Thousands Tell County -- What's the Deal with Paris?

A TMZ user fired off an e-mail to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, complaining re: Paris, "Money talks, regular folks stay locked up." Here's the response he got from the Sups:
LA County Seal, Paris Hilton
"Thank you for your note regarding Paris Hilton. We have received thousands of e-mails from members of the public on this matter. Please know that the Board of Supervisors shares your concerns and has asked Sheriff Lee Baca to make a public report next Tuesday, June 19. The Sheriff has been asked to provide the reasons for the premature release of Paris Hilton from the Sheriff's Century Regional Detention Facility, including the reasons for not placing her in an appropriate medical facility such as the jail ward of the LAC+USC Medical Center. As you may know, the Sheriff is an elected official, so the Board of Supervisors has limited authority over that department."

166. 3. LORD! Get over it people...she's back in jail already serving more time than most people with this violation would have served. No matter what happens people are going to bitch about what happened. Instead of everyone writing emails and letters to complain about Mr. Sheriff and Ms Hilton, why don't you try writing to a service man or woman or go visit an elderly person in a retirement home????? Quit complaining already!

I'M TIRED OF HEARING PARIS FANS CRAP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

VIOLATING PROBATION IS PUNISHABLE UP TO 90 DAYS FOR HER WHAT SHE DID! YOU ? SHE IS NOT (NOT) SPENDING MORE TIME THAN MOST!

THERE ARE PLENTY OF CASES IN CALIFORNIA WHERE PEOPLE THAT VIOLATE THEIR DUI PROBATION SPEND THE ENTIRE 90 DAYS IN JAIL!

PICK UP A FREAKING BOOK AND STOP WATCHING PEOPLE ON TV TRANSLATE THE LAW FOR YOU!

AGAIN - SHE IS NOT IN JAIL FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION! SHE VIOLATED HER PROBATION WHICH IS SERIOUS!

ALL THIS DUMB BITCH HAD TO DO WAS PAY A FINE, ATTEND SOME DUI CLASSES, ATTEND A DUI VICTIMS PANEL, AND APPLY FOR A LICENSE TO DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK AND SHE DIDN'T DO ANY OF IT!

NOT DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE MAKES PARIS, HER PUBLICIST, AND LAWYERS LOOK LIKE IDIOTS! SHE SHOULD FIRE THEM ALL!

168. I was not a real fan of Paris before this, but she has brought herself up a bit since this happened. She faced her fate like an adult, owned up to her mistakes. That takes guts.

I hope she holds out well under the pressure, and feel that she's been very adult about this.

169. ISN'T IT IRONIC HOW THINGS WORK:

THIS CHIC REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE: Paris tried to prepare herself and pretend to be stoic and reserved. She even had the nerve get her her weaved, makeup done, strut her @ss on the red carpet get up the next morning primp fix her hair and prepare to take her GLAMOUR MUG SHOT again thinking she has control of how her mug shot will look. HAH!

She thought her money would get her out of her situation and she'd return to the glamour scene unscathed and martyr status. She really thought she had it made. can you imagine that when she arrived home and her motley crew asked wow girl, your home. I bet her reply was "money bitches, I would never do time and ........) She also claimed upon her release that she was "takling responsibilty for her actions and that she hopes that she inspires other to the same. (child please!!!!!!!)


LOOK WHAT HAPPEDNED IN THE END:

Just when she thought she was home safe sashayin around in her barbie mansion the chic was RE- arrested and the REAL MUG SHOT APPEARED. No glamour, cringed, crying, weaveless and just all out a mess. She was even escorted from the courtroom kisking ans screaming for her mommy!

SO UM PARIS? WHAT NOW? Looks like the BITCHED GOT YOU!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

170. Memo to Paris: SUE YOUR PARENTS for abuse through negligence.

Your parents can take credit for creating and nurturing one of the most vapid, superficial, spoiled, and arrogant individuals to ever receive such vicious and widespread loathing.

Among the concepts your parents failed to instill in you:

Your millions will make you a target, especially if you have no humility.

Class cannot be purchased at any price.

Drunk driving is serious, not cute. Defying the law has consequences.

The name Hilton does not make you untouchable. You might even encounter a person of position that cannot be swayed and is not amused by your antics.

