“The Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal, who has publicly battled drug addiction, has been released without bail after her arrest in downtown Manhattan for cocaine possession.”
Released without bail… Isn’t that just super for Ms. O’Neal? In my entire traversal through “the system” here in Pennsylvania, I have yet to meet a regular Joe who has been released after an arrest for cocaine possession, let alone released-without-bail!
My favorite part though? “She rejected a deal that would have sentenced her to a two-day drug treatment program in exchange for a guilty plea for disorderly conduct…” This is a joke right?
The average person could never even comprehend dreaming of a deal this sweet being offered them—and Ms. I’m-still-one-of-the-beautiful-people turns her nose up at it. At a measly two-day treatment program—and a “disorderly conduct” charge instead of drug possession! Un-be-fucking-lievable.
This is an insult to every single one of the hundreds of thousands of addicts rotting in County and Parrish prisons all across the U.S.
