This is sick. It's crazy. It's so bad adjectives will never do it justice. It just proves more and more that this is a racist country. What race you ask? Not black, white, mexican, chinese...........green, the color of money. If you have lots, anything is possible. ANYTHING. It controls EVERY race. Unfortunatly.
Picture this. You get the worst phone call of your life, your spouce, Mother, Father, sibling, friend....etc, was in an accident and killed by a drunk driver. Numbing.
Then oh by the way, the killer gets 30 days in the hole.
30 days!!??!! That's the same penalty I almost got for trying to sell my extra Tiger tickets in front of Comerica Park!!
Just ask friends and family of Mario Reyes, the real person who suffered, not Donte Stallworth. Blood tests revealed Stallworth had a blood alcohol level of .126 after the March 14 crash that killed Reyes, who was 59.
Stallworths lawyers said he was sorry and remorseful. Wow, that's nice to know. I wonder if this happened to me or you if we could say the same and get 30 days behind bars.
Yet the sick thing is this happens alot, and it seems like if you are an athlete or someone well off, you walk away with a slap on the wrist.
Former Lions player Reggie Rogers did the same thing.
More than 20 years ago, Rogers wound up in prison after being found guilty of negligent homicide. In that case, three teenagers were killed when Rogers ran a stop sign and collided with their car in October 1988.
Rogers, who had been the Detroit Lions' first-round pick, was dropped by the team when he went to prison. After a year behind bars, the Buffalo Bills picked him up but then dropped him after playing him in only two games. He has had SEVERAL DUI's since!! SEVERAL.
After a drunken birthday in 1998, NFL star Leonard Little crashed into and killed another motorist. His blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent. Little received 60 days and 1000 hours of community service. Six years later, after the involuntary manslaughter conviction was wiped from his record, Little was again arrested for drunk driving.
Maybe he signed some autographs and gave away some tickets. That always reduces a jail sentence.
What kind of message does this send to people? Especially kids. Athletes ARE roll models, whether they like it or not. Millions of kids live and die for there favorite teams and players.
The penalty for this crime is a joke, and it sends a terrible message to everyone, kids and adults. The average 9 to 5 guy would never get 30 days. Maybe 30 years.
