Hard to believe he PLED to 2yr sentence........His lawyer should be disbarred, and he could win on appeal!

Minimum sentence 3 1/2 years if found guilty at trial. I'm just not sure how he could have possibly NOT have been found guilty. But I do agree 2 yrs for illegally carrying a handgun is absurd. But it's better than 3.5. He'll be out in 20 months with good behavior.

Most Brothas, Turks, Serbs, Russians, and other hot-head types can't handle the responsibility that comes with carrying a gun. They get in an argument, and that's it. They can't control themselves(tempers are totally unmanageable.) Brothas kill people in clubs. Turks kill people who dare enforce anti-smoking laws in restaurants.

Smashed on alcohol and marijuana. Damn good point.

While the sentence may seem harsh to many of you one point needs to be brought up - he was in an establishment where alcohol was served with a loaded firearm. When you mix alcohol with a loaded firearm, need I say anything else?

Here is a classic example of how those two don't mix and how in an extreme case things can go very wrong. I met a young man last week who is facing 42 years in prison, his trial begins shortly. Here is how this came about. He gets off work one day and gets a call from a cousin of his and says that some men caused her harm. He jumps in his pickup truck, buys a 12 pack and drives 2 hours to where she is to "make it right". When he gets to this home, several men charge at him with baseball bats and start beating him before he can get out of his truck. He remembers that he has a loaded gun underneath his seat, pulls it out and starts firing. Two innocent bystanders, middle aged women, are shot, not fatally. They are going to recover physically.

You carry a loaded gun into an establishment that sells open containers of alcohol, you deserve hard time.

In the case of Stallworth, I find it crazy that if the deceased was crossing the street at a designated crosswalk, his sentence would've been much harsher. The world we live in, I'll tell ya. Bottom line, he was high and drunk and killed someone with his vehicle. Yet he's shown leniency due to where the guy who got clipped was crossing the ro-ad.

Open, shut-closed, AIR tight. Open, shut-closed, AIR tight. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhht?

You buy a 12-pack for a 2 hour drive for a fight you are looking for?-you deserve life in stupid-town.

he was facing 3.5-he's lucky they got it down to two, which i find absolutely ridiculous. hell, that broad in kentucky who shot and killed her husband and then fled with the kids didn't serve that much time.

he gets out in 20 months with good behavior.

look, the biggest problem we face in this country is a lack of enough armed retards. you can see this at recent presidential appearances where most protesters aren't carrying guns.

stop with the radical agenda.
