Enjoy It While You Can

Filed under: Legal Matters

snipesw.jpg

Wesley Snipes is a lucky guy…for now.

The courts ruled on Wednesday that if he was not granted bail to appeal his tax convictions, then he'd have to check into the big house by June 3rd.

According to new reports, though, Snipes was granted bail today (Thursday) until his appeal goes through.

The judge who issued the order reportedly indicated that the appeal process could "equal — or nearly equal — the length of the term of the commitment imposed."

Regardless, we're sure Snipes will do some time behind bars. He better!

Don't mess with the tax man, y'all!

    When there's lightning you know it always bring me down
    ’cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost and never found
    I cry out for magic I feel it dancing in the light
    It was cruel lost my hold to the shadows of the night
    No sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own

    LIKE A RAINBOW INTHE DARK!!!

    why are you so eager for him to do prison time? he hasn't harmed anyone physically. a fine would be just as punitive.

    Perez, you aren't a very nice guy sometimes.

    There is NO LAW on the books in the USA that says you have to pay INCOME TAXES….no law written anywhere. Wake up people!!! Ask to see the law and the courts cannot produce it!!

    Perez, Nicole Richie didn't even serve a full day in jail, and she could have easily KILLED someone driving drunk the wrong way on the freeway, and Wesley's going to serve 3 F'ing years? This is so blatantly racist, I can't believe you're not even going to point out the fact that all these rich, white celebrities have been given tremendously easy sentences which most of them don't even serve, and they are putting lives at risk every time they get on the road drunk. You suck, Perez, you really need to grow some social consciousness. If it's not about Cuba, you just don't give a shit. And guess what? YOU'RE FAT TOO, so why are you always ragging on fatties? I think you really just hate yourself and being cruel to others who are overweight gives you some kind of sick pleasure.

    Just wait for Al "HATES HONKEYS" Sharpton to call his brothas and sistas and march on Wesley's behalf. Surely the IRS must is not color blind!!!

    "Regardless, we're sure Snipes will do some time behind bars. He better!"
    Fucking bitch, what is your problem? Go to jail because he didn't want to pay his fucking taxes? The average tax in the U.S. is 40%, you think this is fair? You need all that money to fund your war machine and putting people in jail. Bitch, as if he took that money from you.

    Ofcourse the government made an example out of Wesley Snipes, god forbid, they threw a white male behind bars for tax evation! So lame. Would have been cool to have Brad Pitt a Prison Bitch, he should be behind bars after what he did to sexy Jennifer!! Gawd!! I'm sorry but Angelina's lips are too much. They're only good for one thing…and thats prolly how she landed Brad Pitt in the first place the little Head Cleaner!

    The Income Tax is unconstitutional. Also, there is no law that says you have to pay Income Tax. Snipes should not have to go to jail for breaking a law that doesn't exist. Educate yourselves: Tax-Freedom.com

    To sum it up for you morons….Willie Nelson got off with a slap on the wrist for the same exact thing….please, please tell me how Snipes doing time is fair?

    Paying what ever he owes is one thing, which I'm sure he'll do….but come on, prison…what a damn shame!

    I seriously don't remember the last time anyone gave a shit about Wesley Snipes. And your rooting for him to get jail time is very professional. I guess you do want him in so you can imagine some mud shark action you little fruit!

    Send him over to the mansion before his unfortunate incarceration and we'll make sure Kendra is on hand to take care of him and give him a little something to think about while he's in the slammer.

    He'll probably get house arrest because the prison's are too full. Waaaa! I'm a celebtard and I need special care- no you're a cheating thief, bend over bitch, here's prison. I hope.

  52. Lola says – reply to this

    If I and everyone I know HAS to pay taxes, then whiney ass celebtards do too. Fuck the little man always having to pay taxes. I don't give a flying fuck if he's black, yellow, or plaid. Don't play the color card eveytime your punk asses get BUSTED. He broke the law- rot in prison bitch.

    I don't know about the US, but Income Tax in Canada was supposed to end after WW 2. There is no law I am aware of about paying or filing taxes on either side of the border. I think putting Wesley Snipes in jail is a criminal act.

  54. AAR says – reply to this

    We don't need another black man in jail. The prison system is full of them. He should pay what he owes and a fine. Why are you so quick to want to see another black man in prison?

    Snipes is a POS!!!! His son goes to my school and won't claim his father because he doesn't help his son out in ANY way! The poor kid crashed old altima and BIKES around campus! Seriously! He even sells cutlery to get by! I can't imagine having a father who was once worth millions, yet unwilling to buy me a decent car!!!
