I wish the best for him. It is a shame that they are going to make an example out of him because he is a star and BLACK. Hopefully, he can still play ball soon, because that boy is bad. They should make him play for free. LOL

LMAO @ Ambrosial68….yea lets talk about weave LOL

#65 AMBROSIAL 68 I AGREE NO ANIMAL NEEDS TO BE TORTURING NOR SHOULD BE——–but everyone is not meant to be a vegan. Some are meat eaters.
God made meat eaters (lions,tigers,foxes,bears—-usually fish eater,etc.), as well as,
vegans. HUMANS can be vegans or meat eaters (in some cases both,ex. some vegans are fish eaters). Point is there is no need for torturing or inhumane treatment of humans or animals. As americans we eat too much meat (breakfast,lunch,dinner) every day & this habit is the biggest source of human diseases (especially consuming pork or too much beef)—-just read health papers or articles. American Indians (and many world tribes) killed ONLY killed animals (rabbit,buffalo,fish,etc.) when needed & use everything including bones (bones used for weapons,tools,medicine,etc.)—– they do not waste as many of us do today (we overfill our plates—then throw food out).

Michael Vick is a great athlete but i wouldn’t consider him a great football player he was very inconsisent as a player for the falcons speaking as a fan of the game. And if they suspend him for a whole season which it looks like he has no one to blame for it but himself.

I DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole thuga, druga mode that a lot of our muscians, rappers, and athletes adhere to and condone is such an embarassment for us all. Let him be a prime example for what a role model is not. Too bad his scandal happens to cut across cultural lines for corporations to wake up and see that these type of entertainers should not be fronting any brand.

Can’t understand why corporations chose entertainers like mike vick and filthy mouth rappers to endorse their products when an average acting joe, jill, or michael in a good marketing plan or commercial will most likely be more successful.

…again!!! Ashley Michelle u fine!!! LOL

#60 JC -

You’re right, but let’s also remember, there are 3 other co-defendants and they all have the same indictments - and this all started with his cousin getting stopped on a traffic stop and he had drugs in the car. He gave them Micheal Vick’s Surry, Va address. They got a warrant to search the house looking for drugs, and somebody in the house led them to the whole dog pen activity in the back.

It is all kinds of ignorant to risk your long legitimate money for short dirty money.
He had over a hundred million dollar contract with the Falcons alone not even counting his endorsements [which he is losing by the minute].

You can talk all day and night about his hood associates, but he had enough money to pay them to stay out of trouble. And it seems that the dude who took the deal is giving up all the dirt, because now on the news they are talking about adding money laundering charges.

This is so unnecessary.

41. AMBROSIAL68

@ 28 and your point? I do not fight dogs, nor do I own one, but it’s extremely contradictory for anyone to say fighting dogs is wrong when we are the same people who PAY to see boxers and ultimate fighting contenders beat each other until blood is leaking from their swollen and busted faces. So it’s fine if humans fight for sport but it is unacceptable for humans to fight dogs??? It maybe considered vicious, but isn’t dog fighting a sport as well? Come on…
_________________________________________________

I just wanted respond by stating that it’s not contradicting when it comes to animals fighting verses humans. The difference is people choose whether if they fight or not and accept the consequences. Theses dogs never reap the benefits of the finances. These animals are not asked if they want to fight verses human beings. I never heard a man ask a dog and ask, “Would you like to fight that American Blue Pitbull…you’re a full breed Rottweiler of five generations so you could give him a run for his money.” LOL.

Now don’t get me wrong. I respect what you’re saying however the majority of these animals are trained and raised into being vicious and violent…these creatures believe that their behavior is appropriate when unfortunately it’s not. They are not aware of their conduct…they think its normal to attack each other.

I don’t know if the allegations against Michael Vick are true or not and I could care less…I don’t have a heaven or a hell to put him in. But as a animal lover and Rottweiler Breeder, it bothers me to see or even heard about any creature be mistreated and abused when it is unnecessary. And I personally do not pay to see boxers and ultimate fighting contenders beat each other…I find it amazing what people will do for a few dollars and fame. But dog fighting…it’s not a good look.

Just adding my two cents.

THINKABOUTIT…………well said. He had $$$$$$$$ reasons for himself, family, and friends to walk away from all illegal activities. He did not appreciate what he had and now it’s fleeing by the minute. I’ll bet he does not even have legitimate money in the bank to get gas with.

