Bench warrant issued for Shia LaBeouf

Any thoughts? comments?

Just seemed odd to me. He didnt show up for court? Just....wow. I didnt expect that from him.

He's a movie star, don't expect much out of them. Sad thing is that I think a lot of his fame has gone to his head, and is clouding his judgement. He's a good kid, but he's making bad decisions that should make an audience think twice about what kind of person he is.

[kanagosa]

Guess I was just expecting better from him.

feh. it's just a bench warrant. for smoking? really? huh. i didn't know you had to go to court for that. i think here you just get a ticket or some crap. any rate, a bench warrant isn't all that bad, just kinda stupid on his part. mostly cuz it's prolly just gonna piss off the judge.

[kanagosa]

Yeah thats my thoughts kinda. I was confused and baffled.

Yeah, I bet the Judges are pissy at Stars, ::cough cough:: you know certain ones that call meetings ::cough:: Britney ::cough:: and other who don't show up... I don't think I have to list who. :p The Judge threw the book to make a point its not joke to skip court.

well, honestly... if i had a court date for a smoking charge? and i had something maybe not important, but pressing that needed to be done at the same time? yeah, i might blow it off too. and i'm willing to bet i wouldn't get in all that much trouble for it as long as i was polite and apologetic.

thing of it is, he's a celebrity. the courts sometimes feel the need to "make an example" of someone. i suppose you can't really expect to be treated the same as you would if there weren't thousands of people watching the case.

But his LAWYER didn't show up? Man, that dude needs to be fired, Shia could have been misinformed by his Lawyer to begin with. I don't think fame went to Shia's head but he's been busy with Indy and other productions plus life. If a lawyer told him he didn't have to show, that said lawyer would take care of it I bet he'd believe it... hence trouble now. Shia has too much common sense to think, oh I'm a star I don't have to show up right off the bat.

[kanagosa]

True. Yeah that made me go WTF!

[shatteredvirus]

Well, my thought is this. No one here personally knows him (or maybe someone does, but for the most part, no) and therefore we really don't know what kind of person he is.
Shouldn't expect things from people you don't know on a personal level... just my thought.

[kanagosa]

Very true.

No big deal to me, my now hubby had a warrant out and didn't know about it till he got pulled over. Luckily he had the paper work in the car (he got a ticket when he stalled in an intesection with a redlight camera, he got deployed before he recieved the ticket so he had to prove he was gone and did not get the ticket, when he came back he had letters saying he lost his license and stuff)It probably slipped his mind not like he had a DUI or something just smoking in the wrong place, Cali is so weird.
