NFL player Donte Stallworth got 30 days for running over a man while DUI. You're $hitting me. Micheal Vick got more for Dog Fighting! While Micheal is a POS in his own way for doing that in the first place, no HUMANS were killed. The man on ESPN said it turned out good for Donte AND the victim He's dead, it turned out real good for him If someone randomly unloads a gun into the air and one of those bullets fall and kills someone, is that any different than DUI and killing someone? I think NOT. Well the chances of killing someone while driving is probably higher.

Wow, this is totally sick. Where is the justice... There isn't any. My Mom was killed by a drunk driver in 1982 and the idiot that was going the wrong way on the freeway was killed with her. You can see by the link below the and a lot of people pretty upset about this. And rightfully so. vengeance is mine and I will repay saith the Lord. that vengeance

It reminds me of a passage in the Bible and the book of Genesis ,you can look it up if you like, but clearly states that God as judge will do right. That is certainly what we do not see in this world. Especially in the times in which we live when liberalism is rampant and the majority have thrown out any idea of the biblical judgment. It's truly sad to hear of such injustice going on, but remember God said can be poured out now in this life and in eternity to come."Shall Not the Judge of All the Earth Do Right?" Genesis 18:25 Ecclesiastes 3:17, I said in my heart,“ God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

For those who are interested and want to be encouraged read on. JESUS CHRIST THE JUDGE (Acts 10:42)
Very early in the Word of God the fact is established that God will judge all the earth. "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Gen. 18:25). "The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed." ( I Sam. 2: 10).
One does not have to go as far as the New Testament to determine that the person of the Godhead who will be the Righteous Judge will be none other than Jesus Christ. (Ps. 110).
I. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A JUDGE
A. To be righteous - (Ps. 96:10,13; 97:2)
Two things may be said in the consideration of the Righteousness and Justice of God: first, there is the imposing of righteousness laws and demands, which may be called legislative holiness, and may be known as the Righteousness of God; second, there is the executing of the penalties attached to those laws, which may be called judicial holiness. So that in the Righteousness of God we have His love of holiness, and in the Justice of God, His hatred of sin.
B. To determine the truth-
-The Old Testament judge was to "make diligent inquisition" to find the truth (Deut. 19:16-21)
-The truth finding process is laid down wonderfully in type in (1 Kings 3:16-28), when Solomon exercised the wisdom of God (I Kings 3:28).
- See also (Jn. 8:16,26)
C. To be compassionate-
"Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful" (Ps. 116:5). Nowhere has the righteous mercy of Jesus been better displayed than when He dealt with the adulterous woman in (Jn. 8:1-11).
D. To listen to the defendant.
"Righteous art thou, 0 Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of Judgments:" (Jer. 12:1).
- In (Lk. 19:20-22) the Lord judged the man based on the testimony of his own mouth. "And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth wit! I judge thee, thou wicked servant."
E. To determine motives-
- The rich young man cloaked impure motives with spiritual language (Matt. 19:16-22). - All of (Matt. 23) is a dissertation of Jesus exposing the impure motives of religious Pharisees.
F. To be fair in judgment-
- The widow was poor, but judged fairly by Jesus (Luke 21:1-4). - (See also Isa. 11:4)
G. To reward righteousness-
"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." (2 Tim. 4:8) - (See also Heb. 6:10)
II. HOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE OF GOD IS REVEALED
A. In the punishment of the wicked.
- David reminds his timid advisers, who encourage him to flee, that there is a God who will judge the acts of the wicked men who seek his life. (Ps. 11)
- Pharaoh even recognized his wickedness and stated the plague of hail was justly sent (Ex. 9:22-27). See also (Dan. 9:12-14; Rev. 16:5,6)
How careful sinners ought to be not to fall into the hands of the righteous Judge! No sinner at last will be able to say, "I did not deserve this punishment."
B. In forgiving the sins of the penitent. (1 Jn. 1:7-9)
Forgiveness is based first upon a confession of what we are (Mk. 7:25-30). Secondly, it is based upon the blood of Christ who was judged on our behalf (2 Cor. 5:21). (See also Mk. 2:1-11)
C. In keeping His word and promise to His children - (Neh. 9:7,8)
All of (Heb. 11) is a reminder to us of the faithfulness of God to perform according to His Word.
D. In showing Himself to be the vindicator of His people from all their enemies (Ps. 129:1-4).
E. In judging the works of the saints.
Even salvation does not exempt a person from judgment. (Heb. 9:27) It simply determines which judgment seat they will stand before. The lost will stand before the Great White Throne of judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). The saved will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ (Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10).
Truly "God is no respecter of persons", for everyone will be judged of Him.

The system is about getting the right judge. To get the right judge, you need the right lawyer, and keep in mind, the right judge isn't necessarily the right judge unless you have said lawyer. There's a reason certain attorneys are so expensive and isn't purely because of their legal wizardry. While it's highly doubtful any money changes hands directly, you'd be a fool to think these high priced lawyers aren't out there indirectly wooing these judges.

It isn't always about money. I have two examples from my home town of 2000 people. A guy I know was drunk and wrecked his car and threw the girl out the window killing her. He got probation. My old football coach was drunk and killed a whole family who was on their way home from a wedding and I don't think he got more that probation. He learned his lesson though....he got another DUI when we lost in the semifinals. What kills me about DUIs and DUI deaths is they are SO preventable on so many levels. How about getting something, like people with DUIs have to get, that tests your BAC when starting your car? I would vote for a law that required that on every car, but it will never happen. It's sad and pisses me off to say, but there is too much money gained from people getting DUIs. I'm really sorry to hear about your mother Allen.

Unfortanately Dante stallworth isnt the first professional athlete to kill somebody while intoxicated and driving, and his conviction pails in comparision to the verdicts handed down to Rob Ramage the former nhl who killed his friend and former nhler Keith Magnuson.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ramage#Off-ice_activities_and_trial.
-- Other Athletes that got slap on the wrist punishments for killing ppl while driving drunk
Craig Mctavish-- Dany Heatley Reggie Rogers Leonard Little Jim Leyritz etc

How about forget testing your BAC before driving, and make it ZERO tolerance? I know some "party goers" will call BS BUT the first drop starts affecting reaction time...right? Get a cab, DD, hotel, walk, whatever........ Then when someone gets a DUI don't slap their hands, break those MFer's. When someone Kills another, nail their balls to the wall!!!! I don't buy the "accident" crock of $hit. Its no different than shooting a gun at random people on the street. I might kill someone or I might not, I might permanently hurt someone, or not. The same with DUI....JMNSHO

There are a TON of laws that I bet could be dealt with that way, but there are always ulterior motives. Who would have thought the correctional industry was such a huge profit business.