#41 AMBROSIAL68 YOUR POINT IS IN VALID IN COMPARING BOXING & DOGFIGHTING. 1)BOXERS GET PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS — the dogs get paid nothing. 2)BOXERS CHOOSE TO GET IN THE RING——-the dogs do not.
3)Boxers get to live & spend their money after a fight——-FOR THE DOGS THE LOSER IS DEAD AND THE WINNER IS BADLY WOUNDED & MAY BE HUNG, DROWNED OR ELECUTED LATER (or the dog may be killed in the next fight or sold off). These dogs do not get money,good treatment or retirement for winning fights——they fight again and again and again until they are killed. It is nuts & silly to even think the two could be compared——-AND DOGFIGHTING IS ONLY A SPORT TO HUMANS——THE DOGS ARE IN THE RING TRYING TO STAY ALIVE!!!

aint none of us really know michael vick so we dont have to say that he is just turning to God now just because he is in trouble and honeslty how many of us dont do the same thing . blacks do treat their own worse than white people and this case may and may not have to be about race but if some of these celebs getting little bit of time for having drugs ( yall no who) and breaking the law also (they could of killed people) if he is guilty then i think that he should get community service(around animals or w/e they wanna give him ) or a couple weeks in jail(bout 1 to 3 months) and i really dont care about this there is more important things than these celebs its like we worship them and everyday we see what our priorities are as a community

and besides his friend could lie on him in order to get his butt out of hot water and get a lighter sentence so i think he is innocent (drew carey is a lame person who needs a life unless he nows what mike vick did then he can fall off)

Dogfighting is cruel and inhumane. People who do that to these poor animals should face some sort of consequences. I don’t think they should be locked up for like a decade or anything like that, but I mean, some (I don’t know what the minimum sentence is) jail time and maybe contributing to animal shelters, or a charity for animals could be enforced. I wish Vick all the luck in the world, but he knew what was going on in his owne backyard and now he needs to own up to it.

Who cares what this man has to say?!?!…

Animal cruelty is no phuckin joke!

PETA dont play

Now he on the radio talkin bout the man upstairs and all that, come on homie every1 pulls the faith in the man upstairs card….ish is played out….have fun in jail!

Everything is about race in this world, believe that. Even though Im sure Micheal Vick knew all and everything that was going on in that house. I dont think for one minute if this was a white athlete there there would be this much buzz. Im alos quite sure there is more to this story than dog fighting . whatever

Why am I not surprised that this turned racial? People generally don’t /can’t gun for you….unless you give them ammo.

I hope people are not really up in arms, ready to riot about this. As a sista, i can think of 100 things more relevant/worthy of black people marching than repping for some dumb ass accused of dog fighting.

If he’s guilty of all the horrible claims they’re charging him ( if you don’t know exactly what, do a google search, it completely SICKENED me), he should be punished to the FULL extend of the law…
That was just disgusting what he allegedly did!
He does not get a get-out-of-jail-card from me because he’s black.

I SUPPORT MIKE…I DON’T SUPPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY THO…BUT I’M STILL A BIG FAN CUZ HE’S FROM VA

re: Don’t get me wrong for saying this, I don’t like the fact that these dogs were treated this way, what kills me is how these white people are reacting when they treat human beings worse! (Black people).
…

That is what
I hate about americans. The law and the government are always “those white people” and whomever the black fool who decides to break the law may be you always have their backs. You sickos still listen to R Kelly yet wonder why big names want nothing to do with hip hop culture. Wake up! All you’re doing is creating a prison of segregation for the next generation to come and the negative images you keep feeding down the throats of modern America will have saturated the whole world with racism.

Do you have to rally and feel sympathy for every black star who is stupid enough to break the law? Why do African-Americans continue to publicly defend their right to commit crimes? So whites never vote in a black president, so cops don’t feel guilt as the bash our sculls, so our sons have to feel that sick feeling in their stomachs if they dare present themselves at a black girls doorstep?

Get it together cause ignorance is VERY contagious.

im rooting 4 vick no matter what

@65

You don’t believe in torturing animals? What do you think of the rape-stance they make those pitbulls assume in training.. you think that’s a picnic? Bitch go sitdown.

no.83! i applaud you! EXACTLY! As humans we have choices, Michael Vick could have CHOOSE not to partake in the idiotic ways of his pple and said NO to having any part of the nonsence! Instead He CHOOSE to be apart of it…anyone who believes this man didnt know what was going on prolly believes that wasn’t Lindsay Lohan’s coke in her pocket….smh…again Have fun in jail!!

