Lindsay Lohan Taken into Custody

Celebrity gossip rags were all buzzing Lindsay Lohan was going to dodge a bullet today and not be arrested for filing two drug tests. No such luck for her. Lohan was locked in handcuffs in the courtroom and hauled off to jail. Already a couple witnesses say the shocked look o her face was priceless. too bad there were no cameras allowed in the courtroom. That is probaly one for posterity.

This is the first time Lohan has faced Judge Elden Fox I court. She was not present at the hearing I which he promised to sentence her the thirty days in jail for each drug teat failed or missed. He appears to be ready to make good on his promise. Lohan will appear for sentencing October 22. While I have doubts she will stay in the pokey until then, Fox means business.

Celebrity justice is virtually always a joke in California. Nabbing Phil Spector for the murder of Lana Clarkson is the only instance I can recall of a celerity not getting away with thumbing their nose at the law. Lohan has been asking for it, though. Making a drunken tweet at a bar about failing two drug tests? Very dumb.

I try to be as sympathetic as possible with substance abusers. But I come from a long line of alcoholics and realize there comes a point where you have to stop sympathizing with someone suffering from the “disease” because their attitude is nothing but abusive. Lohan has well passed that point. Warehousing about the only thing left, barring a miraculous attitude adjustment, that will keep her out of the grave. Not that I am optimistic.
