Oh dear...

I think he should be shot once with his own firearm in a non-lethal area of the body. Then he should watch as the judge gets to smoke all his weed while he doesn't get any. Then we can call it even after he runs arround a busy part of town screaming "I am a dildo!".

Doing time in prison does very little in terms of rehabilitation so I believe that the more unorthodox punishments are better.

Any chance we can joint control Japan? If you'd like it all to yourself, that's fine. I'll just take Australia and the rest of the Far-East. Except North Korea. Nobody wants North Korea.

And you never said what sector you want to be head of! Such as education, economics, censorship etc?

That goes without saying. No one wants North Korea. Though, if you like, we could share control over the Asian countries given how much we like the culture ^-^

Oh right, sorry. I forgot about sectors. Um....education and censorship, maybe? Those are two sensitive subjects with me, so I guess it's only reasonable I take them up.

Celebreties don't deserve shit as far as I'm concerned when it comes to crime and punishment.

They fucked up, they should face the concequences like everybody else.

 

[Knusper]

I'm not for celebrities getting reduced sentences, no matter how awesome they are. However, I can see the sympathy a judge might have because celebrities often have to stay in solitary confinement because of their high profile.

 

[Zirat]

No way, just because you're well known and well off doesnt mean you should get treated better.

If you are proven guilty, the Buh-Bye! Off to jail for you, no petitions and nothing else getting you out other than proven innocence.

 

[Rune342]

A celebrity should be treated the same as everyone else. Just because they are richer or more well known than somebody else doesn't make them above the law.

Agreed...but he is a rapper... so I say we give him a good thrashing, some community service, boot-camp, a boot, and send him to a remote arctic fishing village without any sort of connection to the outside world. There he won't be a bad role-model for kids, and he damage my ears any further.

That's one way to deal with it, but giving our own problem to a bunch of innocent fishermen won't solve anything either. That's enough of a shock to possibly destroy the whole village.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Neither. They should be treated based upon their crime and nothing else. They are just people like everyone else no matter how many people know their name or how much money they have, and they should be treated as such.

Unless you're David Bowie.

To respond seriously, however:

Of course not! They may not live like us wankers, but they're still wankers damnit! And all of us wankers need to go to Wanker-Jail as Wanker-Protocol has dictated, in Wanker-Fashion.

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)

You never heard of Lil wayne? Weak.

Anyway, No, they have to follow the same rule as someone else. Like the Lohan girl who back in jail every other month.

Also, on Lil wanye again. He and T.I are idiots, good rhythm, but How can you be so dumb? Also his time? It's fine. That about the amount you get for having a illegal gun and some small amount of drugs.

Non-lethal? Are you kidding?

If you shoot someone in ANY part of the body there is a chance they WILL died from blood lost.

You alitude disturbs me.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

I believe that they should have the same punishments as everyone else. They shouldn't get off easy because they're popular. It's the sense of entilement that probably makes some of these people commit crimes. They think "I'm famous, so that means I'm special. The laws don't apply to me in the same way as they do other people." They should get the same treatment as everyone else, no matter how harsh it is.

 

[Johnny Reb]

Lil Wayne should be put down. regardless of his crime.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Absolutely not. Celebrities should be treated just like everyone else. I don't care whether you're Joe or Jane Doe or God, if you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished. Just because he makes shitty rap and has a following of people with bad taste does not mean he should get off easily.

 

[ssgt splatter]

I don't give a shit if someone is a celebrity, they should serve the full sentence.

 

[Sacman]

They deserve a harsher treatment...

 

[The Fork of Truth]

No-one is above the law. Nor should anyone be punished more severely based on their position in society.

 

[thedeathscythe]

So...because he broke the law, and a bunch of fans make and join a facebook group, he should have a reduced sentence? I don't see how any judge would even give half a care what those fans think, or how many people are in some silly facebook group.

 

[Death God]

Reduced? Hell, no.If anything they deserve more. If they are an iconic image one minute and then a drug-y the next, people will begin to think it's o.k. because "a celebrity did it". Just ridiculous stuff in the world.

 

[Lalalarzi]

You'd think they should have a more severe sentence is anything, cos they're role models and get more publicity. They'd make a good warning of not to be an idiot and copy them

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

As far as the law is concerned, everyone is equal. Therefore, said "celeb" should be treated as anyone else would be. Full sentence.

 

[F-I-D-O]

Same sentence. Break a law, gets the punishment. So he's a celeb. And?
If anything, celebrities shouldn't get bail. If you can easily pay it, then it's not a punishment.
He's human, he broke the law, he gets locked up.
Random dude does the same, he gets the same treatment.
Pretty simple.
