I feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. Why? Because I feel bad for anyone who has fallen under the long arm of the law. The law is too onerous in this society. As far as I can tell, this was a private matter between two people. The criminal law doesn't need to be involved. I presume the woman Lindsay struck, if she did in fact strike her, can and probably will sue for civil damages. That should be enough. We shouldn't be criminally prosecuting minor offenses. In fact, we should be wholesale repealing huge chunks of our criminal law. The drug laws, for example.

In any event, I feel bad for her. Do you Newsvine?
