Aug 22 2007Pete Doherty ducks cocaine charges
Is coke still illegal? Pete Doherty also escaped drug charges yesterday, Reuters reports:
‘The case has been dropped on a legal technicality: no conviction has been recorded,’ prosecutor Anjulika Vatish told reporters outside West London Magistrates' Court. ‘Mr Doherty was arrested on 20 August at 2:35 a.m. and so the court has no jurisdiction to deal with this matter any more,’ Vatish had earlier told the court.
Let me explain the legal conundrum here that will totally blow your mind: You can’t arrest Pete Doherty for cocaine because Pete Doherty is cocaine. He is a walking, talking pile of blow with a ridiculous hat and a record deal. Which makes sense because musicians love coke. Where did I read that? Oh yeah, the Bible.

Gross SOB. I wish these people would go to jail. I really do. Or executed. Whichever.

He is a no-good, lousy, crackhead. The only thing he is famous for is that one band and screwing Kate Moss. What a waste of space

Like Kate Moss, his drug charges can be turned sideways so they disappear.

this guy skates on charges like Brian Boitano.

He looks like death warmed over.
9. p0nk - August 22, 2007 3:42 PM
mere mortals would have been dead long ago. Pete Doherty, whatever planet he is from, possesses ninja-like skills allowing him to skirt death and the law, and still land the hot chicks.

Edward Scissorhands is that you?
12. Flavio - August 22, 2007 3:47 PM
he was released because the cops didn't get him in front of a judge within the stipulated amount of time as per his probation agreement. don't despair, he'll be arrested again soon.
13. adeliza - August 22, 2007 3:47 PM
He looks like he'e make a good Fagan for Dickens' "Oliver Twist".

This guy reminds me of chicken bones wrapped in tin foil.

Must be a really really slow news day.
16. lambman - August 22, 2007 4:10 PM
he's not dating Kate Moss anymore. So we don't ever need to hear his name again, he's not famous in his own right, only by association.
You might as well just print the DUI conviction list from the Dultuth news paper

#13 - He looks more like The Artful Dodger from the movie Oliver.

This guy could do the world a favor and use the working end of a 12 gauge as a tooth pick...

@ 8
Death warmed over? Compare his colour to the cop next to him. Looks like they pulled a "Weekend at Bernie's"-style maneuver, dragged him out of the morgue and tied him to the two cops on either side. That's why they are standing so close to him - and also the reason why the cop on his left has his eyes shut. Can you imagine the stench?
22. michelle - August 22, 2007 6:03 PM
I hope he just DIES. He looks like a fucking ghoul... seriously, I would not be surprised to learn that his veins pump blood laced with cocaine.
23. Violet Sin - August 22, 2007 6:04 PM
"walking, talking pile of blow"...
Maybe it's the beer, but that made me snicker.

Girl,
you got me there!
Either way,, Arr Arr Arroooooo!
25. Kat - August 22, 2007 6:53 PM
He looks like the type of guy who would have sex with you and then puke on you afterwards. Always wasted, skin looks like upchuck and he looks like he smells like every bad scent combined.
26. maxsolomon - August 22, 2007 7:14 PM
FYI haters: the libertines were really good. even babyshambles is pretty good. pete dougherty is a fucking good songwriter. as good as the american junkie songwriter version or pete dougherty, ryan adams.
he's going to a) clean it up soon b) die. it would be best for rock n roll if it were option a.
27. Michellio - August 22, 2007 7:28 PM
#23, oh that made me laugh too, haha
I wouldnt be snorting him up my nose!!! Oh and why isnt he dead yet? Rock stars like Morrison, Joplin, Hendrix. they died from that type of shit, but they were talented, and had a purpose in this world... This guy? wtf. just die, or get shot already, usless loser.
28. Lily - August 22, 2007 7:51 PM
Pete Doherty is a tool. His bands are a waste of space, particularly Babyshambles. He can't even sing properly when he's wasted. He grosses me out, I bet he's covered in a thick layer of skin oil and that's why he keeps slipping away from the cops.
Post him again when he's dead/jailed and NOT BEFORE. Til then I don't give a shit what he does.
29. star69 - August 22, 2007 8:06 PM
YAYY PETE DOHERTY!! My favorite!! I love news about this guy.
Just can't get enough really.
My favorite was when he went on a tv interview and squirted a syringe filled with his own blood on the camera (and the face of the man behind it). PRICELESS!
There's no one like him out there. The looniest one of them all.
Oh and there was that other time when he injected a passed out girl at a party with a syringe. What a generous guy. Free heroin for everyone. Whooo!! Just look passed out.
30. star69 - August 22, 2007 8:09 PM
Btw. I miss the Libertines. They were really good. Too bad Babyshambles isn't.
31. ; - August 22, 2007 8:12 PM
too bad pete doherty sweats like a nignog in the sahara all day everyday, must be a drag
32. Courtney - August 22, 2007 8:13 PM
you americans probably only see the side of pete that they show in tabloids. if you watched any of his interviews or read any of his lyrics you would know the guy is a creative genius. the only reason he still does drugs is because he has this philosophy of complete personal freedom and a total disregard for rules. he's a libertine.
33. Courtney - August 22, 2007 8:15 PM
oh and star69, the blood was fake, and the girl wasn't actually passed out; she posed.
34. noelgallagher - August 22, 2007 8:20 PM
If you've lost your faith in love and music, the end won't be long.
for if it's gone then i may surely lose it, and that would be wrong.
i've tried so hard to keep myself from falling, back into my bad old ways.
but it chars my heart to always hear you calling, calling for the good old days.
cause there were no good old days.
-Good Old Days, The Libertines
LONG LIVE THE LIBS!!!!

