Antonio French at PubDef notes the difference between the treatment rich brat Paris Hilton received, being freed only three days into a 45-day jail sentence, and the treatment received by Lavonda Kimble of St. Louis, who died in jail after suffering an asthma attack.
With today's celebrity worship gone wild, it is surprising Miss Hilton served any time in jail.
Totally disgusting. Paris Hilton's release represents a mockery of the phrase "criminal justice."
ReplyDeleteYour new layout is great.
If hard to read is great, then I guess you are right. Its hard to tell if it's the font that makes me want to not visit anymore, if it's the HUGE white area and small text-contrast issue, or the poor layout.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that fond of her, but Judge Judy said it very well. I think it was something like "Pretty fades, stupid is forever."
ReplyDeleteObvious, disturbing injustice aside, who still uses 800 x 600 screen resolution? This isn't 1998!
ReplyDeleteThe format is horrible! Randy, please change it back!
ReplyDeleteWhy does everybody comment about your format or layout or whatever?

WHAT THE #$@%????
I would really like to remind that KKK member that everyone HATES them. And that, you know, their thinking is completely backwards.
Paris Hilton SHOULDN'T have served any time in jail--not one day.
ReplyDeleteChristopher Darden, who served as the asst. prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case, has called the Hilton sentence "absolutely outrageous."
No one in L.A. county serves time at taxpayer expense for driving on a suspended license (suspended for a reckless driving charge, not a DWI. Hilton has never been convicted of DWI.)
They report to jail and they go home.
If the system can treat someone with $50 million this way--someone who pulls down $400,000 in a night by making personal appearances-- they can treat a poor black person equally unfairly.
Fair treatment under the law means exactly that.
The judge in the case has every right to hand down a sentence--but 23 or 45 days in jail for driving on a suspended license? Come on.
The criminal justice system in Los Angeles County has been screwed up for years. This is just another example of that. I hope Paris sues them for $10 million and gets it.