@85

Chicka ain’t bright enough to understand that therefore she won’t address that she is WRONG.

@ 65 exactly.. .. thanks

Just to clarify a couple of things. Vick and co-defendants are facing a MAXIMUM of FIVE years and fines UP TO $250,000. So it’s not like IF he’s convicted, he’s going to rot in jail. And it’s the combination of dogfighting, which is illegal in all 50 states and DC, and drugs that really interests the feds. Most of the time, as in this case, police searching for drugs find evidence of dogfighting including dogs and “training” equipment. Vick has legit money, but most dogfights are bankrolled with drug money. PLUS, it’s taking the illegal activity across state lines that triggers the federal investigation.
With that said, if he committed these crimes, he should face the consequences. Maybe if we start holding celebrities accountable they’ll stop acting so foolishly. Then the people who worship them can move on and we can focus on real issues like affordable health care, unemployment, job outsourcing, and cure this younger generation of this disease that makes them think that it’s OK to have being a rapper/dope boy as their only goal in life, to drop out of school, disrespect themselves and their elders, neglect their children, and blame everyone else for their failures.
Just a thought.

Well said There Is No Need!

MY TWO CENT: THIS ABSOLUTELY IS NOT ABOUT RACISM! HOWEVER, BECAUSE VICK IS NOT JUST A BLACK MAN, BUT A RICH & SUCCESSFUL ONE, THE EVIL POWERS THAT BE WILL COME AFTER HIM WEATHER RIGHT OR WRONG! I’M SURE DOG FIGHTING IS NOTHIN NEW FOR HIM, HE JUST GOT CAUGHT SLIPPIN ON HIS SIDE HUSTLE! I AM BY NO MEANS AN ANIMAL LOVER, BUT I LOVE PIT BULL TERRIERS TO THE HEART! AND IT’S NOTHING WORSE THAN TO FIGHT YOUR DOG!
IS VICK WRONG, YES! WILL HE GET A FAIR SHAKE, PROBABLY NOT! BUT BOTTOM LINE VICK IS A BLACK MAN, AS AM I. HE KNOWS LIKE I KNOW THAT BLACK MEN ARE ALWAYS UNDER MORE SCRUITINEY THAN ANYONE ELSE! WHAT IS UNFORTUNATE IS HE DOES HAVE A STRONGER CHANCE AT GETTIN THE BOOK THROWN AT HIM VS. A WHITE MAN DOIN THE SAME THING. AT THE END OF THE DAY VICK GOTTA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR VICK!

wtf why is this turning into a race issue? some people here are so insecure about their race they always bring the race card. do something to boost your self esteem damn , when you go to places do you think like oh damn im black theyre watching me.

MAN DIZ SHIT IS FUNNY BECUZ SUM OF DA PPL ON DIS FORUM IS CRAZY HALF OF YA’LL TURNING DIS INTO A RACE SITUATION LET ME JUST TELL YA’LL SUMTHING WHERE I LIVE AT IN MIA FIGHTING DOG’S CHICKEN (YES I SAID CHICKEN) IS JUST A CRIME NO MATTA WAT ANIMALS I’M NOT A DOG LOVER JUST CAN’T STNAD DEM BUT FIGHTING DEM ARE JUST WRONG I HOPE HE GET FINE AND SERVE HIS JAIL SENTENCE AND I ALSO THINK HALF OF THIS WOULDN’T NEVA HAPPEN IF MICHEAL VICK STILL WANT’D TO BE COOL IN THE HOOD AND STILL HANGOUT WIT DOSE DAT HE NO WAS NO GOOD AT ALL AND KNOW LOOK AT HIM SMH VICK AND PACMAN NEED 2 GORW THE FUCK UP LEAVE THE HOOD BEHING YOU WHEN YOU MAKE IT BIG IF PPL IN THE HOOD GET MAD AND SHIT DEN FUCK DEM AND GO AHEAD WIT YOU AND JUST DO YOU SHIT ONLY HANG WIT DA FRIEND’S DAT U KNOW GOT YO BEST INTREST IN HEART AND DAT DON’T CAUSE NO FUCKIN TROUBLE ALL I CAN SAY IS DAT SHIT DERE’S STILL PRESSURE AROUND FROM YOUR PEERS YOUR OWN AGE EVEN WHEN U GROWN N MAKE IT BIG

