Re: Fucking FDA
 

Putting aside Vick, which is a whole other story, wasn't the victim walking across the middle of a highway/freeway early in the morning, against the light, and so forth? In other words, if Stallworth weren't drunk he wouldn't have been charged with anything. Of course, if Stallworth weren't drunk he might have avoided him, but it wasn't a reckless rampage.

For some reason, my attention was drawn elsewhere.

Also, I think she is pretty attractive overall, and think Gwink was a bit uncharitable, but I am not a fan of the tattoo.

Why do you have to admit this? Does someone have a gun to your head?

Re: Fucking FDA
 

Because if I didn't I would have to work instead. So, basically, yes.

Canadians have such a distorted view of how frequently firearms play into day to day life in america.

Re: Fucking FDA
 

"After a night drinking at a bar in Miami Beach’s Fountainebleau hotel, police said Stallworth hit Reyes, a construction crane operator who was rushing to catch a bus after finishing his shift around 7:15 a.m. Stallworth told police he flashed his lights in an attempt to warn Reyes, who was not in a crosswalk when he was struck.

Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126 after the crash, well above Florida’s .08 limit."

I would imagine that it would have occurred to him that hitting the brakes, as opposed to say...flashing his brights, would be a better idea if he wasn't drunk. But at least he pulled over and called the cops afterwards. And 7:15 isn't "early in the morning" in the sense you seem to be using it. There had to have been plenty of light by then.

victim's family got a "substantial" amount of cash as settlement, which maybe played a part in making the plea go down so easy.

Re: Fucking FDA
 

There's plenty of precedent for NFL drunk drivers receiving little punishment after killing people. See Leonard Little:

"When tested, [Little's] blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent, a level that exceeds the statutory level of intoxication of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1000 hours of community service."

Isn't (an unspoken) part of why Vick has been treated so harshly by the NFL b/c dogfighting also involves gambling? Isn't illegal gambling the NFL's biggest no-no?

I do think that the fact Vick served real prison time over some dogs, while Little and Stallworth (and many like them) get 90 days or whatever for recklessly killing a person is ridiculous. But that's not the NFL's responsibility.

Re: Fucking FDA
 

I'm not sure she is a "woman" by any legal definition either.

Re: Fucking FDA
 

I know many people who have driven drunk. I'd wager it's close to 100% of us, Mormons excluded. So the only difference between Stallworth and 100% of non-Mormon board denizens is whether they actually killed someone rather than simply taking a reprehensible risk of killing someone. I don't know anyone who's ever made a stupid impulsive and impaired judgment to make an animal fight to the death for his own enjoyment. Well, not an animal that a DA and 12 jurors would think was too cute to die.

I would happily acquit anyone who staged a massive pit bull cage match in which only one pit bull in the world survived.

I will not have a full set of teeth before next week. And possibly not then. So the thread title is inapropos.

The thread will be live for at least several more weeks.
