In other entertainment news it seems that the son of Michael Douglas, Cameron Douglas, was arrested last week on drug charges. Cameron Douglas, who has done some acting, faces mandatory 10 years to life for selling crystal meth.
I can understand that the Douglas family is likely very troubled by this turn of events. At the same time there is something I want to note.
There is nothing good about selling drugs. Nor should any celebrity or family member of a celebrity be allowed to trade that fame for reduced sentences. It’s an abuse that the legal system needs to end.
How many times have we heard about this celebrity or that getting away with possession of drug, guns, and various other infractions of the law? How many times has the fame of a celebrity extended to their family – especially the children of well known celebs?
I don’t limit this to just Cameron Douglas. I mean all the celebs out there. Paris Hilton, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Amy Winehouse, Lindsey Lohan, and on and on. They all need to go to jail. They did the crimes and need to do the time. Because if it was you or me, rest assured that we would have been locked up and the key thrown away a long time ago.
I don’t feel bad for Cameron Douglas. He made his choice. But I will be insanely upset if he is guilty and somehow doesn’t receive the mandatory 10 years his crime is required to receive by law.
