I'm not a fan of Paris Hilton. I also don't hate her. How can anyone "hate" someone they don't know?

The reason I feel she didn't get what she deserved is very simple. Nobody should be sentenced for "who" they are, instead of "what" they did wrong. She was sentenced unfairly in my opinion. I've seen habitual criminals, with worse crimes get "time served" after a few days. All because of over crowding in the jails. I can't believe I work my butt off so that my tax dollars can spend more money than I make in a year on such a hardened criminal as Paris Hilton. Yea I feel my money was spent well on this one. I will sleep much better knowing that Miss Paris Hilton is locked securely away for the unforgivable crime that she commiited.

Yes I'm being sarcastic, and no I'm not making light of her actions. They were wrong, she broke the law. You don't drink and drive, you don't drive on a suspended liscense and more importantly you should always show nothing less than the utmost respect for the judges and our courts. But what did she really do that is such a threat to our society that she deserves the sentence she was given. So she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, and a trust fund large enough to support 2 third world countries through the next millinium. She's spoiled rotten, probably a snob who is never told "no". Blame her parents for that, not her.

Let the punishment fit the crime. That's what I was always taught. Not how to get away with punishing someone for "who" they are instead of "what" they did.

How do you suggest to stop her from drinking and driving..if a loved one gets killed by her drinking and driving. You will think twice when you say she didn't deserve the punishment she recieved. She was already on probation and that didn't stop her, so what would you do to make her stop.

I never said she shouldn't be punished. You are absolutely right being on probation didn't stop her. Just like it didn't stop thousands of other people who did the samething. She showed a total lack of respect for the judge, the law and the seriousness of her crime. I don't dispute she deserves time. I agree the sherriff shouldn't have sent her home after only a few days. My issue is with the judge and how he handled this whole case.

God forbid Paris's actions were taken to lightly and she ultimately ended up killing somebody. I truely mean that, I am a huge supporter of MADD. Unfortunately I feel that the judge took her attitude in court personally, got mad at her total lack of respect for the system feeling like she was above the law. So he sentenced her more for that than how she broke the law. How many times did Robert Downey Jr break probation until finally he actually served any length of jail time. The difference is he did show "some" respect.

Can you tell me that Paris will learn more of a lesson the longer she sits in jail? Just the fact that she had to go to jail rocked her whole world. I don't even have to know her, to know that. And I'm not saying that was enough of a punishment just because it rocked her world. Everybody can find loop holes in the system to make their sentenced easier. The rich just have the money to push their way through them, where us common folk have to sit it out. We don't have the funds for an entourage of attonerys to clutter up our courts with leagle motions cutting her sentence down which ultimately will happen. Why because the j

Why because the judge made the mistake of sentencing her for "who" she is and not "what" laws she broke.

As we speak the tax payers are footing an astronomical bill everyday because Paris has been sitting in the hospital in the jail. I don't know about anyone else but I work way to hard for my money to have to support someone that blows more money on her shoes than I make in a year. Do you really think she won't think twice now before she gets behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, or acts like a prima donna in court. It's costing us (tax payers) thousands of dollars a day to house her in the hospital compared to hundereds while she sat in a cell. But she has the right like everybody else to be given medical treatment while incarcerated.

By all means punish her, I couldn't care less about her if she had to sit for the entire 60 days. I'm not some fan of hers that feels she's to good to be in jail. This whole issue is more about how our officials manipulate the system to satisfy their own agnedas. The judge over sentenced her because she pissed him off. The sheriff releases her WAY early because the attention is dissrupting his jail and posing a threat to the other inmates. The DA's get her back in jail to prove a point. That even the rich and famous an not above the law.

I know I'm convinced, I bet the next time one of those celebrities starts to party they won't drive intoxicated because we kept Paris Hilton in jail for the entire sentence. Doesn't matter that it cost the tax payers thousands of dollars to teach her a lesson. The same lesson I might add th

The same lesson I might add that she would have probably learned after 10-14 days.

Mel Gibson learned his lesson and went to rehab after less than 24 hours in jail and he's a much stronger person than Paris.

hi wrks4me
i agree, this is a great blog :)
i think punishing her even more harshly for being PARIS HILTON is just wrong , she should be punished yes , but people wanting to see this woman hurt and beat up and raped by other inmates at the jail is just SICK , WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO SEE THAT , WHAT IF THERE CHILDREN GOD FORBID GOT INTO THE SAME SITUATION AND KIDS DO , WOULD THEY WANT TO SEE THEM HURT TO LEARN A LESSON , KEEPING PARIS BY HERSELF WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO ,SOMEONE HURTING HER WOULD BE THE PLAIN HEARTBREAKING .THATS MY VIEW FROM A MOMS POINT OF VIEW .