MIKE IM BEHIND YOU MORE THAN 100%, THESE WHITE PEOPLE ARE RIDICULOUS FOR LABELING YOU WHEN THEY REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY WENT DOWN. THEY TAKE DOWN YOUR MERCHANDISE BECAUSE OF ALLEGATIONS. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. I HATE TO CALL HIM OUT BUT THEY LET PATRICK KERNEY PLAY WHEN HE HAD A WOMAN RAPED IN HIS DAMN HOUSE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS. IM SO GLAD LAST WEEK HE WENT UP IN THAT COURT LOOKING GOOD AS FUCK WITH HIS HEAD UP. MIKE YOU ARE GOING TO GET THIS, JUST TRUST AND BELIEVE BABY. DONT LET THESE PEOPLE GET YOU DOWN. I AM DEFINITELY PRAYING FOR YOU BABY.

OH YEAH IM NOT RACIST….LOL!! I JUST DONT LIKE THE WAY WHITE PEOPLE LABEL US MINORITIES.

SORRY FOR COMING BACK AGAIN BUT THIS IS ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE HATING TO SEE A YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL MAN DOING THINGS WITH HIS LIFE. PLEASE JUST QUIT THE BULLSHIT AND LET PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO NO MATTER WHAT RACE DAMN!!!

I think people forget that dogs are just animals. I think that they should just kill the dogs (like they are gonna do anyway), give Vick a fine, and get on with life. It wasn’t that long ago that dogs were used to attack humans. I also find it amazing that dogs have more rights then some people. There are even people in this world that treat their dogs better than their own children (that’s sick).

I am a fan of his and the falcons, and I also believe in due process of the law. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If R. Kelly can have a sex tape with a minor and still be able to travel the country and put out albums before his trial comes up then, Mike should be able to play until he goes to trial.

Plus these PETA people put animal lives over humans. I knew these people were crazy a few years ago when one of them was being interviewed on a radio station, and the host asked her if a dog was on one side of the road and a baby was on the other, and you were driving and had to hit one of them, which one would you hit. This fool said she didn’t know b/c they are both human and just as equally important. These people are more sick than Mike.

!!!BOTTOM LINE WHAT #70 SAID!!!
BIG UP #99 MUCH NEEDED CLARIFICATION!!!

IF YOUR ON THIS BLOG AND A NON-BLACK PERSON THEN NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE WHAT BEING BLACK IS! RACISM IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE, JUST LIKE SATAN IS VERY REAL! VICK WAS VERY WRONG FOR WHAT HE DID, NO EXCUSES FOR HIS CRIME, BUT BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN, IT COMPLETELY FACTORS INTO THIS SITUATION! AND THAT COMES FROM THE RACIAL HISTORY IN THIS COUNTRY/WORLD! YES, HE BROKE THE LAW (IF FOUND GUILTY) BUT THAT WAS ALSO AMMUNITION HE GAVE TO SOMEONE (A RACIST PERSON) WHO WILL USE THIS TO THERE FULL ADVANTAGE TO GIVE HIM A DISADVANTAGE.

i dont care what he says he was wrong and I”m glad nike and reebok cut the deals…he’s supposed to be a role model for kids and adults and he is treating animals like bull…..

# 106 i get you dog are just animals but datis no way to treat animlas and # 104 how the hell are u gunna sit up here and say dat vick didn’t know wat waz going up in his own home bull shit r u fuckin crazy it’s his house dat he bought n he let all dem ppl lived dere so if like he said he neva been dere bout like 5 times since he purchased it shit he defnitely knew wat was going on in his own fuckin house sum of ya’ll ppl just fuckin ridiculios sum times i promise i don’t get black ppl like i don’t get white ppl when 1 of are ppl do sumthing horrible like r.kelly we just be like oh ain’t nutin wrong wit dat ppl have sex wit underage gurls all da time but when it have 2 do wit a quarterback dat made it big and get in trouble oh it’s da white ppl no it’s da black ppl fault we know dog fighting ain’t good shit we still do it but when we get caught all of a sudden we wanna turn to god askin for help shoulda of taught of go dwhen ya’ll was taurmanting dem dogz

I KNEW ONE OF HIS BOYZ WAS GONNA SNITCH! i saw it coming. he may not have copped a deal, but he just stuck a fork in m.vick…

Why does anyone feel sorry 4 him? anyone who has any association with such autrocious activites is wrong.

AMBROSIAL 68,

When black people are held accountable for their actions, they should be men and women and deal with it.

