Paris Hilton did a Bad Thing, and has more than enough money for good legal defense.
Johnny Nobody did a Bad Thing, and has to depend on crappy court-appointed counsel (not to insult them, mostly they just have too many cases).

Basically, instead of being angry that Johnny Nobody has crappy defense, we get angry that Paris Hilton has good defense.

This makes sense how?
It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with this thread. People are angry because Paris is escaping her punishment, which -make no mistake- is a result of her fame. They are not angry because Paris is famous, at least not in this scenario.

The difference is the "in a prison where she didn't need to be in solitary" part. Upthread people are laughing at the idea of her getting beat up in County. I guess prison violence ain't funny to me.
Again, this has nothing to with this thread. I haven't read every single post here, but I don't recall anyone saying anything like this.

Look, it's not that I think you're wrong per se, but you're angry at something that just isn't there, at least not right here in this thread.

And, her entire damn point was that people are being rather nasty about it instead of doing something to fix the problem. All I've read here was "What? Celebrities get special consideration?! Instead of making constructive criticism of any kind, I'm going to piss and moan and make a fool of myself". That kind of attitude gets an individual ignored.
Not only is this another case of being angry at something that isn't there, you're also doing the exact same thing you're accusing others of doing. You're right though, I should just ignore you.
