haha coolz, i really dont care i was just curious cause i thought he made a deal with someone about leaving. what a weird way to go




Vick is an idiot. Plain and simple. If you have that much money, all that fame, that "swagger" whatever that is, yet you still find it necessary to be a part of something like dogfighting, you're an idiot.

dear mr. vick,

please forgive them for they know not what they do. i'm sure you've learned greatly from this horrible experience. to all those, that call you names for exercising poor judgment, understand that they are jealous of your swagger and athletic capability. they hate to see black people successful, at anything. i wait eagerly for your return to the league. i don't think it'll be impeded by further punishment from the commissioner because if he can let that asshole, bill belichick off for jeopardizing the integrity of the game, surely he can show you some love. remember a lot of good black people spent time in prison. do your time and keep it moving.

You have to be f-ing kidding. Unfortunately for Mr. Vick, he chose the wrong hobby - Turns out killing and mutilating dogs, and then lying about it to the feds doesn't get the big endorsement deals it once did. Who knew?

Oh, and IBTL.

Would would this thread be locked?

Turning too political? It'll just move

He's a dumbass who thought he was above the law, I have no doubt. He could have anything else he wanted, why should he have to obey the laws?

He's a dirtbag.

That judge should be slapped...23 months for some damn dogs...

Oh well life imitates sh** sometimes....

look people exercise poor judgment everyday. i don't like the verdict because i don't think it judicially parallels the so called crime. but hey that's just me and my opinion. how can you kill another human being, but actually get more time for killing a dog? get the fuk outta here. that's problem number one for me.

problem number two: deer, elk, geese, fish, horses, boar, or whatever are killed daily for sport. i know there is no law against such, but they are animals too, what's the difference? have you ever seen two dogs cross paths? they wanna go at each other. it's natural. me, personally i don't see anything wrong with it(letting two dogs fight), yet i've never been to a dogfight nor have i shot an animal. so take that for what it's worth.

i do, however, think it was wrong to kill the dogs for not performing. but don't they do that to racehorses? yada yada yada, i know two wrongs don't make a right, but the irony in black/southern culture vs others is remarkable. before i digress(and subsequently get this thread moved), i believe some sort of punishment was warranted, but this wasn't just...definitely no time behind bars.

Vick wasn't sentenced for killing dogs, he pleaded guilty for the federal crime listed below:

Regarless of your believe as to how severe the crime was, you seem to be forgetting that HE BROKE THE LAW. Punishment was served well-within the limits in the law. He could've received a worse penalty. It's not a "so-called crime," it IS a crime by definition.

Here's an idea, have a problem with the fact that (human) murderers will sometimes receive a lesser sentence than this? Argue the fact that they receive too little, not that this criminal received too much. Boo hoo for him. People act often without truly considering consequences. People I know do all kinds of drugs, and obviously purchase them. Do you think they consider what will happen if they get caught with a bag of blow? I seriously doubt it. We get so desensitized to everything that we feel its our RIGHT to be able to do whatever we want. It is not our right if it conflicts with the laws. Don't like the laws? Follow the appropriate avenues to change them, but don't complain when you get punished for out-and-out breaking them.

Also:
Show me one crackhead who, given the same circumstances as Vick, would continue selling crack.
Everybody knows crackheads don't sell their own stuff. Crack dealers do. Geeeeeez.

you're right mikeycb, this doesn't make sense. give a crackhead 130 million and he'd overdose; he'd never stop. give a crackdealer 130 million and he'd buy more crack to sell. that shit is perpetual.

bad analogy.
