Pete Docherty Jailed

[Grav]

Finally a Judge shows some spine and jails him for breaching his probation.

Pete Docherty has been taking the mick out of the Justice system for far too long IMHO and this should have happened a long time ago.

good riddance about time someone had the balls to do something.

As far as I'm aware he hasn't mugged any old ladies, nicked anyone's DVD players to fund his habit. All he has done is taken some substances and probably had quite a good time doing so. He's harmed no-one but himself.

You could argue in a jump of logic it is like speeding - yes it's against the law but as long as no-one gets hurt where is the harm? Does a habitual speeder (I'm sure there are plenty here) deserve to go to prison for doing something illegal that they enjoy?

I don't like the bloke but prison for that when little scrotes are getting away with beating people half to death takes the mick a bit.

I agree and disagree with what you said Joe.

I think its madness that drugs are illegal. It has been proved that prohibition is not working and even the class of drug does not seem to be based on any scientific evidence into long-term effects or damage to society.

For example i read a while back about a kid about 16 years old that wanted to try extacy for the first time. Picked up off a guy he didn't know and dropped at a rave/party/whatever. He was actually given a something that wasn't extacy at all (methadone i think it said) and was found dead in the morning. He didn't die because of drugs directly, IMO he died as he wanted to try a relatively safe drug (when compared with alcohol) and didn't have the access to a safe supply. Had it been legal/he had a safe source he would have not died.

I was also watching Crimewatch last week and they did there top 10 most wanted. All of the people wanted were rapists, murderers but 4th was a guy wanted for distributing Cocaine. They didn't say he had hurt anyone, just dealt some coke. He was above rapists, people that make their victims scared to leave there house. I mean yea cocaine kills but its a bit more self inflicted than someone murdering you lets be honest.

Although this said, i do think that if they are putting people in jail for these crimes they shouldn't cut celebs any slack

Fair point Joe,

But for me personally, I hope the parasite od's in the joint. Seems to me that theres plenty of people that are jailed for having lesser amounts of less harsh drugs but he gets caught countless times with the whole spectrum of Class A's and everytime is told "oh just go to rehab". No point in fining him , the guys got plenty of money, and no amount of community service is gonna stop a crackhead from his habit.

I;ve had the misfortune to be in proxy to bloody crackheads/smackrats and they are just the vermin of society, and its pricks like Pete Doherty that glamourise such shit. Sure he aint mugged no old ladys, but thats because he's got money to fund his habit, but without a doubt if his record label dropped him tomorrow within weeks he'd be a scavenging vulture prepared to do whatever to get a fix.

Basically I just cant stand the cretin so coudlnt give a shit if he departed this earth tomorrow, he can take Amy Winehouse with him whilst he's at it.

Wasn't the problem originally highlighted by him burgling his fellow band members a few years back?

He's not been jailed for drug use, he's been jailed for the fact his drug use breaks the terms of his probation order - which carries the force of law once imposed.

Those living under a suspended sentence have had more than their fair share of warnings, and should gain no sympathy when it all comes crashing down on their head.

He isn't really a proper rock junky. the likes of Bowie, Iggy Pop and the like did it properly. Either he does it properly or not at all. just playing with it isn't good enough and his music is crap.

He's defintly pushed drugs on groupies and the like, he's usually on it. I know because i knew some of his followers. Im all for rock and roll but keeping it quiet is a good thing.
At one point he was driving a different XJS Jag every month or something, he was stopped driving a jag on speed or coke, he had it on him and in the end was done fr possesion when he was clearly under the influence in a non legal motor.

There's a few other instances but it all add's up, the guys a bit of a looser.

When he's not on the skag, he can actually perform well.

The point is not that he is a smackhead, more than he keeps flaunting it and driving around whilst smacked up.

If it was you or me doing it, we'd be in for 5 years. He gets 14 weeks.

It's disgusting and reinforces the inability of the CPS to perform for it's citizens and creating a "one rule for them and one for another" society.

I think the point in clamping down on drugs is that they support, and are supported by, organised crime.

I don't see the harm in taking them, but behind the scenes I imagine they have had a hell of a journey to get into some monged out teenagers gullet

What gets me about the slimy git is that he was offered rehab several times, he was then ordered into rehab and has had chance after chance after chance to get his act together and sort himself out.

He has been in court on numerous occasions and each time, his legal team have got him dealt with leniently.

Now then, should I, or indeed anyone else here not fortunate enough to be famous get caught for the same offences he has committed, then we would be in jail at the third court hearing. No excuses would be entertained by the Magistrates and few months behind bars would be guaranteed.

As he has money, he could afford to pay for Justice to be in his favour. You or I would have to rely on getting Legal Aid and then still get sent down.

Two tier Justice System at it's worst IMHO.
