Current mood: aggravated

I wasn't going to give this much thought or energy, mainly due to the fact that the media is already doing a great job of OVER SENSATIONALIZING this crap! I log onto Yahoo and here is this BIG story about poor Paris Hilton being returned to jail.. Oh the outrage. Here she is in tears, screaming, begging and proclaiming it ain't right.
Well, I have news for you my sista... or sister.. LOL As a juvenile I spent 9 months in Camp Challenger.. When I was 24, I was arrested on a warrant I didn't know existed, for something I didn't do.. at least not intentionally. I spent 12 long days in between 2 jails. At that time the women were housed at Twin Towers in downtown LA. I was also battling a serious mental condition, Chronic Anxiety Disorder and I suffered from severe panic attacks for which I took medication. At no time did anyone seem to care about this problem. My picture was taken and I was thrown in cell with the rest of the immates.
Needless to say, 7 years later I am NOW fighting a petty theft charge in which they have no evidence on me, except the fact my car was there and I was with some friends. The statue of limitations is just about up on the case and I have not been arrested or in any type of trouble since being a juvenile (side note: previous case mentioned was subsequently dismissed). The DA could care less that I am single mother, with no prior convictions, least of all any petty theft. He could care less his only witness remembers nothing. He is determined to prosecute me to the fullest extent of the law. He definitely doesn't care that if convicted of this crime, it could potentially hurt any future chances I have of obtaining a great job in law enforcement.... why would he? He doesn't know me. To him, I am just another black statistic. To him, I am just a case to be won... I have no face.
When I see Paris Hilton on TV crying about serving 23 days in jail, it infuriates me!! BITCH PLEASE! (excuse the language, on the other hand don't!) There are real people in the world, with REAL problems and the law could care less about them! Here you are afforded more than most people will EVER see in their lifetime. You walk arrogantly through life as if SOMEONE owes you... get a grip. Suck it up and be a woman. You didn't care to think when you were driving around without a license. I know that if I am convicted of this bullshit ass crime... it's probably my karma for all of the other shit I never got caught for... and I will not complain, but take it for what it is... I've learned from my mistakes and I'm not that young girl making stupid decisions. I'm a grown adult who abides the law (except for the occassional finger I give to passing patrol cars while playing FUCK THE POLICE) LOL.
My point is, we've ALL done something in our lives we are not proud of, some more than others. There has to come a time when we ACCEPT responsibility for our actions. Good or bad.
Paris, get over it and yourself!
