There’s Little Justice in This World

Reading Bill Plaschke’s disturbing piece [“A Crying Shame,” Jan. 26] made painfully clear what a sick society we inhabit. The double standard that exists in sports allows a spoiled brat like Leonard Little to kill someone while driving drunk and not even complete a 90-nights jail sentence--surely a joke to begin with.

Adding insult to injury, the Ram linebacker can’t even muster the guts to apologize and offer his condolences to Bill Gutweiler and what remains of his family. Even if the Rams beat Tennessee in the Super Bowl, Little will remain a big-time loser.

The article about Leonard Little is a perfect example of our failed legal system. The victim suffers and the guilty party walks. Amazing what money and power can do.

I was a big Ram fan until Georgia Frontiere came on the scene. Then I cheered when they left town. This situation is one more reason to hope they get their butts kicked this Sunday.

After football, Mr. Little can return to his little life.

I’m no fan of John Rocker’s behavior, but placed in context with the story of Leonard Little, I believe that the media’s attention should put more focus on the immoral behavior of that type of athlete as opposed to the immoral ignorance of a loudmouth.

What a striking difference between USA Today’s positive Wednesday feature story, Kurt Warner and his family, and The Times’ daily criminal report, this time Leonard Little. You and your liberal-loser-columnists are so jealous of the Rams’ success that you just had to follow up the Darryl Henley drivel.