She's not being punished for being Paris, she's being punished for driving drunk and violating probation. She got what she deserved, as all law-breakers should.

Exactly...she has no respect for the laws we all have to abide by. I say good riddance to her, hope she enjoys jail and maybe sees the light.

Maybe I'm the one that doesn't get it, or just not stating my position clear enough. I'm all for her being punished. I didn't mean to imply anything other than that. I agree she has shown a complete lack of respect for the whole process and didn't take any of it seriously. She disrespected the judge, the court system, our laws, and the prosecuters.

I could be just blind, but I don't remeber anyone I've known that has been busted for similar crimes sentenced that harshly. My Ex has been caught a couple of times driving on a suspended liscense. Once arrested, spent 3 1/2 days in Jail, only because the inital charge was disturbing the peace. I've had friends that have drank and drove, broke probation and still only sat about a week or two in jail.

ddain, you just said it yourself. "she has no respect for the laws we all have to abide by" Were in our laws states that it is a "crime, punishable by extra jail time" for "disrespecting" the law. Was an added charge for contempt of court issued by the judge that I don't know about? Because that would warrant more time added onto her dui/probation/suspended license charges. I'm just say if not, than why "good riddance" attitude? Why not just put her in prison for the rest of her natural born life?

Mel Gibson just recently not only drove drunk, but was PLASTERED out of his mind. Than verbally assualted a police officer with racial slurrs. Why didn't he get any jail time? Can you honestly tell me that was the very first time he had driven while intoxicated? Or even the first time he'd been caught? Yet the only thing that th

Yet the only thing that the public screammed about was the racial slurrs. Not the fact that her was DUI, or that hasn't done any time for his "crime". Yet Paris deserves her sentence and it's justified by society. Why because she's a rich BLEEP, an all she has to do to make money is open her eyes every morning.

I'm sorry I think the whole system needs to be revamped before anything can be completely fair and imparshall when it comes to the laws and our jails.

Hi Sylvia, sorry babe but.........heck no girl-
I have got to disagree BIG! Your right the sentences for others where NOT fair or right. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE FROM THE BEGINING!
Now maybe they will be. I think our laws are whimpy and so are the judges. We need tough laws and tough judges. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE SPOILED SOCIETY WE LIVE IN! WE DO NOT SUFFER... NOT REALLY, COMPARED TO OTHERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AND I KNOW LITTLE MS P. SURE AS HECK DID NOT. I DON'T HATE HER, I DON'T HATE ANYONE, NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL. BUT....I DO DISLIKE HER, HER LIFESTYLE, EVERYTHING ELSE ASSOCIATED WITH HER AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE HER-
WHAT THEY "~REPRESENT~".
I DON'T CARE IF THAT MAKES ME "MEAN" WHATEVER...I DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING SWEET AND NICE TO MEAN, SPOILED, SELFISH PEOPLE. I CARE ABOUT EQUALITY AND FAIRNESS FOR EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING, I WORRY ABOUT BEING SWEET AND KIND TO DESERVING AND TRULLY HURT PEOPLE, AND COULDN'T POSSIBLE CARE LESS WHO IT OFFENDS.

Well now that P----, got a some what fair sentence, ( I think its still too easy and soft) the judges will get a little tougher! (hopefully a lot) maybe now people will notice how ridiculous the punishment is.
THE PUNISHMENT DOESN'T FIT THE CRIME, ALRIGHT.
ITS TOO SOFT! GET TOUGH JUDGES!... ON EVERYONE, FOR BREAKING ANY LAW!

Sylvia, "It's Not A Crime To Be "Paris Hilton"!!!"

Your absolutely RIGHT! ITS NOT-
ITS A CRIME TO ACT LIKE P---- H. OR TO THINK SHE'S A ROLE MODEL FOR MY DAUGHTERS, OR TO THINK SHE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING WORTHY FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN HERSELF, heck, HAS SHE DONE ANYTHING GOOD OR WORTHY EVEN FOR HERSELF? hmmm. and no I don't hate, only dislike. I can still dislike right?
:-) Im so glad your blogging!

I 100% agree with you on that, what she did was a crime, and anyone who does the samething is also criminal. As far a role model, I've got a whole list of prominent young women that I would be honored to suggest to your daughter as a role model, and believe me Paris Hilton doesn't even rate the time nor effort to even think about her.

