Oh, joy!
Paris Hilton is sent back to jail
Paris Hilton taken screaming from court… now that would have been entertainment. Thank goodness she’s back where she belongs. Hopefully any silly notions of house arrest will soon disappear in Hilton’s mind and the reality that, yes, she actually does have to take her punishment – takes its place.
She will have to serve her full 45 day sentence, the judge told her. Hilton, when told this shouted that “it’s not right”.
It’s very right. What’s not right is driving while drunk and violating probation several times.
House arrest on “medical grounds”.. riiight. Wonder why no details are being released…. maybe because you faked a convenient breakdown?

My favourite online guilty pleasure has a possible link to the medical emergency. Scan down to the “Rocky to the rescue” part of her blog today and you’ll see what the speculation is about. Could it be? I was betting on coke withdrawal myself. What a classy girl, huh?

I read it. And I’d bet on coke withdrawal. She’d have been able to snort to her heart’s content in her home… gonna be tough for her.
That’s exactly what I thought: “Not enough blow here in prison”.
When it comes to Paris we can clearly see that she’s a little girl who has not grown up to become a responsible adult. The fact that so much attention has been focused on her is something she surely takes for granted as her due. IMO the undisclosed medical condition could be anything and the fact that it’s “unknown” only fuels the media, paparazzi and her “fans” keeping her in the spotlight. What remain is the fact that she was a drunk driver who was in contempt of court. IMO we should all “help” Paris serve her well deserved time in obscurity by ignoring her attention seeking antics.
No Sympathy
That hag deserves to be in the slammer.
Plus I really think this “medical emergency” was her herpes acting up.
And if my theory is right, I feel sorry as HELL for the person who had to do her cavity search. Ugh.
BTW love the blog!
Childfree Chick – yuck, what a thought.
Thanks for the compliment on the blog though
Brightfeather – the plus about all this is seeing the vast number of people who actually can’t stand her, have no sympathy for her and think she should go away for a lot longer than 45 days….so far they seem to have a louder voice than her fans. Nice.
Many black people do jail for less or sometimes nothing. My understanding the jail time is for driving on a suspended license. Paris is being made an example of and the time is too severe for the crime. I would not have been upset if she did her time at home but, Paris welcome to my world. This is how blacks in the court system are treated
its got nothing at all to do with skin colour, its about breaking the law.
you break the law, you pay for it. she was arrested for breaking the terms of her probation, she drove while banned.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/08/paris.hilton.ap/index.html
She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. In the months that followed she was stopped twice while driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer’s courtroom.
not only did she break the law the first time, but 2 times after she violated her probation. if that doesnt deserve 45 days then nothing does, it should be more
JD – as Mercurior has said she broke the law. She did it repeatedly. She drove while banned. Should we wait until she kills someone (as Brandy has done)before we say her punishment is fair? Last I heard she’s still free, mores the pity. Granted there are lots of other idiotic and stupid airhead celebrities just like her whose drunk drive crimes haven’t yet caught up with them. The thought of Ms Hilton doing her “sentence” in the luxury of her home makes me want to heave. It’s a pity she didn’t get 90 days. In fact, it’s a pity they don’t toss the key.
“its got nothing at all to do with skin colour, its about breaking the law.”
Innumerable sociologists would disagree with you vehemently, but you’re right in the other aspect – Paris simply broke the law and should be subject to it like any other common person.
well sociologists are there to feather their nests, they create these problems, then say we were right give us more money. they do studies paid for by the government or by organisations that prove their viewpoints.
isnt it amazing that all these studies agree with the people who bought them.
http://www.hewett.norfolk.sch.uk/curric/soc/A-z.htm, they are paid to research, and there are as many views as sociologists themselves.
http://www.sociologyindex.com/aasociologists1.htm
by telling us there is a problem, we create the problem, since its claimed racism in so many fields, we watch closer now than we ever did, this sense of observation, makes people paranoid, and if they make a minor offence, it is noticed. with all the PC crap, we have to monitor everything closer. and if that means more criminals are arrested, is that good or bad, if they have done the crime, they should be in prison.
The problem with making that kind of broad generalization about
sociology (besides being incorrect) is that you forget this same field
often deal directly with the topic this blog is about. Sociologists
deal with how people behave in groups (and groups within larger, overal
groups).
Yes, they are paid to do research to explain one thing or another and often for the benefit of an organization or government. That still doesn’t make their research any less valid. To say they are merely causing problems to further their own cause (“to feather their nest”), then that really is just burying your head in the sand.
In the case of law enforcement, it’s a hugely wrong thing to say ethnicity doesn’t play some role. In America, statistics have shown African Americans are pulled over more frequently than whites, even if no law was actually broken. More blacks are arrested for crimes in the US than whites. So, no, saying racial qualities do not play a role in law enforcement is a huge misnomer. It’s not as simple as “you break a law, you go to jail” because the available statistical information shows clear racial inequalities. Though please realize I’m not speaking for the UK, but the US where I live.
