Different crimes. Have nothing to do with each other. The thing that was so bad about Michael Vick's crime was the intent was so prevalent. He knew what he was doing to hundreds of beautiful animals and he actually was more than just okay with it. He got delight in torturing and hearing the sounds of living creatures suffer while dying. He watched death, over and over and over. It may not have been humans but wasnt it close enough?
Stallworth got behind the wheel drunk and high and ran someone over who was illegally crossing a street. Bad. Terrible. But was he out to harm or kill anybody? Was their malicious intent? Did he take delight in it? I dont think so. What he did was terrible. But havent most of us at one time or another put ourselves in his position? Not condoning it or saying he didnt ruin many people's who were close to the victim's life, but he made a grave mistake. I do think he should have been punished more, but lets not compare the levels of intent.
Plax is just a dumb, thug who like so many other dime a dozen NFL'ers crave attention and want to feel empowered. So they play cowboys and indians but their brains arent in check with where they need to be to be packing heat. These guys arent trained to fire guns. To me going out in public packing heat in a place where there are lots of people around, is very dangerous not to mention stupid.
