The 26-year-old actress gets away with everything. She has a rap sheet longer than many rappers and athletes, but you rarely see her behind bars. Lohan has slugged people, chased them down like dogs in her car, she’s been busted for cocaine and virtually got off scot-free.

Lindsay Lohan (second right) hides her face as she's escorted from the
10th Precinct on Thursday after being charged for assaulting a woman at
Club Avenue in Manhattan.
The video of Lindsay Lohan
crying and yelling “Are you kidding?” to cops as they hauled her away
in handcuffs probably had more viewers than her movie “Liz & Dick”
on Sunday night.
Lohan’s real-life repeat performance at the Avenue lounge on Thursday
was in Lohan’s usual time slot — last call after Lohan punched Tiffany
Mitchell in the face. Mitchell is a psychic who reportedly charges
$2,500 to “cleanse people’s auras.” Oddly, she never saw this coming.
Some witnesses claim that Lohan became jealous when musician Max
George, whom she latched onto after his band The Wanted opened for
Justin Bieber at Madison Square Garden, began talking to Mitchell. The
28-year-old psychic was wearing a fur coat, circa 1980, and George had
his choice of far younger women.
Lohan fled out the back door and into an SUV, a police source told the Daily News, trying to get away yet again.

Lindsay Lohan stars as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's biopic 'Liz & Dick.'
Why not? She gets away with everything. The 26-year-old has a rap
sheet longer than many rappers and athletes, but you rarely see her
behind bars. Lohan has slugged people, chased them down like dogs in
her car, she’s been busted for cocaine and virtually got off scot-free.
In February 2011, police say Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from a
California jewelry store. She was sentenced to 120 days in jail, but got
community service instead. She never performed it, so on the following
Nov. 7, a judge sent her to jail for 30 days. Lohan was out within
hours.
In June, she crashed her Porsche into an 18-wheeler and authorities
said she lied to cops, saying her assistant was driving. She was charged
on that lie in California Thursday — the same day she was arrested in
the New York assault.
Here’s my question: What if a black or Hispanic man committed the same crimes that Lindsay Lohan was accused of?
“If (one of my clients) stole a necklace worth over $1,000, the judge
might reduce the felony to petit larceny, a misdemeanor, if he had no
prior record,” top defense lawyer William Rita said. “At best, they
would get three years probation. But if that probation was violated,
they would be incarcerated.”
It remains to be seen whether there’s a judge on either coast who will
treat Lindsay Lohan like anybody else who breaks the law.
