She is NOT “just like everyone else” no matter how much that offend the pseudo egalitarianism of the average American.

Just as a disabled or mentally handicapped prisoner is going to require special handling, someone famous is NOT “just like everyone else” A sane Judge would of fined her $1 mil or sentenced her to 200,000 hours of community service rather then inflict this circus on the jail


This is from the story if you click on it:

Paris may still get out of jail early, as her sentence is likely to be reduced for good behaviour — and her lawyers are planning to appeal next week.

Is acting like a spoiled rotten crybaby - and expecting to be treated better than the other inmates - considered "good behaviour"? From your comment above, to me, it sounds like the judge is quite sane. He probably observed her petulant behaviour in the courtroom, examined her past record of disregarding the law & ignoring judgments passed to her during other convictions. She clearly thumbed her nose at the courts & was spiraling quickly downward to self-destruction & possibly taking some innocent by-stander with her.

It would be one thing if Paris had demonstrated that she "gets it" & showed some remorse and sensitivity to the seriousness of the charges against her. If she had shown a modicum of respect for the system. The girl clearly has some drug & alchohol addiction problems that her high-falootin' spa/resort/rehab facilities have not been able to correct.

The judge, in my opinion, showed rare insight into this girl's serious problems & determined that a dose of reality and paying for your actions (for the first time in her life) might be the only thing that finally cracks her hard & pampered head! This judge is trying to do Paris and the rest of us a favor - this, if Paris & her family would just realize - is the best thing that's ever happened to her. It might just save her life.

alicewonders, you are the first poster who makes sense.

I totally agree with you, and hope people will quit criticizing the judge. He is, in my opinion, the first to take any action to try to save this woman from self-destructing.

But, she seems to me to have narcissistic personality disorder, a truly tough ssituation for even the best psychiatrist to deal with. It may be too late for her, but I respect the judge for making the effort.

BINGO!!!!! The problem is not that she is rich and famous, it is that she thinks she is above the law and has been engaged in destructive behavior.
