Kid Rock's sentence- agree?
Permalink  

I do! Not all judges are lame!

KID ROCK has been denied the opportunity to complete his court-ordered community service by performing for U.S. troops stationed in Iraq.
The All Summer Long hitmaker, real name Robert Ritchie, was sentenced to 80 hours community service following a brawl at a Waffle House restaurant in Georgia last year (07), and he has asked if he can do his time by visiting troops stationed abroad this holiday season.
But Dekalb County judge Alvin T. Wong has decided the free concerts and meet and greets aren't enough.
He says, "Giving him credit for something he would otherwise love to do in front of a camera completely defeats the punitive purpose of performing community service."
And the decision has infuriated Rock, who addressed the matter in a recent blog message.
The angry rocker writes, "Apparently he thinks it's more important that I do something else rather than sing, shake hands, take pictures and spend time with the men and women who put themselves in harm's way to protect the very freedoms he and all of us live by. I really take it as a slap in the face."
Rock, who has become a regular visitor to U.S. troops stationed abroad during the holidays, was fined $1,000 (GBP666) and sentenced to probation after pleading no contest in a battery lawsuit, following the Waffle House fight.
The rock star and five members of his entourage were arrested and charged with misdemeanour battery after the October (07) brawl in Duluth, Georgia.

He probably should do something other than his normal activities... this is kind of the point. Not that entertaining the troops should be discouraged, but if he is already doing that...

I agree. The point is punishment, not something you already do.
