Musician Pete Doherty must be jailed with no parole
While in the UK, I cannot help but shake my head at the crazy and dangerous antics of musician Pete Doherty. He is the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss.
The latest incident is his guilty plead to five drug charges. Obviously, he is a crack cocaine and heroin addict for a number of years. On April 20 of this year, he was caught in possession of cocaine and diamorphine as he drove in his car. On April 29, he was caught again with cocaine, this after he was out on bail. On August 7, he was caught a third time with crack cocaine.
His defense lawyer, Sean Curran, said "The are facts clear but I would urge the court to consider that Mr Doherty has made every effort to improve his situation." He told the court that Doherty's career would "suffer" greatly if he was jailed.
The prosecution cited Doherty's inability to steer clear of drugs while on bail as a cause for concern.
The shock of this is that Magistrate Mrs A. Rose (the person overseeing the case) granted bail to this drugged music artist. The three conditions were:
1. Live and sleep at the Prioy clinic
2. Daily curfew from 10pm to 8am
3. He cannot leave the clinic between those times
Honestly, do you really think he is going to come out drug-free out of that drug rehabilitation clinic. One of his close friends even said that "Pete was not a criminal... it will give him a chance to continue to recover." Bollux! Bullsh*t! A complete lie!
This is the same person who squirted a MTV cameraman with a syringe filled with is own blood, and he apparently injected himself with heroin prior to the interview. This is the same person that returned to the UK after a failed attempt to get himself "clean" at a rehab clinic in Arizona. He got arrested in Birmingham for driving a stolen vehicle. He was arrested for injecting himself with drugs on a budget airline.\
In April, he pleaded guilty to seven counts of drug possession, and the judge sentenced him to community service with a 2-year supervision order and 18 months of drug rehab. C'mon! Any other regular person would have been sentenced to prison.
Also in the same month, The Sun published pictures of him injecting heroin into the arm of a passed out fan. The image shows him holding the syringe as the girl lies unconscious on a kitchen floor. In his defense, he said it "was only a joke" and that it was staged. LOL! The girl was even defending the crack singer saying that the Doherty was extracting blood, not injecting any drug substance.
Really, enough is enough.
Someone ought to tell Magistrate Rose to rescind her conditional bail, send the police to the Priory Clinic and drag Pete Doherty to prison with no parole.
He has gotten PLENTY of slaps on the wrist for his many arrests. In the UK, he is committing a Class A Drug Possession violation - the category that includes hard-core substances as cocaine and heroin.
Send him to prison please. Every day he is out free sends a terrible message to the rest of society.

This is rediculous! I know this is happening in the UK but it's happens here in the USA as well. Why should certain people be given special treatment simply because they are famous? If we're so intent on having equal rights, how can we allow these people to make second-rate citizens out of the rest of us? Whether or not someone is famous should not be taken into account when deciding on a punishment for their crime. Whether I do it or Pete Doherty does it, it's still the same crime.
