Deadly Weapons

Last month, Britney Spears got busted for hit-and-run and driving without a valid license.

According to prosecutors, on Aug. 6 Spears struck a vehicle in a parking lot at 12800 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, then drove away.

"The incident was captured on videotape," said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office. [SNIP]

In a video of the incident, Spears' Mercedes-Benz convertible is seen grazing a Mercedes station wagon as the pop singer attempts to steer into an empty space. The video seems to show a small dog on Spears' lap. Afterward, Spears is seen apparently inspecting the vehicles.

You know and I know that that girl was baked. Most perpetrators of hit-and-run are and this is Britney we’re talking about here.

“So what,” I hear you say. Well here’s what: when Britney or Paris or Nicole or Lindsay kills someone else’s child or someone’s grandparent while engaging in yet another iteration of insufficiently-punished sociopathic behavior, the relatives of those murdered persons will indeed care. And they will not give a rat’s backside that these “women” are famous and/or “attractive.” And, as is the case when other types of offenders repeat their crimes, the relatives will wonder what these creatures were doing free in the first place.

Mindless “starlets” following the well-worn (pun intended) path of narcissistic bimbos everywhere are making the streets unsafe. (One might call this contemporary way of life the Monroe Doctrine, but at least Monroe seemed to be a danger only to herself.)

Between the various classes of inebriated drivers—the bimbos and the illegal immigrants, both of whom seem to be free to offend over and over again--and the just plain reckless variety, (can you say “cell phone?”), driving in LA is a daily exercise in avoidance.

(Aside: How bad is it in LA? I got cut off by the LAPD the other day! No emergency lights and no signal; I managed not to hit him though, since he spotted my in his mirror and swerved back into his own lane. Unfortunate; I could use a new car.)

It’s harder to find the illegals, but Britney and her ilk are easily found. When will LA’s legal authorities stop putting up with these menaces? I am sick of these bleach-headed [expletive deleted]. Throw the book at Spears, LA prosecutors. Make an example of her before she kills someone—perhaps one of her own children.

Sadly, it's a part of the celebrity worship too many Americans fall into.

The same thinking that says it's actually important to know which Hollywood star is marrying who, when you've never met either, won't attend the wedding, and won't send them a gift also says that these are Exceptional People, better and more important than the rest of us, and should not be burdened with such things as "responsibility".

If every whine of "Don't you know who I am??" was answered with "Doesn't matter, sit down." this country would be a better place by far. We really do have two classes of Americans- Hollywood and the Viewing Audience.
