How so? He broke a strict law in NYC and now he is being punished....gun control is a big deal in NYC. I also don't believe that they are making an example of him at all. If you listened to Mike and Mike this morning they had a legal analyst on that used to write for SI and he stated that Joe off the street would have gotten the same sentence. Why should anyone feel sorry for him? I get that Dante killed someone and got a lesser sentence so everyone is pissed. Plax chose to carry an illegal firearm and intentionally broke a very strict law (ignorance to the law is not an excuse). Dante killed someone, but there was no intention or choice to kill him/her. Yes he chose to drink and drive, but not kill someone.
Well according to the very small amount of law I understand in the country, isn't Stallworth making a similar decision when he chooses to get behind the wheel drunk. Just like Plaxico chose to carry a weapon, Donte turned his car into a weapon he got drunk and entered it. Yes, he did not intend to harm anyone (Just like Plax), but fact is he committed vehicular manslaughter (correct me if I'm wrong).
It seems like there are only two major differences:
[Remember I'm comparing relative to each other]
1) Stallworths main victim was another person (death), while Plaxico's was just himself. Both of them put the general population around them in danger, but did not directly harm anyone else
2) The strict NY gun laws. I understand states have the right to made their own laws, but we obviously don't have our justice system in order at all if one of these guys gets a month and the other gets two years. Especially when the guy that gets two years was his own main victim.
W/E it doesnt matter. I wouldnt care it all if a guy hadnt just gotten off for murder. Guess i gosta leave the glocs at home when I be clubbin.
