but some are more equal than others. Please explain to me for what reason would anyone consider Paris Hilton’s fuck-ups as a reason to rally, protest or petition. This isn’t even about using those resources for something more constructive. It’s simply about guilt.
You see, miss Hilton might be a rich star that likes to get herself involved in a number of controversies and other attention-garnering endeavours. She is free to do so as long as the only trouble she’s causing others is annoyance.
Not so when she drives drunk, without a license and or any care for public safety regulations.
So, spoiled brat gets 45 days in county jail - where she will more than likely get bitch-slapped by some mean mama - and now people in NYC have to go out and protest about it [granted, the radio said there were only about 3 that showed up.] But that’s not all. She’ll be asking Schwarzie for a pardon, seeing as her grand-daddy helped the Terminator with some campaign cash. Will she get it? I wouldn’t be too surprised if that’s the case. Mind you, it’s not even her first ‘boo-boo’1.
On one hand, you have people like Josh Wolf imprisoned for 226 days without being charged and no public protests are made. Then we have miss Hilton - with a really not-that-interesting ‘reality’ show and a boring sex-tape - getting media attention for being stupid twice. Do people even begin to understand that she really is guilty and that letting her go would further show exactly how ‘well’ the system works? Would they accept this if the case was about some guy that smacked into a fence because he was drunk? What about Teo Peter?
Money or fame or whatever else, if people begin to ignore the law willingly then they can’t possibly expect the Government to heed to it. Or demand for justice when it turns against them. This is not about ‘what if’s2 but simpler than that: “You do the crime, you do the time.”
To the prison with her! :D
