Lohan probation revoked

Community service in a morgue? Ouch. And oh no, they work 8-hour shifts? The horror!

Lohan sucks. She used to be a relatively promising young actress, but she has done a number on herself these last few years.
 
^Yeah, so would everyone else. I am SO not interested in hearing about her any longer. Just throw her ass in jail already---and leave her there, just like any ordinary criminal would be treated.
 
This overcrowding is bullshit. If you or I were in that courtroom for exactly the same charges as Lohan, or maybe even a few less charges, we'd be in jail in heartbeat, overcrowding or not. Someone is getting paid under the table.

watch closely the video on the page and the other coverage. aside from the fact that Lohan decided not to show up for community service, her doctors and other probation people reported that she was doing swell on her probation, and notice her lawyer reading off those reports. I am almost certain that they were paid under the table... because Lindsey knew that she would have to confront the judge, and that she hadn't reported for the community service she agreed to, so she had to make sure (in order to get off) that she could tell the judge something good, so she paid these doctors very well to give her the most positive reviews ever. I mean, think about it, she was working (I mean, partying, according to photos in People magazine, I think) while she was working abroad when she should have been at that women's center. I'm glad the judge didn't let her off easy. Good for that judge.
 
Really unfortunate what has happened to her, it doesn't help that she doesn't seem to have any support system that discourages the things that she does either. I was a fan of Lindsay's until she started self-destructive ways and basically ruining her career.
 
I'm amazed she's still alive, to be honest. I can't see her ever straigtening out, her parents are the worst and her hangers-on seem to be enablers/fellow users. Not a good scene. Eventually she'll tick off the wrong judge and have a prolonged jail sentence.
 
Good for the legal system to finally put a foot down.. it is general assumption and belief that the legal system favors celebrities and let's them off more easily so it's good that at least in this case the judge calls bullshit openly and cracks her a new one.
 
As i understand it bail is common to most procedures unless there is a risk of evasion.. sometimes the amount is too high for the person and they have to go to jail.

However in Lohan's case she can pay (i assume.. i believe she's near broke) and is a well known face so evasion is unlikely.

"But I wasn't leaving the country, it's just Tijuana."
 
When I posted this thread, I was really glad that she is getting some comeuppance, I don't feel she should get special treatment. I also hate how her court visits feel like photo ops.

I still feel that. However, after looking at the other CNN videos, there was one that showed her as a bright young star, and a more recent pic, and the contrast between the two is stunning. I look at her hands, her eyes, and her hair and I realize that this girl is dying. Seriously, she is dying. She looks like people that I have seen that are addicts. I don't want to see her get celebrity special treatment, but I don't want to see her dead either.
 
She has access to more resources than 99% of the population. If she doesn't take advantage of them, that's really no one else's fault.
 
True, but a lot of people in those kinds of situations don't understand just how much help they need. Her resources also give her the opportunity to get away with it more than other people.
