Pete Doherty Strikes Again and Again

It`s a well known fact that many people working in the entertainment industry are not as stable as us normal folk. But you would think that after splashing someone with your own blood, getting arrested a plethora of times and getting kicked out of basically every establishment you enter would stop you from continuing your bad behavior. This doesn`t seem to be the case for Pete Doherty, singer and songwriter of Babyshambles. No, Pete seems to live to the beat of his own drum.

Why is the flagrant disregard of legal behavior commonplace among the big shots in the entertainment industry? Because no one really punishes these actions. Sure, Pete Doherty has been arrested, but why is a repeat violator not sitting in prison? Because he`s famous, of course. His latest mockery of the legal system occurred on a flight with EasyJet airlines. Pete and his band were on their way to Madrid to perform at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.

While in the air a crew member recovered a needle that was hidden in a bin and covered with blood. And of course, who are you going to blame? Probably the person who had spent a lengthy time in the toilet and was rater agitated as well. Once the plane landed police stopped the entertainment star, and while he was not arrested, both he and his band are prohibited from flying on any future EasyJet flights.
