3 days! No wonder no one takes DUI seriously

[puppetmaker]

There is going to be a news conference about why they released Paris Hilton after only 3 days on at 23 day sentence that was down from a 45 day stint.

WTF?

I'm betting the Shrink got a judge (paid a judge) to spring her for mental health and/or physical reasons.

(EDIT: Apparently the jail was overcrowded and that is why they let her go or that is what is being said at the moment.)

(Edit part deux I was RIGHT! They are saying that for her health they are putting her under house arrest)

Mary points out that the next damned impoverished black man who is pinched for DUI better get the same damned deal, and if she winds up killing someone she wants to sue the judge.

I would like to see DUI mean something.

It is talked about a lot but the actual penalties are next to nothing and hardly enforced.

Either it is a crime or it is not. Right now it seems to be an inconvience.
