That Lindsay Lohan should go to jail for 90 days and Johannes Mehserle, who shot an unarmed Oscar Grant in the back while on top of him, should face the possibility of walking free is an outrage. Lindsay Lohan's probation violation related to so-called drug and alcohol abuse is more about Judge Marsha Revel getting more attention for herself and a lousy lawyer in Shawn Chapman Holley who seemed more intent on throwing her famous client under the bus than helping her.
While Lindsay was in France for The Cannes Film Festival, her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, got before the cameras and said that her client was partying, that it's what girls her age do, and that its something that she herself would not do. Talk about tossing your own client to the wolves! Anyone in the entertainment industry knows that its at events like Cannes that relationships are made that enhance current contracts and make new deals. Yes, that's Lindsay's world.
And this social desire to see someone famous placed behind bars when it's obvious to anyone that she was making her court dates and markedly improving her path, is nothing more than the bloodlust of a loser, slacker society that thinks the everyone should be treated exactly the same way for the same thing.
No. A person like Lil Wayne should not be in jail. He should have been sentenced to make an anti-gun song and video and album.
Lindsay's punishment should be an anti-drug PSA, not this ball-and-chain public flogging crap, where she's punished for missing a deadline she really tried to make. Please hurry up and legalize Marijuana so this silly hook-em-and-book-em can stop. If Lindsay Lohan wants to get high and drink, let her do it so she can learn a real lesson.
Complaints about racist or sexist treatment aside, it's awful to see how America has embraced not getting ahead. Our high unemployment rate is due to Americans not forming their own businesses and teaming up with people and just wanting someone to give them a check for little work, as much as it is to the off-shoring of jobs.
Don't complain about Lindsay because she's a celebrity - stop whining and fearing success; work to become known yourself.
To the extent my view pisses off America, I'm delighted. What this country needs is a swift kick in the collective pants, anyway.
