Don’t you just get tired of the court of public opinion? Everyone has an opinion on Michael Vick. The latest to lobby in is President Obama. Or how about this guy who thinks Vick should be executed?
There is definitely a double standard. Depending on the issue of the day, you get a guy like Michael Vick who did 19 months in jail plus 2 months home confinement and literally was on the fringe of bankruptcy. Then you have no one talking about people like Donte Stallworth who killed a human being because he was driving while intoxicated. Stallworth got a whopping 30 days in jail. No one talks about Stallworth, but everyone talks about Vick. Or how about Ray Lewis who was present at the scene of a murder? Or Pacman Jones who is now playing again? The point is not that people don’t deserve a second chance. It is that the court of public opinion consistently has double standards.