Apparently one has to run over a Nun while driving a Truck full of Cocaine and simultaneously snorting the blow directly off the ass of a 15 year old hooker named Chloe while talking about your dog fighting business from your cell phone in order to get charged....
WTF... Is Cocaine illegal anymore?
Courtney - Sorry if we Yankees disappoint you by our prudish belief that being a drug addict and getting arrested monthly is not cool.... How about Pete shooting blood on a camera man? Was that supposedly fake too? Funny how the interview was immediately terminated. Get some morals...
36. SLUGGO - August 22, 2007 11:15 PM
OMG DUDE, JUST OD ALREADY AND GET IT OVER WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
37. Italian Stallion - August 23, 2007 3:32 AM
I've never even heard one of this douchebags songs. Waste of space, I agree. Kate Moss saw something in him though, so he's probably only fun to hang out with when on coke..................
38. Lindsay - August 23, 2007 6:54 AM
MAN he looks like CRAP!!!
39. Nancy - August 23, 2007 8:25 AM
That man needs some help, where's Intervention? Doesn't he have any real friends? Seriously, he is going to die.

More Euro trash for sure...
Why do these people get their nickers in a bunch when Euro trash losers like this flop in every way conceivable?
How in the hell can you defend this bloke?
This guy could serve the world much better by putting some heavy rocks in his pockets and jumping in the channel.
Fucking bloke ass Euro trash fucker...
41. josht - August 23, 2007 8:48 AM
What the fuck? You people are whining about a rock star doing drugs and banging models? He's a fucking rock star. That's like getting pissed off that fish enjoy water or lawyers have no souls.

Fish, I'm a little late to the party here but, THAT IS SOME OF THE FUNNIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER READ! Mad props brother.

But we all know how HOWT and AWSOME Johnny Depp IS and well then there is Pete Pukeface Doherty. again I say it.. poor Kate Moss, poor, poor, poor Kate Moss...
oh yeah who was the guy who got her preggers???
46. Courtney K. - August 23, 2007 3:45 PM
El-Coyote - i never said that i support pete doing drugs. i wish he would stop before he goes too far; but you ignorant americans should do some background research on the man before you say such horrible things about him. the tabloids only show the negative side of things.
just because you havn't heard of or don't like his music doesn't mean others havn't or don't. but that's besides the point because what the hell do americans know about music anyways?
47. Jeff Dahmer disciple - August 23, 2007 8:55 PM
LOL@32
I'm a libertine as well. Except I seek to kill people and eat them in my freedom expressing, non-conformist ways. If Pete can do as he pleases, why can't I?
48. STeve - August 23, 2007 9:21 PM
he is the definition of "wanker"
49. paula - August 28, 2007 2:21 PM
Fergawdsake. Leave the guy alone. He has enough problems with drug addictions. Paps and idiots follow him every freaking minute of every freaking DAY. No one will leave the guy alone, much less give him a break.
That would make me crazy enough to smack paps and snort batter acid.
