Over the last week or so, I have seen seeing Justin Bieber on the news headlines about his recent DUI and street racing arrest. Bieber was pulled over driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, as well as prescription medicine, all awhile being underage at that with a suspended license. Sure, just as every other American resident would get, he was arrested. But here is what gets to me. He has had a rough recent-past when it comes to the law, including multiple car incidents as well as run-ins with his neighbor, all resulting in police being called, but nothing being done to him. Now that one police officer has officially had him in custody, the judge sets him free on a small bail of only $2,500. As some would say, "it's not like he killed someone". Well, no he didn't, but he sure could have.
I am waiting to see results of his official court hearing to see if the judge sticks it to him, or if he will ease up on him because he is able to hire a big-time lawyer. If the judge decides to give him any type of break because he is rich and famous, what will he learn? He needs to to given some type of punishment to let him see that his money may be able to buy a lot, but not his way out of trouble, otherwise the next time he pulls a stunt like this, he could cause harm to innocent bystanders.
