She'll be fine. She "needs" to be caught and arrested. It's worse if she just goes on and nothing happens that can function as intervention. She makes a mockery of rehab. Somebody strong in her life, will need to ensure that she gets the kind of sincere help that she requires. Her primary issues may not really be her addictions but the quality of the people that are supposed to love her the most.
I really don't think jail would help break her self-destruction. At this point though, it probably won't hurt either.

'Getting the impression that's about the size of it.
These blowups happen too often. I think that she's setting herself up to get caught. Maybe a self-worth problem... 'can't take fame without punishing herself for it.

Lohan, whose film "I Know Who Killed Me" will be released Friday, was charged with two counts of driving under the influence, possession of cocaine, bringing a controlled substance into a jail facility, and driving on a suspended license, according to Lindsey.
How do you get 2 DUIs at the same time? Get back in and drive again?
Stupid about the coke. Any real junkie knows that you got to give up the stash before they walk you in to the jail. Much better to have simple posession than it is to have the "bringing a controlled substance into a jail" charge.

She's been playing the system since a kid.
Smart enough to tell whomever exactly what they want to hear and then go off and do what her substance influenced mind wants.
If she weren't a celebrity, and living in Harlem, no one would be incensed, or give a damn.

While I agree with your entire post otherwise, the second statement I quoted may belie the first.
I also agree with billb, though I don't really *know* that she's been playing system, I'd guess that she's been playing Mom and Dad (I don't know her parent structure) from early on. Here's hoping that getting arrested *this* time helps her straighten out.
There are a lot of celebs that have had alcohol/drug problems and have recovered. Stevie Ray Vaughn comes to mind. But there are a few who died young, and it's always tragic when it's so unnecessary. (And no, I can't think of a time when it's *necessary*.)
That pic isn't even close to being "Noltesque". On her worst day, she probably looks better than Nolte did in his last mug shot.
As to giving up her stash, most anybody knows that most junkies aren't born streetwise. They learn, and often it's from going to jail. So maybe she's not a "real" junkie.
Even tossing in a car or on the street doesn't always help one escape a "possession" charge.
In CA, there's no real difference between giving up the dope at the time and place of arrest, and it being found during an intake search. That's not construed as smuggling, but maybe as being stupid.
And there are plenty of white folk who fall through the cracks into the depths of "We don't care." You don't have to be in Harelem to rate the kind of indifference people like us give certain events.
I'm not a fan of the girl except that she shows a lot of Ta, which I wish a lot more females would do. But I hope she pulls out of the tailspin before she crashes and burns.
I'm sure there were those who said Jimi, Janis, and Jim would be fine.

RAMd®d, Well, you're right of course. But understand that I'm wired to think positively and voice my thoughts likewise. Don't want my "negative" out there in the universe.
It's sad because she actually has gifts. She's talented.

Are those her real "gifts" or did she get them done

Understood.
You're right of course, and I like to *thinK* I'm similarly wired, but occasionally I need a jump start.
I'd like to be less jaded than I am, and sometimes I'm a little lazy working on that.
