Lindsay Lohan needs to go to jail! She just got arrested for her second DUI with posession of cocaine, chasing a car with her recently quit assistant's mom in it (and prob the asst also) in her car. C'mon, it's not hard to fill in the blanks. The assistant got yelled at or started to see a coke party start and she quit, calling her mom to pick her up. Lindsay got pissed and was drunk and possibly high, and started chasing them in her car.
She was found a BLOCK away from a police station, drunk above the legal limit operating a vehicle, with cocaine ON her. How in the world can she escape going to jail? I say this bc I have this bad feeling she just might bc she's a young white girl.
After these arrests last wkend (pulled from SF Chronicle):
Ja Rule and Lil' Wayne Arrested for Gun Possession
Hip-hop stars Lil' Wayne and Ja Rule have been arrested on separate gun possession charges in New York.
Lil' Wayne -- real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr -- was arrested in Manhattan shortly after his performance at the Beacon Theater on Sunday night.
Police said Carter was found carrying a .40 caliber pistol after he was stopped for smoking marijuana.
In a separate incident, rapper Ja Rule -- real name Jeffrey Atkins -- and two associates were arrested in Manhattan for speeding. A .40 caliber pistol was also found inside his vehicle.
It is hard not to see race being a factor. In general white Americans have a hard time seeing how race plays in arrests and who actually spends time in jail. They say, "People only get arrested and jailed bc they did a crime. Cops arrest equally and judges imprison equally." It's really not true.
I could be wrong but from the above report, it looks like Ja Rule was pulled over for DWB (Driving While Black) and the car/people unfairly searched. I find it hard to believe (yet possible, I'm not a Ja Rule fan or anything) that he had a gun visible in the car for the cop to look in and see. That's what cops are allowed to do - look for visible evidence of crimes and illegal activities when they peek their head into the car. There has to be a strong reason for them to LEGALLY search the car and persons but we all know searching our sisters and esp brothers of color happens all the time.
I don't know really the situation with Ja Rule. Maybe he deserved it. I just have to say I'm suspicious and if he gets arrested for having a gun on him, then Lindsay had better freakin' get in prison for her second DUI in two months and in possession of cocaine.
And I really don't want to see her do a Larry King interview after she gets out.