Shifting your personal responsibility to the way side just bc white people do it too is ridiculous.

start taking full responsibility for your actions

what would we do as a people without white people to blame?

dog fighting is wrong

GOD made man and woman and the animals

who are we to use their lives as sports

then on top of that, they slaughter the poor dogs after they loose the fight

that’s wicked, evil, demonic, and Satanic

now if you’re so racist that you can defend a dog fighter just bc he’s black, then there aint nothing left to say to you anyway

#90 SHOOTING STAR

it’s all related

things like dog fighting, pimping, and dope peddling are all too common amongst us

it’s an entire mentality that creates these types of wicked phenomenas (sp)

think about the moral implications here

fighting innocent, helpless dogs for sport or money is a big sign of something much deeper

it is very sad that some of you guys dont see that

suicidal maniacs and homocidal predators are not created over night

it starts off with dog fighting and then it leads to more

this type of activity is extremely poisonous to our entire culture

but you got these black people defending vick, just bc he’s black

when does right and wrong matter?

vick is rich

he got more money than most but yet and still, he’s involved in this mess

if it’s one thing I learned for sure it’s that when people get caught out there doing dumb shit and they’re rich, then you know that’s what they really all about

his luxury and money still couldnt prevent him from “allegedly” fighting and slaughtering innocent helpless dogs

you are who you are

and I’m very happy to read alot of posts

there are alot of you who understand what it means to be human

anyone who can abuse animals is not intuned with their own humanity

you may be a mammal and a homosapien but you are not a human

you cant have humanity without having compassion

an ounce of compasssion would allow anyone to see that dog fighting is very wrong

anyone black or white involved in it is wrong

thats all it is

But it’s okay to SLAUGHTER and eat cows, chickens, and lambs? But just like we do people in society, we think less of certain animals. Cut off the heads of cows, but don’t kill dogs. Just like humans, Animals are all God creatures and they all deserve to be treated with the same respect.

Pathetic. Got all that money, and acting a fool. My mom use to say “Black men are like fish, if they dont open their mouth, they dont get caught”, How true that is.

thats what that nigga get and hope he in jail 4 a good while…dumb ass

I personally hate that people train pitbulls to be so vicious, when I was 17 I got attacked by a pitbull that belonged to a person that hosted dog fighting, that was the scariest thing that ever happened to me! The pit bit a chunk out of my right leg, out of my back, and finally locked jaw on my waist all together i had to get 75 stitches, I was lucky that it did not get to my face, I was alone when I got attacked and screamed at the top of my lungs until someone came outside to help me!!

i mean do you guys understand that he electrocuted helpless animals, hung them and killed them because they didn’t perform in a dog fight. Thats another form of slavery. over 60 dogs were took from his house, 5 treadmills made for dogs, a rape stand. thats where they tie down a female dogg and it let it be bruttally raped by several other dogs. i mean c’mon how can you say someone with that type of mentallity is sexy?

and trust me once your in a federal court house it doesn’t matter how much money u got white or black, doesn’t give you a pull 1 way or the other. my best friend which is white got a 30 year federal prison sentence for distribution of cocaine 10 kg’s to a undercover officer. another guy (black guy) around the same time got caught with 10kg’s to the same officer in my city and he got 15-20 years. so race don’t mean nothin to the federal goverment when you get indicted.

Forget all the race talk. Bottom line is, dog fighting is illegal and wrong. The things done to these dogs after the fights are cruel and sick. If the man is guilty (and it’s truly hard for me to believe he’s innocent if all of this happened at his own house), then he brought it on himself, and he should be locked up. He knew that crap was foul when he did it, there’s no way not to understand how foul that is. I have no sympathy for someone involved in that.

This dude stupid.

#75 & ComplexnDope, well put. If we want to stop being used as examples…how about stop doing crimes. If your ass isn’t a regular church goer, stop relying on the lord to come to your aide when your in troublek( you wasn’t thinking about the lord when you were drowning and executing those poor animals). Also, Human and animal boxing are completely different. Humans have a choice whether they want to box or not, animals are breed and trained to do so. Its our job as(supposible)”suprerior” beings, to protect all living creatures.
I’m a major animal lover, so Mike is getting everything he deserves.
I do eat meat, but it’s kosher,lol.

