Paris if a free woman again...

that's strictly my opinion. i have no professional degree that makes it any more valid than your's but...c'mon for christ's sake.

i also think it's laughable to suggest a psychotic break is in the wings. she seemed okay a few days ago when she attended the mtv awards show.

i'd buy clinical depression. i think she's finally having to deal with some things she doesn't want to.

but again, according to defense attorneys quoted in the l.a. times today, that is never sufficent for an early release.

Well, I do have a MS in Psychology and 35 years experience in mental health but I don't pretend to know how she is doing, only that the symptomology is understandable given the circumstances...extreme emotional trauma often leads to acute depression, SI and psychotic presentations. There is nothing laughable about psychosis and why do you think that narcissitic personalities aren't subject to depression and SI? Still...the most obvious thing to me is that the authorities made a decision and sent her home, the judge could have obtained the facts behind said decision...he could have ordered that they present him with same, but instead...he ordered this young woman brought to him publically in handcuffs and sent her back to prison without ANY consideration of the reasons for the decision to release her! This isn't justice...this isn't fairness, this is a "pissing contest" with her stuck in the middle!

This is the best possible thing that could have happenned to her, and I'll bet she'll confirm this herself one day in the not so distant future. At that point, anyone who was defending her will be scratching their heads & still won't admit they were wrong.

You just don't get it do you? It isn't about Paris Hilton, it's about justice and fairness. Forget it's her, how would you feel if it was your daughter, mom, sister or friend...I'm thinking this will be overturned on appeal, the judge has probably overstepped his authority here. In any event, she'll probably be out on bail Monday. Will she probably get a book out of this? Little doubt. Might she use this to rehab her image? Possibly! None of which speaks to the point...I'm the one who always decries the failures of the legal system when poor folks go to jail and rich folks skate, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I didn't denounce this obvious judicial ego trip using a wealthy well-known young lady as a political pawn!

This isn't about Paris? She wasn't the one that blew a .08 and was arrested for DUI? Since you're into hypotheticals, what if she would have taken somebody out during her little reckless burger run? And, to answer your question, if it were someone in my family, or a friend, I guess I'd be going to visit them in the joint!

Then that's you!

Oh yeah, your quote from the Josh Hancock thread...

I understand that the family is suffering by losing a son but this is another example of folks simply not taking responsibility for their own behavior...or, in this case, a father blaming everyone but his son for his son's behavior. According to reports, the restuarant manager tried to talk him into taking a cab, he was 2x the legal limit, speeding, talking on his cell, and he had grass in the car...the family should consider themselves lucky if the tow truck driver and the person with the disabled car don't sue them (son's estate). He could have killed several innocent people as well...sad, but this action is indefensible!

so...lets not blame everyone else but Paris...but hey, you're entitled to your opinion

You continue to focus on Ms Hilton, I've said from the beginning that she is responsible for her actions...this isn't about what she did, it's about her treatment by this judge!!! Knockout punch? I think folks are so filled with their view of things that they can't tolerate a different opinion!

I don't think this is anything to do with politics.
