Celebrity Justice
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."

49. Well, Paris has no one to blame but herself. She needs to do her time and get over it and go on being blond and dumb.

50. I really resent being labeled a hate monger for wishing Paris to do the time the Judge decided.
Hate has nothing to do with it and it's a lame label when you cant find any other reason to justify your biased opinions. Harvey who now uses the term "those in her world" when referring to those who are afraid for Paris is so biased he cant say anything I will listen to any longer.
Paris "decided" not to appeal, Why was that if it's so dam unfair?
I am not in fear for Paris's "fragile" condition anymore then I am for the thousands of others who are locked up in LA county. The sheriff is now also trying to back peddle by putting the blame for moving Paris to home arrest onto the medical staff!.
This just keeps keeping more sick as it goes on and on. I wish the Judge would have NOT waited for Paris that day holding up court and issued an arrest warrant and went on with his day.
Right there is the only miss carriage of justice I can see.
No one would have anything to whine about then. Her little "15 days over time" would not be an issue. She would not be doing 45 days if she had stayed where she was, Still those who need to suck up to the rich would cry she did get 45!.So what if she only did 12!

51. The jail is over crowded? Then why is Paris not sharing her cell with another inmate?

52. Happy the way we are but give us equality and justice under the law.

NO FAVORTISM

53. The judge ordered no early release and that means the sheriff needs to honor that. Days off for good behavior is obviously okay as the judge did not question those.

And has she really been on good behavior?

54. Matt,

Where have you been in the last century? In a cave under the ocean. Not all black people cry racisim when arrested. Where do you get the idea that blacks get breaks? Are you racist yourself? You sure went on a tirade where blacks are concerned. What about the black men who've been accused of raping white women, only to have it be untrue, but, have served 10+ years in jail? Is that fair? Oh, you're a moron, so you'd probably think so.

55. HER OFFENCE WAS THUMBING HER MOST ARROGANT NOSE AT THE JUDGE AND JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE INITIAL CHARGES. THE JUDGE DREW A LINE IN THE SAND AND SHE CROSSED IT. SHE WAS WARNED BUT IGNORED THE WARNINGS SO STOP SNIVELING AND DO YOUR TIME. THEN MOVE TO EUROPE WHERE YOU WILL BE MORE APPRECIATED.

57. What more do you people want from her??? She has already served MORE than if any one of you idiots were in the same situation.

I find it funny that NOT a single one of you has read the same articles that I have saying the above......selective reading?

58. Heather, what's NOT hot are nimrod people like you who spout off profundities like "Write a serviceman, or visit an old folks home!" Get a life! Two-thirds of the readers laugh at people like you. The other third are actually at an old folks home - but they ain't visiting. Recall Baca, throw away the key to Hilton's jail cell, and someone get me a cupcake already!!!

59. Someone should free the people cleaning hilton hotel rooms from earning minimum wage, and the people cleaning their houses for min. wage, cooking their meals for min. wage, doing their laundry for min. wage, washing their bentlys for min. wage, picking up after them for min. wage....the hiltons would be helpless and poor if it weren't for these people that they look down on..
