SCOTT WEILAND SERVES 13 MINUTE JAIL SENTENCE FOR DUI
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 at 1:29pm by Vince Neilstein
TMZ is reporting that STP-frontman Scott Weiland served a whopping 13 minutes of an 8-day sentence resulting from a drunk driving arrest this past fall.
Is there no fucking justice in the world?? Forget whatever pre-conceptions you may have about Weiland, his bands, or his struggles with drug addiction (I happen to be a Weiland sympathizer). But for anyone to serve 13 minutes of an 8-day sentence is fucked. For anyone to receive an 8-day sentence for something people usually get a full year for is fucked. For a man convicted of a second DUI to get off scot-free with a $2,000 fine and some alcohol counseling is severely fucked. That people arrested for possessing a small amount of harmless pot get it way worse than someone who was actively endangering the lives of others is fucked beyond all recognition.
This just proves that rich run this country, make all the rules, and can get away with anything they want. Rich peoples’ rules, people, rich peoples’ rules. Our legal system is fucked beyond belief and completely at the whim of dollar signs.

Maybe they can put in a cell with a bunch of tough lifers for those 13 minutes. I think you can get beat up or sodomized in under that time……just a thought.
“Dollar signs”? Don’t you mean pounds?
Oh, shit. Sorry. Your rant sounded *just* like the fucking UK in this day and age. Courts and a legal system that can’t do cunt all about a rich spoilt fucker who’s got a substance problem.
Trust me – there’s a population on this side of the Atlantic that share your pain because we’re going through it as well. Constant media shit about metal killing children with it’s the simple fact that the Powers That Be are incapable of locking up the scum with mental problems.
After the similar scenario with (if I remember correctly) Paris Hilton, this doesn’t surprise me. Quite frankly I have a huge problem figuring out which one of the two is the bigger piece of shit.
Well said Vince.Rich people will always get away since money manipulates society,and probably always will.
Weiland is doing this for publicity.I mean I’m probably not the only one who did the math here.
The guy is rich enough to call a cab when he’s too shitfaced to drive.But how would calling a cab buy him a headline on Blabbermouth?
Nah.He had to take his car and fuck shit up to the point of being taken to jail.And obviously,he was probably laughing his ass off thinking some people actually bought it thinking he’d have to go through the usual proceedings.
He’ll probably do this 35 times every month just for press attention.
I seriously hope the Stone Temple Pilots fly this guy towards some lost island far away from everything else that lives.In other words,give this fag the boot before your band stops existing because this guy you’re babysitting spends more time whoring around in jail than writing songs.
Dear Vince,
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Sincerely,

p.s. I defy you to find a country or historical period in which the rich and powerful didn’t have special privileges. Either get over it or work to become rich and powerful.
*Ding*
It’s a sad day when I can say I respect Scott Stapp more than Scott Weiland at this point.
