6 months in jail for counterfeit t-shirts!

Stallworth walking after a month versus sending a guy to jail for six months for "counterfeit" T-Shirts pretty much sums up how truly misguided the state of our union has been for the last twenty-five years.

On the contrary. It shows that one is accountable for one's mistakes, as in making the mistake of crossing a highway where one is not supposed to and not looking at oncoming traffic.

I'm asking this bc I don't know... Is there proof that the guy wasn't looking where he was going or that maybe he was running to avoid Stallworth?

I really don't know those details.

When you get run over by a car in the middle lane of a highway while crossing said highway where you are not supposed to cross it, you were not looking at upcoming traffic.

I am against DUI as much as anyone, but the man's death was a direct result of him doing something stupid.

Lot of things I'd like to say, but we'd get off topic. The guy selling Tee's got a harsh sentence, IMO. Probation, a fine, sure. 6 months is a long time to be locked in a box for what many have done less time for more. My opinion.
