I was reading the news on the Internet today and it appears that rapper Yung Joc decided NOT to make a court appearance on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon, thus making him a fugitive of the law.
Why do these people try to evade the law? Why can't they own up to what they do and take their punishment? It's stupid!

They are stupid.
They can afford limos and taxis, but they get arrested for drunk driving.
They can afford lawyers, but they behave in such a manner as to assure the worst presentation before a judge.
In fairness though, although you may hear about every dumb thing a celebrity does, ordinary people do even dumber things without it appearing on the news.

Money and fame make people think they are above the law.

Because they are celebrities and not showing up would make them more famous :-)

because they know that people all over the world will know what they did and they are probably embarrassed about it.
