I guess people are failing to realize Vicks punishment was too harsh in and of itself. MV would never have gotten the punishment he got had he complied with the local police. He most likely would have gotten a fine of $500 and some community service (the same punishment people get everyday in VA courts for these same charges). The fact that he failed to help local police and the Feds stepped in he faced Federal laws and Federal punishment.

I can understand PETA being upset at the laws and miniscule punishments however comparing MV's punishment with other people who have done the same thing ....he has paid the price 3 fold. PETA should be content and ignore him and move on.

As far as Stallworth situation, with people everyday trying to beat the yellow light before it turns red it's hard to say the victim never would have been killed by a sober driver. I guess if he stumbles on to the metro tracks we should put the driver of the train behind bars for a few yrs cause he took a life.

OJ was guilty. A lot of evidence was not allowed during trial that would have put him away. After the fact the jurrer's have said had they had the info the general public had they would have found him guilty.

Buress is just an idiot. He got the minimum sentence for the crime "he" committed. It's hard to compare punishments from different states with similar charges let alone different charges. Had he done this in VA he would have been facing more charges. Carrying a concealed weapon with out a license, carrying a weapon into a bar, most likely the bar was in a non shooting zone, wreckless handling of a fire arm. I'll admit he only hurt himself...no big deal. Had someone been breaking into his house and he ran to get the gun and this happened ....no big deal. Out side the home where people with guns put others at risk, especially when not secured properly (obviously not handling it correctly whether drunk or not causing his injury) is an issue. He had it in his waist band.
