There are other aspects… two years house arrest, eight years probation, lifetime suspension of driver’s license (although he can apply to have that lifted in five years), and drug and alcohol counseling.
But we talked about this before… Mike Vick killed dogs and has this public outcry to prevent him from returning to the NFL, after he’s served his 3 years (actually, it was more like 2-1/2… wasn’t it)? Obviously I’m not advocating dogfighting, and the associated torture and killing of dogs. But as I’ve said all along, as bad as it is to kill dogs, it’s worse to kill a human being. It just is.
And for killing a human being, Donte Stallworth will spend 30 *days* in jail. So… how long should I wait for the same public furor to face Stallworth as we’ve seen face Vick?
Just curious.
