I was all vick being punished (fines and jail time) because what he did was by no means right but executed....

He needs to stop tying his bow tie so tight.

I'll never understand these right wing nutjobs. Vick killed dogs. Stallworth killed a human. Stallworth got less of a punishment and is also playing in the NFL. Where's the outcry?

People are just so desensitized to hearing about other people dying, especially at the hands of another. You cant go to any media source without hearing or seeing it. People have a soft heart for animals, especially dogs. Not that its right, but true.

Completely different situations and I hope you realized how ridiculous of a comparison that is.

Please elaborate. I understand Stallworth was involuntary mansalughter (or whatever it officially was) but killing someone is killing someone, regardless of intent. It was avoidable. He should have thought about his actions before he got behind the wheel of a car intoxicated. It's hard to draw lines I agree, but sooner or later you have to take responsibilities for you actions. I for one, used to drink and drive, and still do sparingly. It's the risk you take and you have to live with your decisions.

I don't understand people out there who value lives of abundant animals over innocent people. Just because we happen to keep certain animals as pets we have skewed perceptions. The whoel issue is not black and white. I'm not dismissing what Vick did. What he did was sick and degenerate. Especially the way in which he went about doing it. But people need to get over this thing, theres a lot more important things in life than a few puppies.

Tucker Carslon should be executed because he's apparently too stupid to live.

This + 1000. All of Fox News should be executed.

Dante Stallworth drove a car in the morning after a night of drinking and hit a guy who was llegally crossing the street. The reason he didn't get **** by the law worse than he was, was due to the guy being partially at fault and for the DUI he got not being the reason the guy was killed. He got screwed because it was something that could have happened to anyone, drunk or not.

Mike Vick fought, electrocuted and strangled dogs for money.

I'm not one of those pro animal people who feels killing animals is worse than killing people. I just think what Vick did was completely sadistic and only a terrible person would have done something like that. Anyone could have done what Stallworth did, drunk or not. One was an accident, one was a terrible form of cruelty.

When your drunk the term accident gets thrown out in my book.

As for Vick. What he did was horrible, but he paid his price. I'm pretty sure we don't have to execute him.

Stallworth was barely over the limit and hit the guy in the morning after a night of sleep. I bet he didn't even know he was over the limit.

Over the limit is over the limit. Cops don't let you off because you're a .09 instead of a .14.

Doesn't matter. He murdered somebody and got off with basically a slap on the wrist.

Stallworth didn't get a harsher sentence because it wasn't clear alcohol had anything to do with it. The guy basically ran right out in front of him early in the morning on a busy six lane road.

He didn't murder someone. Do you consider hitting a deer with a car by accident after it runs into the road in front of you hunting?
