Weeping Paris dragged back to court in handcuffs

Last updated at 19:46pm on 8th June 2007

A sobbing Paris Hilton was forced back into court in handcuffs today after the judge who originally jailed her decided to get tough on the celebrity heiress.

A Los Angeles County Sheriff's vehicle arrived at her Hollywood home to collect her on the orders of Judge Michael Sauer and she has now arrived at the courthouse.

The Sheriff used a private entrance to escort her into the courtroom.

Shamed Paris was originally due to make an impassioned telephone plea to a court in an effort to remain out of jail. However Judge Sauer was unsatisfied.

"...The hotels heiress was taken from the courtroom to the cells screaming and crying and shouted out: "It's not right..."

What's not right is drinking and then driving and then driving again (and again) after your driving license has been suspended and you've been told (specifically) that you can't drive! This vacuous, empty headed, idiot thinks that she should be allowed to do anything she wants, break any law that is on the books because - and only because - she's Paris Hilton?

This is till the United States and we do have people who think they are 'Royalty' and that the Laws of the Land don't apply to them but this is still a Representative Republic and the Laws really do apply to everyone!

Perhaps Bill Clinton (remember the Ron Brown funeral) was her crying coach. :-)

Nah this guy has struck me as just as big of a goofball egomaniac as that judge in the Anna Nicole Smith custody hearing. Sans the crying during court. I think his name was Larry Seidlin.

I'm trying to understand when Conservativism became about laughing and rollicking in other people's misery and screwups??

I'm also sure 90% of the people having a great laugh claim to be "God-fearing Christians" as well.

Nice job FR. Nice job.

[Saundra Duffy]

Law abiding citizens all over the country were outraged that the little brat was getting special treatment. If your family member had been killed or maimed by a drunk driver . . . well, it would be hard to take.

Actually, my brand of conservatism includes key principles like rule of law, individual responsibility and moral norms.

These are just three of several principles that are part of the mission of organizations like ISI.

Read about the background of ISI here: http://www.isi.org/about_isi.html

It’s actually very good to see someone (Hilton) who has shunned these principles now dealing with them in a very real way. Her incarceration may just serve as a public lesson to others who might want to emulate her.

Hopefully, she will be all the better and wiser after her incareceration.

However...I am NOT holding my breath.

BTW...I think that FR is doing a very nice job too!

Rule of law eh? So where does the judge have the ability to take an original sentence of 45 days and reduced to 23 for good behavior and extend it BACK to 45 days because the Sheriff, not the defendant, let her go to home arrest?

Rule of law applies to all, including the judges.

Let me guess, when a judge oversteps and penalizes a conservative, like Scooter Libby, we all cry in agony. But when they get Paris, we all cheer?

This is very little about "rule of law" and very much about class envy and enjoying other people's misery.

Hilton screwed up and deserves a fair punishment for her actions. That doesn't mean we should all be high fiving and relishing in her punishment. It's juvenile at best.

[Pinkbell]

She wasn’t a pothead, though. She was a drunk driver who violated her suspended license twice. She (along with Lindsey and Brittany) seem to be losing control of her life. This intervention just might save her.

[rednesss]

Yeah but it’s killing me having to watch it.

[dangerfield]

F.R. rabble on display here. Keep ‘em down, I say.

[GoRepGo]

Her parents did her no favors by raising her as an over indulged, spoiled brat. She is completely without remorse or accountability for her blatant reckless behavior.

----------------------------------------------------

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys

Enough with ruling society by the what-if's that never happened. And as far as the hard to take part, how about those Amish folks not too long ago, they weren't braying for blood or their ounce of flesh:

In just about any other community, a deadly school shooting would have brought demands from civic leaders for tighter gun laws and better security, and the victims' loved ones would have lashed out at the gunman's family or threatened to sue.

But that's not the Amish way.

As they struggle with the slayings of five of their children in a one-room schoolhouse, the Amish in this Lancaster County village are turning the other cheek, urging forgiveness of the killer and quietly accepting what comes their way as God's will.

"They know their children are going to heaven. They know their children are innocent ... and they know that they will join them in death," said Gertrude Huntington, a Michigan researcher and expert on children in Amish society.

"The hurt is very great," Huntington said. "But they don't balance the hurt with hate."

[Joe 6-pack]

The Amish are free to live their lives as passively and forgiving as they wish because, to paraphrase Orwell, they live in a nation protected by rough men willing to do violence on their behalf.

In many other societies, the Amish would have been martyrs in the soil and a footnote in history.

[Pinkbell]

I know what you mean. I don’t have cable, but it is my understanding FOX and CNN have been covering it. I know those stations can get a bit repetative. There is also much more important news than a celebrity going to jail.

[Eaker]

Paris,

Quit posting and go to jail.

We know it is you.

[rednesss]

That’s so hot.

Actually, I cried today when my 42 year old son left after visiting with me for a week. And it’s working, he’s going to come back next week for a couple of days.