Well I’m a dog lover and I believe he should be held responsible for his actions/part in the crime…yes “CRIME” there is a 14 page indictment out on vick…with details on how these dogs were mistreated….just sickening. I have 3 dogs, one is a pit..I wish a mofo would try to mistreat him. Bottom line..crying racism is a cowardly way of defending a criminal..yes CRIMINAL, he needs to be in jail

he couldn’t find anything else to do with his time but to have some damn dogs fight?! i feel bad for him but then again i don’t. it’s just stupid!!!! do something legal for a change….. instead of making us look bad

While i have no sympathy for Vick, I will say its quite hypocritical for people to call out dog fighting when other things like bullfighting, greyhound racing, horse/camel racing, and the use of fur are accepted (and celebrated) all over the world.

ALL forms of animal abuse are disgusting and people who participate should be punished.

My coworkers have been talking about this all day. I’m a dog lover with a pitbull of my own who I love to death, and after hearing of all the things those dogs went through just to earn some money for piece of shit dogfighters, I felt sick and hurt because with any given change of events, my dog could have been owned by those bitchass motherfuckers. So Vick, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t fight the dogs yourself, it doesn’t matter if you’re black, if you’re guilty of having the knowledge that this ish was going on on your property, then you’re as guilty as the people who trained the dogs for hours on end, tied them up in stands so they could be raped. These dogs were killed brutally and without compassion, so if you had knowledge of that Vick, then you’re guilty 100%, and you need to pay as dearly as our justice system will allow.

It doesn’t even matter if he’s innocent though because the mere association of Vick’s name with dogfighting has pretty much fucked him up; so the damage is already done. PETA is going to be on his ass now, fans will be lost and endorsements have already been snatched back, so in the public eye he’s already guilty, and once again our culture is coming under fire for condoning this violent madness.

Vick has the Feds after him; which have a 95% success rate. Then the local authorities want to press charges and more charges may come up in August.

If he is convicted of the alleged crimes, which actually happened in 2001/2002, he might face up to 6 years in prison and a $350,000 fine. Personally, I can understand up to 3 years in prison but 6???!!!. I mean aggravated manslaughter is 10 years!..You mean to tell me that it’s almost to the equivalent of shooting someone? ..I’ve heard people getting 6 years for drugs but dogfighting? .. I bet some members of PETA wish that it was 10 years or maybe even more.

@ 128.. Having knowledge of it is one thing…Actually taking part in the execution of the dogs is entirely different and should be a stiffer penalty.

People said the same thing about Kobe, Duke Lacross Players, etc. I’m going to hold my judgement until after the trial in November.

I BEEN WAITIN TO SPEAK BOUT THIS. NOW I KNOW WAT HE DID WAS WRONG. BUT THE MEDIA LIKE ALWAYS BLEW IT UP WAYYYYY! TOO MUCH, I KNOW IT’S MORE PPL IN THE WORLD THAT’S DOIN THE SAME THANG. THEY ACT LIKE MIKE VICK STARTED A OUTBREAK OF THEM. LOL, JUST FINE HIM AND GET ON WITH FOOTBALL SEASON

Ok fighting the Dogs to the death is cruel, but what about Boxing,Football & Wrestling?…Are these not bone crushing sports of blood?…and the competitors are HUMAN BEINGS!…let somebody try and cancel MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL or HBO PAY-PER-VIEW BOXING!. You’ll really see society’s priorities then.Sooo Yeah he should be fined for the deaths of the dogs (if any) , made to do community service in a shelter for animals for like 2 good years. Humiliation and a higher level of compassion is what he needs…but come on..send him to jail and destroy his career?…That won’t be right.

“Freeeee Michael Vick”…”Freeeee Michael Vick”..(i’m practicin) cuz he’s soooo handsome.I would have to pickett that jailhouse everyday!

@ 119 SHANA203

Damn. I live in BedStuy and I fear being attacked by some loose pit more than being a vic of some human-based crime. in fact, the odds of being a crime vic is way lower!

Thanks for sharing that. And I hope you heal well.

@116

I think that we hold dogs and cats in higher regard because they are domesticated animals and have assimilated themselves into our culture as “family members” in most cases. People are also more prone to “personifiy” dogs and cats, by calling them “babies” and the like. This doesn’t happen nearly as much as other animals, though I’m sure it does exist.

That said, you DO have a point. But I’m not so sure it can be called hypocrisy. It’s just different value systems for different animals. Perhaps that’ll change someday, but like the parallels in human relations (class, race) I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

@#73 i agree with you 100% Mike new he was wrong. Yeah he was doing this b4 he got into the NFL but he should have known to get our immediately. People that you think are your friends will turn on you in a minute. He is gonna pay deeply for this and unfortunately he may not recover to his known status.

