Double Standard for Hollywood People


Snoop Dogg escapes jail term. Is it because he is famous or it because he has money to buy his way out of jail? Snoop Dogg is a famous rapper, who is real name is Calvin Broadus. He was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon (baton) at Joyne Wayne Airport in Orange County in 2006. He did plead guilty of one count of felony possession. Snoop Dog only received community service, around 160 hours. Is this crazy? Just because he is a famous rapper, why should he escape jail time? If you commit a crime, you should do the time. Many people feel that Snoop Dogg should have served some jail time.




On the other hand, Snoop Dogg is a famous artist and he should stick to making music and performing, this is what he does best. After all, he was only carrying a collapsible baton. The public does not feel that he was going to do something bad with the weapon. His goal is to make music, not court appearances. He also does alot of charity work and appeared on the Tonight Show.




My opinion is that the famous rapper should definately serve time in jail. He needs to learn a lesson. He has been in the news many times before for other charges, even murder, so why should we let a criminal do what he wants to do. He was acquitted for murder charges in 1996 after an alleged gang member was gunned down in his vehicle. I would make sure that he never practiced music again and maybe if you take something really important away from him; he will finally start to see the light and change his horrible ways.
