Is it just me or is Pete Doherty getting far too much leeway? |

Todays News:
Doherty owns up to drug relapse
Singer Pete Doherty has admitted he has suffered a drug relapse and has pledged to seek further help in his attempts to tackle his heroin addiction.
"Peter sadly relapsed last week and is now looking to check himself back into a rehab clinic," said a spokesman for his record company, EMI.
"He realises that he has not only let himself down but has let down those who trusted and encouraged his efforts."
The statement follows newspaper photos of Doherty apparently injecting heroin.
The mobile phone images, published in The Sun, were said to have been taken on Friday.
"Peter would like to apologise to the medical staff, fans and well-wishers who have helped and encouraged his progress," the statement reads.
Peter is filled with remorse for what he describes today as 'a stupid, stupid action'
EMI statement
"His ongoing rehabilitation was a source of such pride to him that Peter and those closest to him thought that he was close to winning his personal battle with the drug.
"He is filled with remorse for what he describes today as 'a stupid, stupid action for which I feel only shame'."
Last month the 28-year-old - due to start a UK arena tour with his Babyshambles band on 22 November - was handed a suspended prison term for drugs and motoring offences.
Doherty's relapse followed his appearance last week at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich, where organisers praised his punctuality and professionalism.
In an interview with NME magazine published this week, he admitted he had found staying off drugs "hard work".
Story from BBC NEWS:
I can appreciate that getting off of drugs may be difficult, but would a member of the general public be shown so much lenience with suspended sentences? I may be wrong but for me, he is making a farce of our legal system.

He gets away with murder. He'll be dead soon the way he's carrying on but the most unfortunate thing is he won't be remembered for his music.

It really is amazing that he gets away with all this stuff!
Even some of the most high court judges have said if he were to be brought before them they wouldnt hesitate to send him down and I completely agree with them.
If it was any normal joe out there, they would be in prison by now!

If he doesn't get locked up soon, he will be dead as goldenface says. Yes, you can get drugs in prison but not in anywhere near the quantities or strength that you can on the outside.
Prison might be his only hope.

Those people aren't role models though, nor are they personally in the news day in day out blatantly taking the p*ss!
No wonder so many people find it cool and ok to do drugs with the example set by Pete Doherty and the way he keeps getting let off with no more than a slapped wrist and a suspended sentence!
