Speaking of Lindsay Lohan, her punishment today by Judge Elden Fox is coming under criticism by cyclists. Plainly put, a drunk hit-and-run driver who disabled a bicyclist was sentenced by Fox in July to 90 days of community service. On the other hand, Lohan is getting harsher punishment for harming herself. Legally speaking, the cases are very different -- Lohan violated probation -- but it's just another sign that priorities should maybe be reexamined. In July, cyclists staged a "bloody" protest outside the Beverly Hills courthouse in reaction to the light sentencing [corrections made per comments #2 and #11].
