Do celebrities deserve reduced sentences? Fuck no.

Do they inevitably get reduced sentences? Of course.

I have to agree with you.....

Do celebrities deserve reduced sentences? Fuck no.

This. Money talks, bullshit walks.

I think your all forgetting the case of a Mr. Wesley Snipes.

He served the longest sentence possible under the bracket for tax evasion. Many people still claim to this day, that he served longer than was necessary. In fact, it is widely believed that he was made example of BECAUSE of his 'celebrity status'.

Although this doesn't necessarily disprove the rule.

See: Paris Hilton , Lindsay Lohan ETC

You know Lindsay Lohan is being given 24-hr protection in a superior cells because it is feared she may become a victim of "lesbian gangs"....

I was astounded....

We could read possibly too much into this and see that Wesley Snipes is a black man but Lohan/Hilton are white girls.

Ooooooooooh.


Celebrities should get the same as everyone else.

 

[crudus]

Why is this a question? No they should be sentence based on the crime. Why would someones fame give them a free pass?

 

[infernovolver]

So i just found out some "rapper" named lil wayne (no idea who he is) is going to prison for having an illegal firearm and weed on him, now he has been sentaced to a year (as far as i know) BUT!! i saw a a group on facebook to get 1 million people to sign a petition ro get his sentance reduced because he is a celeb.

so my question here is this: do celebs deserve reduced sentances?? why? or should the get harsher ones as they are (sorta) role models to kids? all other opinions welcome!

EDIT: I forgot to add what i think, i think he should serve the full time ( i also happen to think that his sentance is not long enough)

That man deserves life for how bad his lyrics are.

 

[ultimateownage]

A year is light enough! Someone came to our school once to talk to us, and he had gotten about 5 or more years for the same thing! Besides, it's a rapper, rapper's are all talentless cunts.

 

[monkey_man]

be famous in prison "famous boy"!
hehe.. i hope this leads to stereotipical prison routines :3
noone except me should have reduced punishments!
(i suffer enough as it is ..... )

 

[Elemental]

Sent him to prison and I hope he stays there.

If you're rich you should have a lesser sentence.

Explain please, or are you trolling?

OT: No celebrities should get the same sentences as everyone else, why shouldn't they?

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

His sentence isnt nearly as long as it should be, its ridiculous; but i dont think its just because he is a celeb; i think the justice system is waaaaaaaay to lenient in general these days. But as far as your question goes, i dont feel celebs should have special sentences, i mean, define a celebrity?
They should serve time like everyone else, which i still feel isnt enough [in a LOT of cases]

I say the people in Medieval times got it right! ;D

 

[Julianking93]

No, I wasn't talking about you. You don't strike me as the kind of person who idolizes Paris Hilton.

And I'll spare you, of course. Why would I ever want to bury someone I genuinely like in a coffin?

Could I become a co-ruler of your utopia?

 

[Thaius]

If their sentence is to be altered at all, it should be longer. If a celebrity is a role model for anyone, mistakes made should be punished as if not more severely.

I would personally say just give them the full sentence, and make it non-negotiable. No way to shorten it. Celebrities in no way earn the right to less punishment than normal people.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I never troll. If you have more money, you should get out earlier if you use that money for good

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

Nope, they don't, and it's not like we can set up a petition to PROLONG the sentence, that would be silly.

 

[Hristo Petrov]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it "And justice for all" and not "And justice for all unless you are famous"? He should get the exact same sentence as every other man in his position regardless of all the people on Facebook who want him to do less time.

 

[The AtticWarrior]

Fuck. You. Humanity.

Hmmmmmmmm...

Maybe...if a good amount of money was given to charity. However They shouldn't have sentences as short as this for things regular people would get much harsher sentences for.

 

[Mechsoap]

why should they get to evade punishment for being known by many?

 

[LocoRocoPandaCookie]

I think that the laws were put in place so that everyone would be punished for crime. I think he should serve the same ammount of time someone else would. Just because they're celebrities doesn't mean they should be above the law.

 

[oreopizza47]

No, of course they don't.

If they break the law, they shouldn't get special treatment because they're supposedly above the average person.

Well they should get special treatment. That special treatment being an extended prison sentence almost entirely spent within the confines of a coffin buried underground, with the only form of oxygen and nourishment being provided through a drinking straw.

I love this website so much...

OT: I agree that the celebs don't deserve reduced sentences, although lengthened sentences are unnecessary also. Let them know that in at least one corner of life, they have to be just like everyone else.

 

[teisjm]

I'm still amazaed, that some people actually think that if they pull out a large enough random number out of their ass and get that many people to sign, they will have their way.

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. So what countries and sectors do you want?

Japan, England, Germany, Canada and Norway, please. If that's not too much to ask ^-^
