Prison. Shower. Broom handle.

It's too bad that she has lead such a sheltered life that she didn't realize that there are consequences that her money and mob fame can't overcome. Even though it may be tough for her, I hope that she is able to learn from the experience.

I initially wanted to write something else, but I'm trying hard to practice mudita these days. Although this isn't directly related, I'm also trying to avoid its antithesises.

Cocaine? Hit and Run?

Only 90 days?

Wait, it's a lawsuit. Did the state decide not to press charges?

This sort of reminds me of the Chappaquiddick Incident Only in this case no one died.

lol

fame and fortune doesnt give you a pass to do whatever the hell you want, princess

unless maybe youre keith moon or jimmy page

Vince Neil only got 20 days for pleading guilty to manslaughter in his duii accident (with a 2.5 million dollar fine). Lindsay has a bad lawyer or a small bank account.
Or...Vince just got drunk and killed somebody while being the poster boy for sex, drugs and rock'nRoll.
Lindsay disrespected the authorities!!
I'm not picking on Vince here, or standing up for Miss Lohan. I'm just talking about our legal system.

Justice is justice I suppose, but still. I found little satisfaction in watching this.

Probation is not meant to keep prisoners out of jails or prisons...

hah. dumb broad

she'll do 2 hours and get sent home

wow, thats long. I wish there was a 3 minute version with the best bits in it.

Translation: TAKE THAT BIOTCH!

I don't remember Robert Downey Jr. crying when he went to jail for being a fuckup. And he's the biggest box office draw today. Think about it, Lin.

I've been noticing the schadenfreude runs thick when it comes to this situation with Lohan. People around the internet are splooging with glee over the fact that she'll be sent to prison...

Why? I get some people have sad little pathetic lives and they're very happy to smile at someone else's horrible life. Why so much joy though? It's very upsetting to me.

Is it just a California thing or is it odd that she still has a driver's license after *2* DUIS?

Suggested tags: favorite pants, guy in the orange shirt did it

Now people all over the net will be splooging over the inumerable womens prison fantasies she will get starring roles in...

But but but, I'm rich and pretty!!!

A lot of responses to this are plain, ol' schadenfreude, but I see this as an opportunity for her to actually learn from her mistakes. Maybe she'll have some time to reconsider not only her actions, but what people should be in her life. So, yea. I'm kind of happy about it.

She'll be out of jail in about a month for 'good behaviour' and overcrowding anyway.

God what a tart - I know I'm soft but I could do 90 days standing on my head.

But yes she won't do all the time if the past tells us anything. I think the sentence should be longer plus pile on tons of community service.

The other thing I would say is I like my judges whose voice projects a certain sense of gravitas. This one sounds like she could be taking my order at a restaurant

Aren't cars the only way they can get around? I'd imagine it's like chopping off your legs and she sure as hell isn't going to walk

Because people like to pretend the world is fair. We want to believe that just because you're hot and rich doesn't mean you'll always get away with driving while coked up. We want to know those specimens of humanity who are far more fucked up than us yet still far more successful don't always get everything their way.

It's to bad she's not going to a federal prison. LOL


What's that line from Office Space?

Maybe she should have done her reverse nude crab walk.

Is the joy perhaps from seeing such great acting from such an unexpected source?

*redacted*

So does this mean "I Still Know Who Killed Me" is on hold?

There's drugs in jail.

Stop crying, you're fucking guilty and you're doing less time than anyone else in your situation would be doing. Read some books while you're in jail.

She had a message on her fingernail:

That's actually my problem with this whole situation. I see nobody saying we shouldn't get the same she's getting just people saying she should get the same treatment we would get. I think it's wrong how the courts can fuck up somebodies life to hell when nobody got hurt and nothing happened. Send people to rehab not to jail.

@Yogi Rehab doesn't work. Neither does jail, I know. Still if you persist in posing a risk to your fellow citizens, it's simply a practical matter of upping the consequences until you listen.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really care if you're big into the indoor skiing or whatever, but don't get behind the wheel. Then, especially then, don't treat yourself like a higher authority than the court.

The DID send her to rehab. Part of the crimes she committed here were for simply not attending the rehab sessions.>> ^Yogi:

Actually most evidence suggests that rehab and therapy does actually work. I know I know the media and all that told you it didn't, silly scientists didn't watch that episode though.

So, you'd rather wait until she killed somebody? Have a good reason to send her to jail?
I feel no pity for this girl. She broke the law. Twice.

And the bitch thinks she's being tortured. Quick, someone bring me a a water board and some water.

From the article:
Later Lindsay vented about "cruel" and "inhuman" punishment. Over several rambling tweets she quoted from the UN Declaration of Human Rights:

It is clearly stated in Article 5 of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights that...., "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." this was taken from an article by Erik Luna.. "November 1 marked the 15th anniversary of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. But there were no celebrations, parades, or other festivities in honor of this punishment scheme created by Congress and the U.S. Sentencing Commission... Instead, the day passed like most others during the last 15 years: Scores of federal defendants sentenced under a constitutionally perverted system that saps moral judgment through its mechanical rules."

In a surprising twist, Lindsay linked to a Newsweek story about Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian mother of two who may be stoned to death for adultery, and asked her followers to retweet. It's unclear whether she meant to lump her 90-day jail sentence with the inhuman punishment Ashtiani faces.

@Yogi Actually, my brother spent the past decade or so in rehab. He repeatedly ODs on the day he gets out (with drugs he got while in). Trust me, it's jail for white people with rich parents. It doesn't work. The only thing that keeps him out of it is fear of going back to real jail. If those consequences aren't real, well, what's to stop you from popping that next pill, or bumpin' that next line?

Also, I'm working on my PhD in sensory neuroscience. Don't talk to me about silly scientists.

We're sick of no-nothing socialites (Paris Hilton and gang) getting off with a slap on the wrist because of who they are. It is frustrating to people that realize if they did the same thing, the hammer of "justice" would come down on them with full force. Just because she made some shitty movies, she shouldn't have different rights than you or I.

I've got the answer...turn off the damn TV and don't look at any entertainment magazines. Also keep on the look out for out of control socialite cars. I get the wanting to make sure all people are treated equally, the way to do that is to stop elevating them by watching their bullshit shows. We created them, then we get mad when they act like they're above us all? BS, turn off the TV, stop making gods of regular people.

Reminds of my ex: Beautiful and thinking that would be enough to get her through life.
If all else fails: Start crying.

Glad Lindsey is going to jail, if only symbolically on behalf of all people of that kind. GG HF.

ZOMG! Repercussions!! My parents didn't teach me this!!!

Jail and prison are two COMPLETELY different things, man -- and on a side note it's pretty effective. I went once and I never want to go back, but at the same time it wasn't at all like prison (people in jail who were on their way "up state" informed me of the difference). Most of the time you just sit around at your bunk, read books, watch television, play cards, hang out and talk to people -- it's literally just hangin' around. (Orange County jails at least.)

But it's also a great big nothing -- what I mean by that is that it's a lot like being in a big ol' waiting room, so there is a lot of time to reflect and very little access to drugs or alcohol. Jail is where you go to reflect on your massive FUCK UP. And Lindsay done fucked up.

I'm upset that she didn't get as much time as the average joe would, but that's a separate issue from my gladness at her going to jail. Jail IS NOT unfair punishment. It's extremely just, especially when this isn't just about doing drugs, but endangering the lives of the community while doing drugs. There's a difference.
