The fact that 75% of Americans are glad Paris Hilton is back in jail and serving out her paltry 45 day sentence is no surprise. However reading the blogs and comments attached to her news story is a eye-awakening glimpse into the dark heart of the merciless public. Don't misunderstand me, I was laughing with glee as I searched for one more photo of her crying in the police car. Why? Why did i get so much satisfaction, out of seeing her pay for her crimes. Was it because of her misdeeds, or the fact that this little rich bitch is finally doing something on her own...no I like the fact that she thought she was above the law...and she could get out of her sentence, with a doctor's note. The last time the public turned its back and rejected a beautiful, rich socialite was in 1793. According to the "wiki"...
...On Friday she trembled and cried quietly throughout the hearing, then brokeinto loud sobs when the judge ordered her back into custody. "Mom, Mom. It's not right," she wailed as she was led out of the courtroom. Her mother, Kathy Hilton, also sobbed.
On the morning of October 16, 1793, a guard arrived to cut her hair and bind her hands behind her back. She was forced into a tumbril and paraded through the streets of Paris for over an hour before reaching the Place de la Révolution where the guillotine stood. She stepped down from the cart and stared up at the guillotine. The priest who had accompanied her whispered, "This is the moment, Madame, to arm yourself with courage." Marie Antoinette turned to look at him and smiled, "Courage? The moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me." Legend states that her last words were, "Pardonnez-moi, monsieur," (Pardon me, monsieur) spoken after she had accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot.[6]
At 12:15, Marie Antoinette was executed. Her head was exhibited to a cheering crowd. The bodies of Marie, Louis XVI and Madame Elisabeth (Louis' sister) were buried in a mass grave near the location of today's La Madeleine church and covered in quicklime. Following the restoration of the Bourbons, a search was conducted for the bodies. On January 21, 1815, more than twenty years after her death, her corpse was exhumed—a lady's garter helped with identification—and Marie Antoinette was buried at the side of her spouse in the crypt of St. Denis Basilica just outside of Paris, the traditional final resting place of French monarchs.
