I am wrong because you say so? You pomposity is quite humorous at times. Kennedy's actions/inactions resulted in the death of a human being. Vick's actions resulted in the death of a dog or dogs. Kennedy may not have driven off the bridge on purpose, but he sure as hell did not seek help on purpose. > > Now if you really wanted to compare Kennedy with a different-legal-era > sports star, go with Jayson Williams: I think Jayson Williams should have been sent to jail too. What's your point? Keep in mind, Jayson Williams did not die recently and people are not claiming he is a 'hero', so I fail to see, once again, how your analogy is relative to the discussion at hand. I also hated all the bullshit thrown around when Steve McNair was killed. People talking abotu how great of a guy he was. Well, that 'great guy' got killed because he was cheating on his wife. What a guy. Here is what I have said: I just find it odd that the same people who give Kennedy a pass for killing a woman want Vick to hang for killing dogs. Almost as if they value the life of the dogs over that of the woman. > > ------------------- > In the spring of 2002, Williams was tried on charges of gunning down > 55-year-old limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi at Williams's > estate in Alexandria Township, New Jersey on February 14, 2002.[1] > Christofi had been hired to drive Williams's NBA charity team from a > Bethlehem, Pennsylvania event to his mansion, about 30 miles (48 km) > northwest of Trenton, New Jersey.
