Kill a Dog = 18months in Prison, Kill a person = Probation

Today it was announced that Michael Vick was signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, he previously was with the Atlanta Falcons as their star quarterback. He also got fired from his job and sentenced to 18 months in prison for running a dog fighting "ring".

Donte Stallworth is with the Cleveland Browns, and has had several jobs in the NFL as a pro bowl caliber wide receiver. On March 14, 2009 has got shit faced in Miami Beach and killed Mario Reyes (59), after getting the dings and blood off his Bentley he received probation and a 1 year suspension from the NFL after paying the family a generous settlement.

I do not condone dog fighting, I really don't understand how people can do that, but yet they do. I do understand why people get shit faced in Miami Beach though. I suppose the intent is the difference between the sentences, Michael Vick being evil and Donte Stallworth just being a well intentioned idiot but do not the consequences matter?

It just seems like another giant disconnect in the "Justice System", really shouldn't sentencing guidlines start at Genocide and work backwards to Jay-Walking? What the hell am I thinking? Just lock everybody up, more construction jobs for prisons and more jobs for guards. Problem solved.
