Old habits are hard to break

Here is Pete Doherty leaving the Thames Magistrates Court in London (you think he has a little cot on permanent reserve there?) on bail and heading straight to The Priory rehab clinic (after buying cigarettes of course). Doherty was arrested yesterday for possession of cocaine, diamorphine, and cannabis. What is up with the justice system over there? If he was in the States he would be serving more time than most child molesters.

He never gets put in prison because the number of drugs that floats around in there will never help him kick the habit. The judge knows that he has a better chance of kicking the habit in rehab. Tp be fair, it does look like he's been getting better and doing less of the drug. He looks less like crap than usual.

In my next life, I should be a celebrity because they just get away with more crap than the average person.And why the judge hasn't forced him into a drug rehab like Robert Downey is beyond me. Of course, we know that when he does quit, he'll blow up like a ride at Disney World. Remember Courtney Love when she detoxed? God, she was huge until she got into an exercise program!

'..what's wrong with the justice system over there...?'It's just.

Rather the child molester in prison than a junkie that can buy his own drugs

He is a train wreck. If he wants to kill himself he should be given a gun so he can just get it over so we dont have to watch the pathetic show and waste more tax payers money on court cases etc.