Really, Britgirl’s blog is about her being CF and the subject therein. Some of the best research available into the subject has been done by sociologists, particularly where the most blatant conflicts between some people – those who think kids are necessary to life satisfaction and those who don’t.
but sociologists, dont make single statements, next week it will be one thing the week after another. sociologists only observe, they dont participate in the society they are studying i am not talking about the generic studies about “ALL” humans, but the specifics, how many childfree were asked, how many was studied, this all has to be tempered with the knowled that surveys are just a sample, not everyone. its like going to a army base and asking everyone there do they beleive in war, going to a predominatly family orientated business and asking all the people in there what do they think about children. all sociologists can do is say that TODAY this is what happened, not whats going to happen tomorrow let alone next year.
ok so some of the best studies, but also some of the worst, sociology is not infallible. and american sociolgy is determined by the cultural standard of that area, even down to the state, town, village. so how can there be a single sociological structure, when the town you live in, isnt like mine or that of the brit girl. thats the danger to beleive that sociology has all the answers, it doesnt and it never will. it pigeon holes everyone into categories, when we all know humanity is individual.
i didnt say ethnicity doesnt play a part, i said it shouldnt matter the colour, right is right and wrong is wrong, breaking the law for good reasons, is just as bad as breaking the law for bad reasons. does that mean black people in jail who have been found guilty of crimes are less guilty than if white people did it.
right is right, wrong is wrong, rich people are able to pay for the best defences, guilty or innocent they may be. all i said was ” it is noticed. with all the PC crap, we have to monitor everything closer. and if that means more criminals are arrested, is that good or bad, if they have done the crime, they should be in prison”,
should we look away if someone is white, or black, no, should be arrested people who break the law, regardless of colour, yes. look at winkler 210 days for shooting her husband in the back, is that right no, if it was a man, would the prison term be higher. probably. so there is more than the black white debate theres the male/ female debate, more men are in prison, than women, theres stories about women being released due to 6 of them killing themselves in a year in the UK, yet 92 men killed themselves yet nothing is said about that. mothers are released early for some very brutal and horrific crimes, because they are mothers. are these right, or wrong.
“but sociologists, dont make single statements, next week it will be one thing the week after another.”
That’s research for you. Things change, societies change, people change. Believe me, it’s very hard to keep up with these fields.
“all sociologists can do is say that TODAY this is what happened, not whats going to happen tomorrow let alone next year.”
Correct…except that their job isn’t so much to predict as to observe traits and trends that have been occurring then offer a feasible prediction as where those observed results might lead.
“thats the danger to beleive that sociology has all the answers, it doesnt and it never will. it pigeon holes everyone into categories, when we all know humanity is individual.”
Not at all; and it’s the other way around, actually. Society pigeonholes people into categories automatically. Why are there still poor and homeless people? Why do some people and their races fair better than others? Inequality is built into every human social system and sociology attempts to provide an answer as to why.
Now as to your point about American sociology being different from the UK, your, my and Britgirl’s home towns being different from one another – really doesn’t make much difference. Again, you’ve got a hypothesis or theory you’re wanting to research and you just acting as observer. That’s what is so infuriating to a lot of people who do this kind of work, they’re not allowed to have an opinion.
“right is right, wrong is wrong, rich people are able to pay for the best defences, guilty or innocent they may be. all i said was ” it is noticed. with all the PC crap, we have to monitor everything closer. and if that means more criminals are arrested, is that good or bad, if they have done the crime, they should be in prison”,”
Which was a cheap way of trying to disprove my original point, which you didn’t even address.
I quoted this statement: “its got nothing at all to do with skin colour, its about breaking the law”, which you know how I responded. Paris Hilton committed several crimes in Los Angeles, California, USA and she has made a media circus of the whole event. In a perfect society race, ethnicity, and gender would play no bias in the pursuit of justice. Does that actually happen? No.
Honestly, I can’t make sense of the rest of your passage because you’re reaching way past my points.
Just realize, the issue of color and ethnicity in law enforcement isn’t as straight forward as you might think.
i never said it didnt happen, i just said, it should be one law for everyone.
and sociologists only see the broad picture and use broad categories, but not the specific. there are many reasons why we cf are cf, some dont like kids, some love kids, some work with kids, but we dont want them, within that sociological group, there is a many sub categories.
same with criminals, should we have a pro white male bias when it comes to crimes, no. thats just as bad as a pro black bias.
but its about the cultural system,
http://www.blackbritain.co.uk/news/details.aspx?i=1554

*Mr Nestor said : “ I think that for a long time that black fathers have received bad media coverage. When I think of my peer group, many of them are not with their children, and do not any contact with them, which is never a good thing.
