Paris isn't free -- and neither are we Paris Hilton's strange celebrity hits a new nadir after Friday's chaotic perp walk. Will we ever be free from her now?

  • She is An Irresponsible Sack of Nothing

    What galls many people I think, and why everyone is engaging in group hate, is that this talentless skank is famous merely for being famous. That is bad enough. But she is acting like so many children of privilege by showing that she is not worthy, that inside she is a weak wimpy person, less of a person than most hard working Americans who struggle through life. This makes her even more contemptible.

    If Paris Hilton was not from her famous family, if she was ugly (not that she is pretty), she would be another 'nobody'.

    Then to defy the law as if it does not apply to her. Maybe she can cry herself out of this like so many other women who get away with murder.

    Maybe people are sick of wimpy women.

  • Paris and Scooter

    Maybe no one wishes everyone would avert their eyes from this story more than Bush as he contemplates a pardon for Scooter Libby.

  • I've never had so many letters removed so fast!

    I must be doing something right.

  • Can they

    waterboard her at her personal Gitmo?

    please??

    mabe she can tell us where Osama is.

  • Poor little rich girl

    As we watch this little rich girl have to deal with the reality that the world and all the people in it just aren't her toys to push around on her own checker board, I think of all of the less well-off people who suffer far more mental stress in jail, but would never have a prayer of convincing people that they are worthy of immediate release like she. Give me a break--if mental breakdown is a reason worthy of immediate release (with a follow-up, apparently therapeutic party thereafter), then we should just open the doors of the L.A. County jails and let out all of the other people who haven't had all of the advantages and freedom that poor old Paris has flaunted ad nauseum.

  • I can't help but wonder...

    if all of her antics have hurt the family business. I can't believe that stock in Hilton hotels (assuming they sell stock) would not go down because of this. This is a woman (yes, a grown woman) who does nothing but party for a living, whose parents are not requiring her to get a job, and keeps doing more and more outragous things for attention. How could all this make the family business look all that appealing to business travelers who actually do have to work for a living? If I were constantly away from home for work and couldn't be with my family because of it, I certainly wouldn't want to give my money to a hotel franchise who lets their child get away with as much as this girl has.

    Maybe if sales at Hilton hotels start to fall off because of this girl, they'll finally force her to grow up.

  • SHE HAS USED THE N-WORD MULTIPLE TIMES - so watch the video right here if you must defend her

    is that enough for you Paris apologists?! and gc_wall, for you to dare compare this cruel racist's fate to that of Iraqui children - how the hell do you even look at yourself in the mirror?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3JfCpojoFk -- 2:59 minutes in, and 4 minutes in. And THEN ask me why I can't muster any sympathy for this spiteful, spoiled, pathetic excuse for a human being.

  • Al Sharpton, the black racist, uses his Johnson, to Put Paris Hilton behind bars.

    Okay, all you retards out there. Paris is getting punished because she is a wealthy white girl. There is no law against being a party girl. Otherwise Madonna would be serving a life sentence for corrupting the young women of America. This is about Black Al Sharpton hunting for a white girl to punish. Al Sharpton? He should have been put behind bars for life all his criminal activity, but because he is a black racist, he can say anything he wants and get away with with. And even worse, the main stream media gives this black retard credibility.

    Yes I said black retard, because he said white girl Paris gets a breake for being white. LOL. Al, Remember O.J.?

    Al Sharpton is a hypocrite and a racist!

    And the white judge that put her behind back behind bars was probably using a penis pump (that is part of the black robe attire.) LOL

  • For the foreigners' information

    For the information of the foreigners who post here expressing amazement at the treatment of Paris Hilton, they should know that the American public is among the most vindictive and merciless in the world, even while groveling to its "leaders" and authority figures. It is a pack that would daunt even the Dog Whisperer.

    This morality-based venom, which has been inherited from the Puritans, has been on vivid display in the case of Paris Hilton. Sheriff Baca regularly sends offenders with Paris Hilton-level convictions to serve home detention, and no one has raised a peep. It's not as if the courts aren't aware of the practice, but the judge has behaved as if he discovered all this now. Cravenly, the judge caved to the public scream and sent Paris Hilton to jail for the whole original term. And you can betcha she will serve every minute ofr it, because a million eyes are watching the clock, ready to scream " SOMEONE GOT AWAY WITH SOMETHING!"

    This sterling people that is up in arms over "indecency" (witness the brouhaha over Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction") thinks nothing of keeping more than 2.2 MILLION people in jail and prison - a veritable gulag. On top of all that, many prisons are for-profit and owned by major American corporations that have a vested interest in the punishment industry. This explains why a Virginia woman was sentenced to two years and 3 months for serving beer and wine at her kids' teenage party in their home, and why pain specialist William Hurwitz got 25(!) years because some of his patients had sold their narcotics prescriptions.

    Whenever a target of moral opprobrium presents itself, the American public howls for blood like wolves, and the punishment structure reflects this disposition. Mandatory sentences where 10, 20, and 30 years prison are regularly handed down, and horrifying prison conditions are the hallmarks of American "justice," which is in reality a continuation of the judicial philosophy of the Wild West. Just look at Texas, America's leader in executions.
