Amy Winehouse Off The Hook On Drug Charges - Page 2
But I would submit that the second crime is as bad or worse than the first, because while under the influence of illegal drugs anything can happen. Perhaps if the law would crack down on people possessing and using illegal drugs, it would cut down on much of the crime and accidents and killings that go on. Does she have to hurt or kill someone before action is taken? What about accidentally hurting or killing herself, in the form of an overdose?
I know you can't punish someone for what could happen, but come on...they are ILLEGAL DRUGS. That alone should call for some sort of punishment. You can't punish someone for hurting themselves, but you can punishing them for possessing and taking ILLEGAL DRUGS. Illegal means "not legal".  Plus, let's not forget that Amy did hurt someone else, if you remember the little headbutting incident a couple of weeks ago. Now that she knows she isn't going to be punished because of some loophole, look for even more outrageous behavior.
Let's look at her traveling companion, Pete Doherty. (That photo looks like a Barbie and Ken Doll kissing nightmare.) This man has made a mockery of the UK justice system, repeatedly either getting off free of any drug charges or receiving a slap on the wrist. He just got out of a fourteen-week jail term after serving just twenty-nine days and brandishing a certificate that said he is drug free. Yeah, he'll frame it and use the glass to hoover up a line.
Oh, and here's a beautiful little tidbit from Amy's mother:
Today Amy's mother claimed on Radio 5 Live that Amy is receiving treatment for her drug addiction, and is attending drug counselling sessions on a weekly basis, "indefinitely".
It's working so well, too. Personally, I think father Mitch's idea of locking her up in a mental hospital to be better than the Dr. Everything's-Gonna-Be-All-Right meetings. I mean, what does the girl have to do to get police to take notice? Hold up a sign that says, "Yes, in fact I AM smoking crack"?
It's no wonder that things are in the state they are in, when you've got stuff like this happening. Two fingers up to the law, because it's party time!
