Is this another example of celebrity justice in action? Lil Wayne, who is due to go to jail on gun charges, was excused from sentencing today in New york City. The reason, he need surgery - on his teeth.
To be very clear, Lil Wayne could not be sentenced because he was supposed to get an unknown surgery on his teeth done. It was supposed to be done before today, but his dentist is out of the country doing charitible work. So his trip to prison has to be delayed.
Ok, this is a major medical emergency right? I mean it's not like NYC doesn't have hundreds of other qualified dentists he could see. And the surgery is so important that he can wait for his dentist to get back in country. Plus it's not like the prison system doesn't have dentists that could perform the surgery, like they do for any other inmate.
Yes this is exactly the way you or I would be treated. A case that has been going on since 2007. Pushing back a jail sentence, that was created by breaking the law by Lil Wayne's own admission, because of an unnamed malady so severe it is not being treated.
But it is surely the reason why his lawyer referred to him as "a strong man", because only a strong man would endure such horrible pain to avoid going to jail. Of course it may also be why he is not referred to as a smart man. A smart man wouldn't have broken the law, again, and would have just got another dentist to take care of the problem.
I hate celebrity justice. They just need to throw him in jail like they would for everyone else. Maybe some time with the jail dentist would be a motivation for him to stop breaking the law. Nothing else seems to.

Well know we know what the important surgery was. Lil Wayne needs to get the diamonds out of his mouth, before he goes to jail and an inmate knocks his teeth out for them.
I suppose that the major thug/rapper/bad ass that Lil Wayne pretends to be is not nearly tough enough to keep the diamonds and his teeth. Of course few could be in the same situation.
Odd though that since 2007, only now as he is going to jail is this a surgery he is contemplating. I suppose he was too busy being on television and stage to consider the consequences. Which is why he broke the law and got the jail sentence in the first place.
