EVERYONE IS PISSED

Paris Hilton was released this morning after a leisurely 3 day visit to jail for what was supposed to be a 45 day sentence, and many LA County public officials are not happy about it.  The president of the LA Sheriffs union says that this kind of treatment for celebrities is typical under the reign of Sheriff Lee Bacca.

"There appears to have been preferential treatment.  This is not the first time that this has happened. Remember Mel Gibson.  On any given day, a thousand female inmates are in custody. Why is one case, out of the blue, treated any different than them?"

And L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe says:

"This incident with Paris Hilton is just the most recent that highlights the problems our criminal justice system has with making sure sentences stick, whether it is in a County jail or under electronic monitoring."

Meanwhile, professional pain in the ass Al Sharpton had this to say:

"…this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released.  This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise…"

The only good news is that Nicole Richie is set to face a judge soon about her DUI and maybe the backlash from Paris will cause everyone to go nuts and overreact with Nicole.  They’ll all want to look like they’re tough, so they’ll just load Nicole into a little rocket and then shoot her directly into the sun.