@ 113 - I never played the race card.

@ 116, 129, 131, 132 - I agree with you completely!

@ 127 & 134 - I totally understand your point of views.

We all have the right to disagree - RESPECTFULLY PEOPLE - RESPECTFULLY……

I think the man is sick..the dogs are already harmed just from doing that which was bad enough by itself. but it really wasn’t necessary that he and those other men had to kill the dogs after losing a fight! i mean i read that they would shoot, strangle, electrocute, hang, etc the dogs. i mean you are sick individual to do something like that the fact that they were dogs doesn’t make it ok.. and what amazes me is how every time after somebody does something that they know was wrong then they wanna talk about the man upstairs. whatever. he sick, and the sad thing is that he probably wont have to face any real punishment.

@136 AMBROSIAL68

Succinct and eloquent. Much appreciated.

I’m from Southeast Virginia actually just miles from where Mike Vick grew up. Of course no one want to see animals tortured. But, there are so many other things that the taxpayers dollars could be used for such as the homeless, healthcare for children and bring the war to an end. The Commonwealth of Virginia does not want to see a young black man suceed. The same thing happen to Allen Iverson. This thing is bigger than Mike Vick. I dont think it’s all about him going to jail, it’s about MONEY. I hate the fact that some of these young guys with so much talent find themselves in unnecessary situations such as this. There should be 130 million reasons why Mike should have thought of something else to do with his time if indeed these allegation are true. Also, when things happen like this you really know who your true friends and family are. Dont let me get started on the PETA people. Just last year in Virginia and couple of their own employees dumped dogs in a trash dumpster. Where are they when cases come up where pit-bulls have attack children? For the Falcons to completely not support Vick while the case is going on is completely wrong. Mick Vick has made the owner as well as the city alot of money. He has put the Atlanta Falcon’s on the map. Again, I trust that justice will prevail but then to we are in the DIRTY SOUTH!!!

This society is one big “cock” tease: I swear sometimes I think the powers that be in this country is fucking with its citizens and laughing about it.

They give you alcohol and making millions of off it, and they tell you can’t drink after certain hours.

They give you a gun and making millions of off it, and they tell you if you carry or shoot this gun, you can face a minimum of 10 years.

They give you cigarettes and making millions of off it, and they tell you they ban public smoking.

They give you drugs, prescription and OTC, and they tell you DON’T DO DRUGS.

They sell you this idea of freedom and All I’ve heard is that You Can’t Do this, or You Can’t do that. This country has more laws and rules than communist China.

I don’t know what amazes more about the entire Vick saga. Is it the fact that this man had a sick twisted perversion in torturing animals, or people on here believing that laws in this country is set in stone or is equitable to all groups and races. I will mention just a few names, John Levy, Dick Cheney, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan…these are a few names of people who reside above the law. The laws that many of you are preaching about is a mythical construct designed to keep you, the lower class and certain racial groups in check.

It is funny how the rich and powerful will engage in their own perversions, yet they go unscathed. I remember one of my good friends, a white man, who loved to go game hunting. This is a sport where men dress up in army fatigues and hunt for stags and elks, all for the name of sport. If you enter this man’s house, you see a collection of prized deer all hanging from his wall. Game hunting is a sport for kings and the wealthy.

To explain my point concerning man-made laws, I will bring in a more poignant example. In the 80s cocaine terrorized every aspect of American society. Cocaine was considered a drug for the wealthy and crack was the drug of choice for the poor. The draconian law made famous by Regan, essentially made the penalties for crack cocaine offenses 100 times more severe than those for powder cocaine. Why would two identical drugs carry different penalty?

Do you know why they have the distinction between white collar crime and blue collar criminals? Compared to Blue collar criminals, white-collar criminals are not more rigorously pursued. Why is that? A white collar ciminal is typically a person of respectability and high social status. Do you think it is just coincidence that a white collar criminal can extort 1000s of dollar from a company or customer and face a lesser sentencing that a blue collar criminal who robbed a liquor store for 100 dollars?

I want you people to understand that the powers that be in this country set their own laws and rules to benefit only one group. Do not be naïve. Racism is real, but in today’s society you need a sharper eye to catch it…because, it’s not so obvious any more.

