3. And when the "Mandatory DUI Interlock System" is installed, it would be "Golden" if TMZ can capture a picture of this guy blowing into the DUI Interlock Breath tester of his vehicle... I hope everyone keeps a close eye on this one. Also how long is his DMV suspension for?

4. And for the record, Everyone is paying very, very close attention to this DUI case in Arizona. We are watching and paying very close attention to not Mr Barkley so to speak, but how everyone around Mr. Barkely is actin in this DUI case. If you pay attention and watch very close , you've notice how "Special Treatment" works, from the Judge, Prosecutors, Police, Jailers, the Sheriff ( Especially the Sheriff) they all seem to have dropped the ball in upholding these "Fantasy Make Believe DUI Laws" Joes Six Pack gets the Max 30 days , pink underwear, black and white stripes, Charles Barkley Gets 36, a press conference and work fur-low, no pink underwear?

7. YEA, YOU'RE FIRST AGAIN TOOFASTFORYOU BECAUSE YOU NEED TO GET A DAMN LIFE. I DON'T KNOW HOW CHARLES MADE IT THROUGH SUCH A LONG JAIL STAY.

8. Why did he only get 3 days???!!! Any other "normal" person would have had to serve more, AND they wouldn't be separated from the other inmates. The legal system needs to stop coddling these people when they break the law...by making him only serve three days, and by separating him...you didn't teach him a lesson, you gave him a break. Put these "celebrities" in with everyone else who is serving time, let them see what they REALLY have to look forward to should they do it again.

9. He didn't get off easy. It's actually just 1 day in tent city for a DUI. Then a butt load of fees.

10. BS Special treatment all the way.

11. Hey Milk Dud Head, shut your yap. The more you talk, the dumber you become. STFU.

12. Isn't this guys' 15 minutes over yet? He's noisy, boring and his voice irritates.

13. Any competent human being knows that one day is a full 24 hour cycle, so 3 days equals 72 hours.
Again here, we have Inept jailers, Inept Sheriff, Inept Judge, Inept Prosecutor.... It has now become a "Fantasy land Make Believe Alice in Wonderland' legal system in Arizona regarding their DUI laws.

Can somebody explain to the smart people? --how 3 days equaling 72 hours magically appears as only 36 hours?
We are all awaiting a special "Inept Answer" to this one!

14. I was present as an observer for Arizona Mothers Against Drunk Driving when Charles Barkley was brought in for processing at the East Valley DUI Task Force command center. Throughout this time he conducted himself as a gentleman and the only special treatment he was given was that he was kept in the van until he was released. This is standard procedure that is used with anyone who is a juvenile, public fighure, or semi public figure. The sentence of 10 days in jail with 7 suspended on condition of successful completion of an alcohol abuse traing course is also within the normal sentencing standard for Scottsdale Municipal Court.

Through out the entire process I do not believe that he received any special treatment, and I have observd hundreds of DUI arrests in Arizona, and studied over 200 DUI sentences from the Scottsdale Municipal Court

15. I might also add this; the work fur-low release does not count as time being served while he's not in jail behind bars! So 3 days in Arizona is really considered 'half days' ? So he got 3 "Half Days" in jail a total of 36 hours. Seems like everyone on this thread is turning a blind eye?

The people of America demand the same treatment fair and balanced to everyone, being held in "Tent City" and across the nation for the exact same offense as Mr. Barkley. Release every inmate from jail for first time DUI's in 36 hours starting right now.

The Emperor has no clothes.

What say you?
