I hope I don't get a ton of negative rep for saying this, and I think it is waaayyyy to lenient and it is because of money, but they often throw the book at someone who has any alcohol in their system when bad things happen and I hate it. Not saying this went the way it should have though. My little sister got smashed into by a guy who was right at the limit in California at .08 and thus was considered a drunk driver. My sister was sober and completely ran a red light and the guy hit her and he got all kinds of DUI related charges and felonies and everything. She knew it was her fault and even went to court for him to say it was because she felt horrible that he was gonna get screwed because of that. After the accident the guy got out and came to check on her and was coherant and rational and kind. I know a man died and it's a horrible tragedy, but I read somewhere that he was jay walking and kind of came out of nowhere. May just be Donte's lawyer's version though, so I don't know.

I understand what you're saying. But the second that dude sat down in his car at a .08 he became a drunk driver. He shouldn't have been on the road, whether the accident was his fault or not.

thirty bucks says you've driven drunk before, just like most people. and im talking about the minor buzz driving. Not the completely incoherent drunk driving.

This is why many people can empathize with Stallworth's situation. I would bet that many people who first heard of what Stallworth did initially thought: "Man that sucks for Stallworth" even before thinking about the guy that died because it is a situation that they can see themselves in. No , not everyone but many if not most people did think that way. Not right or wrong...just human nature.

30 days is not enough though....... I don't know all the details but it seems like is hard to be mad at Stallworth. Be mad at the system, the prosecutor, and the victim's family for taking the money and letting them settle on this sentence.

Here in Winston one of our part time on the weekend type News Casters was driving drunk a couple of years ago lost control of his car and hit a guy sitting on his front porch and killed him. I think he got 5 years but got out in a 1.5. He showed real remorse at the time and continued to after and still got a time.

This is really sad that people can't get the same type of treatment, be black or white, rich or poor.

I'm thinking if the guy hadn't been jaywalking and stallworth hit him on his front porch it may have been a little different. I see what you are saying however, there are different rules for different people in this country.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
