Should Pete Doherty be thrown in jail for his constant breaking of the law?

Yes, he shouldnt be treated any differently than anybody else. if he commits a crime he should be punished to the full extent of the law

aye - he should be sent down and/or put in rehab like any other crim. Being good at something popular is not a good excuse for getting let off and, in some circumstances, should mean you get stung even harder than a member of the general population.

I agree with Xena, he should be locked up the same as any other person constantly breaking the law. He has been given so many chances and not tried to take one of them. What kind of example is he to kids...break the law, get famous and we'll leave you to get on with it.

yes, sick of him getting away with it all. What worrys me is, that Kids may just start taking drugs and thinking "well if Pete Doherty can do it and get away with it, so can we."
How many times as he been up and got away with it.The Judges are just as much to blame as well.

Setting a great example aint he? Yes , it's time they made a right example of him. If I had a say in it I'd send him on one of them there Brat camps..."go forth into the Mojave Desert young man and get a life!"

Now THAT'S a reality TV show that I would watch.

They ought to get Paris Hilton, Pete Docherty, Jade Goody, Chantelle, Lindsay Lohan et al and send them on Brat Camp.

The twist could be that they think they are only there for a few days but the "Reality" part of the Reality show is that they stay there until the instructors think they are disciplined enough to go back into society....and that could be (hopefully) 6 months or more!

What a great idea. You heard it here first!

His way of staying out of trouble by not getting caught seems like common sence to me. Remember this, laws change over time. He wouldn't be guilty of possesing Heroine before the Sixties because it wasn't made illegal until then, so by the rationale of the public, before then it was ok to take Heroine.

If anyone breaks the law then they should be punished. Pete and Boy George both get away with breking the law repeatedly becuase of who they are, however this country's laws and punishments are so lack its getting really bad, now the prison service release you early and pay you for the inconveiniance, its rediculous some one will bound to say one day lets not go for the prison incarciration and just pay me for the inconveiniance then you have a free cell for someone else.

Bang him up! He should be taught a lesson before he kills someone, and ruins the lives of other people.

In my opinion forget Pete Doherty being a celeb. Refer to him as a human being.

He needs therapy and counselling for a drug addiction even if he keeps running from it.

He needs help, simple as that.

He has to learn through therapy not to play up to the press, anything he says to the media is basically attention seeking behaviour and cannot be taken seriously.

What people say when they are all messed up usually bears no resemblance to their own reality.

The press should not play his behaviour up, not censorship, but a responsible attitude to people in genuine distress and chaos. Not whitewashing an individual with tittle-tattle and the gossip of fish wives to sell papers.

Putting people into prison for drug and mental problems is not dealing with the issues involved. A large proportion of people in prison today are there because no one wants to help them and are basically abandoned to the drug lords. They need not be there. With prison overcrowding this is becoming more and more relevant.

His mother might need some form of counselling, she wrote a book about him and is making money right in the middle of his personal chaos. That says a lot.

Pete Doherty is a victim of the whole celeb culture that pushes people up only to bury them.

They should leave him alone and let himself get sorted away from the media limelight even if he seeks it. :-)

he'll still get drugs in jail so that's no good. put him in a secure rehab unit and let him out once he's been completly clean for 18 months, not including withdrawal time. so let's say 2 years total. also give him an implant thay makes him really ill if he uses drugs. mind you, using drugs IS making him ill so....

It is no one else's business what an individual chooses to into his/her body.

Spectre's point is correct - should Sherlock Holmes books be banned because he smoked opium?

The legal system in every country should concentrate on preventing people putting things into others -EG rape, knifes and bullets.

Yes. No question.
The law is the law and celebrities should not be exempt from it.
Comparing this to banning Sherlock Holmes books is nonsense. The books are works of fiction.