1st the media is blowing this way out of water!!! Just cause a man and rich and has a successful career they go after him. Also this may not be a race issue but, if a young black man has a lot going for himself, they take everything you do and put it undera microscope! Like ol gurl said early in the forum, the other quaterback raped a girl and got to play…WTF!!! Now Vicks situation needs to be more humilation then penalty.

Also the #2 dog fighter in the states just got sentence earlier and they not blowing his story up?!?!?! I WONDER WHY….BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD ACTUALLY CARE! He’s not a big story like Vic….which leads back to the MEDIA HYPE and feds not having anything else better to do then try to tear someones else life apart!!! yea he was wrong for his actions but does he deserve jail time hell naw!!! BIG BROTHER HAS U FOOLS BLIND!!! Wake up!!!

Continue to keep your faith in God….but you seriously need help gambling on the lives of animals…

Amen @ #67!!

Fucc mike vick!

@41 ~ The difference between boxing and dogfighting is that boxers CHOOSE to do that. These animals had no say in what they were forced to do.

I hope MV gets his. I doubt he was thinking about God while he was torturing those animals.

I’M A VICK FAN 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of his friends did bust on him, but what can you expect if your “friends” are people who like to kill dogs in sick ways?

I love how everyone has trust in the Lord when they get in trouble.

The black man continues to allow himself to be put at the mercy of his enemies. It amazes me that the black man continues to trust people. He doesn’t understand that there is a war being waged against him on a financial, economic, mental, and spiritual level. Whether the man, Mike Vick, is guilty or not I don’t know but it always perplexes me how simple black men are. Whether he’s guilty or not, his mind is not trained so he’s guilty of ignorance and stupidity which is a crime in and of itself.

LMAO at the number of devils on this post that worship Satan but have the nerve to call out Michael Vick for calling on the name of the Lord in his affliction (Hosea 5:15). If he is sincere no man or woman can attack Michael Vick for calling on the Most High. The only reason why you people are angry that he’s calling on the Lord is because they want the black man to be bereft of hope. He should come on TV butt-naked, bow down, beg for forgiveness, and take his lashings from the owners of the Falcons at the 50-yard line of the Georgia Dome. They probably want the man to go somewhere and hang himself so that there will be one less male negro on planet earth. When you read the Bible, the some of the greatest servants of the Lord were the most wicked men before the Lord called them to serve him (Acts 8:1-3, 9:1-12, etc.).

It is true that the black man continues to allow himself to be made an example, but the people on this post that talk all that shit about “if blacks didn’t act that way, the white man wouldn’t have a reason to run blacks over the coals” are full of nothing but shit. These negroes know damn well that if the conduct of blacks in America was picture perfect, there would still be the same stereotyping, racism, and covert operations on the black community. Those blacks say what they say because they never want the caucasians to be held accountable for their actions. Never. It’s always the black man’s fault. That’s good for a sober-minded black man because it lets us know who our enemies are and who will have to be disposed of when the Lord gives us the power. The simple black men ,like Michael Vick, make themselves a prey.

He is so stupid for throwing away his career over this. Don’t get me wrong, dog fighting is inhumane and horrible. But, they are going to make an example out of Vick because he is well known. The law also needs to crack down on the nobodies doing this everyday. I first heard about this on Global Grind’s MySpace. Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/theglobalgrind

MICHAEL VICK is a murderous DOG KILLER. Instead of going to jail, about 18 niggas should beat his ass to a bloody pulp…then leave him in a dark room for about 2 weeks. And just as he’s damn near death, they should release all his damn pit bulls to come in and devour him…. And I hope those damn dogs are burping and cleaning their teeth as they leave….

“@ 28 and your point? I do not fight dogs, nor do I own one, but it’s extremely contradictory for anyone to say fighting dogs is wrong when we are the same people who PAY to see boxers and ultimate fighting contenders beat each other until blood is leaking from their swollen and busted faces. So it’s fine if humans fight for sport but it is unacceptable for humans to fight dogs??? It maybe considered vicious, but isn’t dog fighting a sport as well? Come on…”

You sound dumb… THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS PEOPLE (boxers etc) HAVE THE CHOICE! DOGS DON’T… NOW, I AGREE WITH WHOEVER SAID YOU NEED TO SHUTUP AND GO TWIRL YOUR HAIR… YOU SOUND SLOW.

***This has nothing to do with my opinion of M. Vick… I dunno. But, In America: we need to value the fact that we ARE innocent until proven guilty, not matter how it looks.***
