Paris Whitney Hilton is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. None of these facts give her immunity from the law. She should serve the sentence handed to her by the court system.
Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic \"House of Wax\". I am sure you will agree that neither the TV series or the movie have any artistic merit and have in no way improved the lives of normal people.
As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007. Ms. Hilton has spent some considerable effort trying to weasel her way out of these sentence.
We, the people of the world believe that driving while under the influence is completely wrong and the full force of the law should be used against those who commit this offence. We have been shocked, dismayed and appalled by Paris Hilton
Watching the news today reminds me why I started this because nobody should be able to buy their way out of a jail cell when they break the law. I have been spending my nights tracking every loophole people are trying to use to get her out of this and it only makes me more determined to stay on this.

Seeing this progress proves that regular people are exhausted by the idea of celebrities being treated like they exist above the rules. My frustration with this situation felt isolating at the start but this momentum shows that so many of you feel exactly the same way.

Finally some justice. Everyone keeps acting like she plays by a different set of rules just because shes rich. She needs to sit in that jail cell just like anyone else would.

Seriously tired of celebrities thinking they can do whatever they want and just pay a fine to get out of it. 45 days isnt even long enough.
