Celebrity Justice
Sir Charles -- I Only Blame Myself

Charles Barkley has just stepped up to deliver a press conference from inside Tent City Jail in Arizona.

Charles Barkley|Launch Photos

Before the presser, Barkley was photographed as he first got to Tent City by KTVK in Phoenix. In the photos, Barkley is rocking a Nike tracksuit, a gold chain and a ridiculous grin.

Contrary to earlier reports, Barkley will not be forced to wear the legendary pink boxers or striped uniform.

Because he is on "work release," he will be able to stay in his clothes the entire time.

Story developing ... video to follow soon.

6. Chris Brown is lucky CA doesn't have the same type of justice system as Arizona! In fact, why would anyone dare that system at all? We bet they have the absolute lowest repeat offender record in the USA! Unlike here in CA...Where we have heard more than one guy say they can't wait to go back on vacation (JAIL)...

7. This is an outrage and a slap in the face from the Sheriff playing favoritism, towards the people of Arizona, the inmates in jail in pink, in stripes for the exact same thing as Mr. Barkley.... Joe is a SUCKER, and his Tent City is a Biased Joke!

8. Nobody in jail for DUI smiles like that.... I wonder why he's smiling????? Perhaps he has friends like these.... from www.duiblog.com

From the Denver Police Department Operations Manual:


205.07. Violations by Colorado Legislators.

(1) Pursuant to Article 5, section 16 of the Colorado Constitution, no member of the Colorado General Assembly may be arrested while in route to or from legislative sessions, except for treason or felony violations..

(4) In the absence of felony violations, should an officer have reason to believe a legislator is driving under the influence, the officer may cite for a violation which caused an accident or was the reason for a traffic stop. For the safety and welfare of the public and the legislator, the officer will arrange for other transportation for the legislator and his/her vehicle will be parked and locked


So….It’s ok for a politician to drive falling-down drunk on his way to work or back home. In fact, he’s given a free ride home — or to the capitol to cast an intoxicated vote.

Who makes these crazy laws? Oh, right…the same politicians who are falling over each other to pass tougher drunk driving laws.
