla?

Somehow I think Pariss days in the limelight are numbered. Everybody is going to laugh at her...couldn't even do a measley 23 days without wussing out...so much for the party hardy girl.

Talk about a rich, spoiled and pampered little Princess. A vertible little Poodle only she gives a BAD NAME to Poodles.