Privileged or not, the universe does not revolve around you. You do a disservice by surrounding yourself only with sycophants.

Not everyone wants to live vicariously through your narcissistic life.


P.S.

The public, (notwithstanding your addle-brained fans) was not born yesterday. They are insulted by your shameless, clumsy attempts to manufacture drama and portray yourself as an unfairly treated victim. These clichéd but sad acts of desperation—the tantrums, wrapping yourself in the flag, evoking the name of God, crying for your mommy, etc. etc., simply showcase your hollow character.

So buy a clue-- The real world doesn’t function like your dopey TV show… it’s not limited to people with a twelve-year-old's intellect.

One more thing, the public is weary of your exhibitionism. Exposing your crotch isn’t particularly ladylike and wears thin pretty quickly. Contrary to your belief, the world really isn’t fascinated by your genitalia.

Hint: simply keeping your legs together and your mouth shut would go a long way towards being the role model you proclaim to be.

172. What? You thought the asshole politicians would actually read something a mere potential voter sent them? If there was no money in the envelope with the comment, forget it.

173. I like #3's comment.

I can't stand the spoiled brat like a lot of folks, but get over it already; she's doing more time than most do for this kind of minor offense (depends on the state your in, I guess,) and doesn't need to deal with it. She's still a kid and having fun, doing the occasional stupid thing.

She gets waaay to much air time, but only because like-minded folks want to share her silver spoon experience.

Go donate your spare time and energy to a real purpose.

174. The Ignoranus is where she belongs, a jail cell. STOP STEALING MY OXYGEN

175. She is a Spoiled A** little rich girl with no talent. They need to forget who she is and give her what the law requires. If that was me or my friends they would have locked us up and through the key away!!!Sheriff needs to do his job or loose it. How much money did she put in his pocket?

176. She never accepted responsibility for breaking the law more times than 3 but only charged for 3. Get it through your heads, by not accepting responsibility she's decided to become a victim of the court instead of a selfconsumed victom of her upbringing and lack of remorse or shame. Yes folks, I said shame. Like "shame on you Paris for thinking the world buys your act." Only other nonresponsibility acceptlessees see it Paris' way. The rest of the world, you know the world that know s how to discern truth from lies, see what a mockery evil person she has become. Yes folks, mocking the court system. She could have killed someone. Wake up Paris. You should stay in jail until you realize your responsibility and accept it. You know like how you con'd your parents out of making you go to school past the 8th or 9th grade. You know you're a con in more way's than one now. You should be soooooooooo proud of yourself. Even God asks you to judge yourself before He does. The death of an innocent on the roadway because of you - well you know I'm waisting my breath. Paris, you got God? We'll he tells us to kick the dust from our feet and not throw pearls to the swine. You go God, Paris?.

177. for real, you people think her parents are to blame??? I can see in lindsay lohans case where her mom is a self proclaimed "mom-ager" but Kathy and Rick Hilton aren't involved in the lives of their daughters that way...paris is 26 years old mommy and daddy dont need to take care of her anymore.

178. I think Los Angeles should waste no time getting Sherrif Baca out of office. The man is a disgrace to the legal system. Fire the bastard. How much did the Hiltons pay him under the table I think a full investigation is needed. Since when does the Sheriff outrank the judge? Glad I moved out of Los Angeles. What a corrupt place. Money buys all sorts of favors. The judge should put the Hiltons in jail for their behavior. They are so NOT HOT!!!. No wonder Paris is so screwed up. Better idea have the Govenor put Paris, her parents and Sheriff Baca in the Gas Chamber. Good Riddance

179. Come on people, this is far from her first offense. She needed a wake up call for her own good.

Needless to say, the famous and wealthy pay less of a price than the rest of us. If it were us in that jail, we'd be sharing a cell with Bertha and for a long time at that.

I realize it costs $1000 dollars a day to keep her in there, but geez... let there be some equality and justice in life. Let her pay her dues as we would. I guess money does buy everything. This is DISCRIMINATION for the rest of us, It's sad. I don't feel sorry for her at all.

180. The sheriff seems clearly bribed - and after all didn't Paris shout: "that wasn't our agreement Sheriff!".

And yes, both bribing and being bribed are crimes.