The former ‘Casualty’ star also said the community should not bow down to the pressures of negative stereotypes linking black men to gun and drug crime, the high percentage of ‘gym-slip’ (teenage) mothers and the lack of strong role models in the community.
He stresses that the main cause could lie in the growing trend of the bling-bling culture.
When a young black man is in a relationship, they learn to share, care, and compromise. Sometimes black men put pressure on themselves by trying to achieve too much material wealth rather than society itself [putting pressure on them].”.
in part is a personal cultural decision, in part it could be racism, but which is the biggest problem
so thats why its MORE important to have the same law for everyone.
“i never said it didnt happen, i just said, it should be one law for everyone.”
If you read my responses, you’ll also see that I agree with you.
“and sociologists only see the broad picture and use broad categories, but not the specific. there are many reasons why we cf are cf, some dont like kids, some love kids, some work with kids, but we dont want them, within that sociological group, there is a many sub categories.”
Sure, there are a myriad of reasons why you and I or anyone else do not have kids.
However, while we’re quibbling about the validity and role of sociologists in explaining social behavior, it is beside the main point. Again, you said race and color have nothing to do with the law in a general sense with no real explanation behind it. I wasn’t sure if you were speaking from an ideological standpoint or being very honest. So, again, there was my response.
“same with criminals, should we have a pro white male bias when it comes to crimes, no. thats just as bad as a pro black bias.”
I agree, but remember – we both live in separate countries with two slightly different yet very similar justice systems.
And I’m sorry, you were right earlier – some things really are culturally relative. For example, the US has very expansive gun-rights laws whereas the UK doesn’t. That aspect alone plays heavily in the American court system, as you can imagine.
That’s an interesting article, too. I sent your link to a friend of mine (ironically, he’s a sociology major!) and he said it was our revenge for England giving America punk bands
I’ve taken criminology in college and we hardly spent any time talking about foreign court systems. Yes, the obviously different ones like China’s and Russia’s, but not enough on the European and UK systems. Europe, the UK, and the US have the same general outlook regarding law – everyone is held and tried equally before the law, but wow the approach is certainly different from culture to culture.
yes, thats the problem with the broad cultural sociologists, they only see groups, not the differentiated groups, the most racist man i ever knew, he hated everyone who wasnt his colour, he was black, broad socialogical studies cannot make a determination about specifics. the categorisation of people in specifics can be very misleading at best, but very dangerous at worst.
i am sure quite a bit of the sociologists in other countries found studies to prove that x was lesser than Y. thats the danger, but it is very pernicious this beleif that one size fits all, so great evils have been done, and some good, but you cannot rely on such a broad category study.
i am not saying they cant do good, but it has to be taken with care what they say, and be wary of too broad a grouping.
yes we dont have the kind of gun culture, its rare here, but there are places, so as you said that is a cultural difference. i am not saying we are better or worse just different. i am a bit of both an idealist, i want everyone to be treated the same, i dont care but crooks are crooks, you break the law you pay for it hopefully by prison. i beleive passionatly in justice is blind, but i do say people in the public gaze has to be held to a higher account, because they are in public, they affect so many more people by their actions or inactions.
(i am not angry i actually liked that discussion made my day love discussing things like that so long as people know i dont do it due to malice)
punk only lasted 7 months
Is it me or is this now very much off-topic? Me earlier comment failed to move it back on topic, so here’s a recap.
Paris Hilton broke the law..
Paris Hilton was sentenced for breaking the law.
Paris Hilton was sent to jail for breaking said law…
Paris Hilton is now where she should be – I’m happy about that.
Paris Hilton is sent back to jail- has nothing to do with colour or sociologists…
I could care less what the sociologists are saying – unless it is related to Paris Hilton is sent back to jail – and they are commenting on my blog about Paris Hilton being sent back to jail. Otherwise they are irrelevant to this article
Et Voila! We are now back on topic! =)
The only thing that sucks about her going to jail, is that she’ll be twice as popular once she gets out. She’s never going to go away !
Unfortunately, I fear you are right. She’s never going away. I hear today she is granting some in-jail interview…Sheesh!
And now she’s out… oh well. One can only hope this will be the making of Ms Hilton. Unfortunately I can just see the tv shows all lined up… ack!
he he he
American newsreader Mika Brzezinski, co-presenter of MSNBC’s Morning Joe programme, refused to read out the story of the celebrity socialite’s release from jail ahead of items on Iraq and developments at the White House.
Miss Brzezinski first screwed up the script and refused to read it.
The enraged newsreader ripped the story to shreds
Then, on the next bulletin, she refused to read it again and took a co-presenter’s cigarette lighter and tried to burn it.
Later, she refused to read the script for a third time and took it straight to the shredder in the studio, where she fed it into the machine.