You're actually helping me make my point on this issue. See I agree with everything you said, except maybe the part about you being mean. :) The unfairness across the whole board is my issue. The severity of her sentence was because she is Paris Hilton and I'll (judge) will show her and everybody else that she's not above the law. Where the slap on the wrist for Mel Gibson was also because of who his is, and I (judge) know he's well respected and believe he'll never do it again. Do you see where I'm going with this, or am I not making any sense.

I have no sympathy for Paris, it's not that I dislike her I have absolutely no respect for her, and even less for her parents. Not because they're rich and spoiled. Because ultimately they raised her, and allowed her to establish such a lack of respect for anyone other than herself. A person isn't born with values good nor bad, they are taught good from bad, respect or disrespect, morals or total lack of morality. Once they've reach a certain age as a parent you just have to pray that you've given them enough tools to make the right moral decisions. If you haven't done a good job they come out like Paris Hilton.

See I'm a disciplinairian, my son gets one verbal warning. I firmly believe he he has a right to know "why" his action was wrong, "how" if did, does or will affect other people, then given examples of different choices he could have made. Then he should be told the consequences of his actions if he should chose to make the same mistake. Once he knows what will happen, and he's aware of why it's wrong and still chooses to do it anyway. At that point he has also choosen to accept the consequences for his actions

All that really happened was maybe to open some peoples eyes to the fact that we have real problems with our judicial system. One of them being how unfair the decision making is on sentences. The consequences for a criminal act should be harsh the very first time around. Maybe if they were, we wouldn't have as many repeat offenders cluttering up our jails.

I like most everybody else are sick and tired of the lack of discipline in our system. I hear that Robert Downey Jr. is doing really well now, and is clean and sober, ame with Charlie Sheen. With that being said, had the judicial system been tougher when they both started down their paths of self destruction. Then maybe, just maybe they wouldn't have lost all those precious years of their lives, living in a drug haze. As mean as it may seem I'm truely hoping and praying that Nichol recieves a harsh punishment (yes, jail time) for her heroin possesion charge. She's so young now that hopefully she won't become a repeat offender.

Well ok! I agree. I guess I misunderstood you. sorry. Yeah, we shouldn't be mean, but its not illegal to be. I know its not nice....but, sometimes we need to be hard so that hard headed people get the msg. I suppose God can seem mean as well sometimes. But...it is what it is. I can't be nice to people who clearly don't care about anyone or anything.
I believe kindness is earned, just like respect. You can't get love if you don't give love. You can't get respect, unless you give it first.

Hilton was sent to a medical ward, where sheriff's officials said it costs $1,109.78 a day to house a female inmate compared to $99.64 a day in the general population.
Mary Tiedeman, who regularly visits the jails as a monitor for the ACLU, said the area where Hilton was being housed was usually reserved for high-security inmates or those worse off than Hilton has appeared.

"I don't know what her health issue is, but you have got to have a pretty intense medical or mental health problem to be in that part of the jail," she said.


Alvina Floyd, one visitor to the at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two hours, and Floyd, 20, blamed the Hiltons for the delay.

"I have to be at work later," she said. "I can't wait here all day."

Shatani Alverson, 23, said she was hustled out of the jail's visiting room moments after her husband walked in because of the Hiltons. She was told to come back after lunch.

PH was probably told "no" many times in her life and as soon as she hit 21 she started becoming more and more famous. Thats when she got into the heavy drinking, clubbing, and drugs which have ruined her life. I think that the "mental issues" are actually signs of withrawal because she doesn't have access to cocaine or whatever else she would smoke, snort, or shoot up. I think that longer she is locked up the better it is for her.

I don't no a judge in the United States of America that will tolerated disrespect. Paris showed a great deal of disrespect for the judge. She failed more than once to obey court orders given by this judge. What the heck do you think should have happened? She failed to come to court on time, she failed to attend the class her ordered her to go to, she was driving on a suspended drivers license. All this is after the original sin. Driving under the influence. Tell your story to a mom that lost a child to a person under the influence. The issue is she pissed that judge off by her lack of respect. Any body that has had any dealing with a judge knows you don't want to piss off the man who can lock you up.

I recently lost my older brother Steve to lung cancer. My father told him when he was a child to take care of his little sister. And he never stopped, we couldn't have been closer had we been twins. He would have been 49 this month. My outlook on life now more than ever is, life is way to short don't sweat the small stuff. Laugh your way through life. If you don't feel you have anything to laugh about, pray to your God to provide you with something to laugh about. But more importantly have faith that he will provide you with all your needs. R.I.P. Steve, I love you! March 20, 1958 - Feb 22, 2007
