Princess Goes to Jail

Some people give the justice system a hard time. Killers being set free... innocent people on death row... well there's finally some justice in the world. Mega Bitch Paris Hilton is going to prison.

As little miss snot-face got all teary and sad, the judge sentenced her to 45-days in jail for violating her probation for knowingly driving without a license.

It's about time that Hilton was given what she deserves—well, a small fraction of what she deserves, at least—and is thrown in jail. Reporters were saying that throughout the hearing, Paris wasn't taking it seriously and was seeking to be placed above the law.

You know what her defence was? "I didn't know I wasn't allowed to drive."
It's her own fault if she refuses to listen to people when they talk to her and tell her stuff. Just for that, she should be given even more time.

The judge said "In my opinion, there's not doubt that she knew that her license had been suspended. She doesn't look at her mail, her personal assistant never goes through it either. ... I think she just wanted to disregard everything that was said and continued to drive no matter what."

Paris' mom even yelled at the judge after the ruling, calling him "pathetic". You know what is pathetic? A 26 year who thinks they're a celebrity, rules don't apply to them, can't take care of them self, and the world revolves around them just because their dad has a successful hotel chain. That's quite pathetic.

When I first heard about this, me and my friends were joking around, saying that "oh, they must have finally outlawed stupidity." But if that were the case, she definitely would've gotten more than 45 days. She probably would've been given the chair. Or worse. They'd have to invent a new punishment just for her. Hey, here's an idea. They could crucify her and make it into a reality show. She likes being on TV, right?

Guns Kill People?

Lawyers have been famous for being evil, and twisting just about anything to make criminals seem like heroes. But the lawyer of William Whary, the man charged with murdering 18-year-old Sara Easton in Edmonton, takes the cake. Here's the lawyer's case: when Wharry fired the gun at Easton, he did not intend to harm her. Now, I understand that there are people who have lived sheltered existences... but nobody living in the modernized world would ever think for a minute that being shot is going to tickle. Wharry's lawyer tried to convince the court that the gun was only fired at the group of friends to scare them.

So here's what went down. Wharry spotted Easton walking home from her birthday celebration (the fact that she was murdered on her birthday is kind of irrelevant, but all right). When Wharry saw the group of people, he stopped his car and fired three shots at them; one hitting a truck, one hitting a tree, and the third hitting Easton in the face.

Maybe—just maybe—the lawyer could make a good argument for the "scare tactic" if only one shot was fired. And maybe if there was a jury filled with mindless, gullible seal protesters, he could get them to believe two shots were to scare them. But nobody is going to believe that three shots is anything less than an attempt to kill (or to badly injure, at the very least).
