MICHAEL VICK SPEAKS OUT

Monday, July 30, 2007

mvick.jpg

Michael Vick has been the recipient of ridicule and wide spread outcry for the dog fighting charges he has been hit with. If you’ve been under a rock somewhere, than you might not know about this.

Beginning on April 25, 2007, widespread media publicity was drawn by discovery of evidence of unlawful dog fighting activities at a property he owns in a rural county in southeastern Virginia. On July 17, 2007, Vick and three other men were indicted by a federal grand jury for felony and misdemeanor charges involving a 6-year long interstate dog fighting venture called “Bad Newz Kennels” and tens of thousands of dollars in gambling activities.

He went on V-103 today and spoke to Porsche Foxx about what’s been going down and why he loves his fans.

“I put my faith in the man upstairs…I know it’s light at the end of the tunnel”

“I know I put the city through a lot. Under the right circumstances…If I had that opportunity I would love to come back”

“To all of my ATL fans I love ya’ll and I hope to see ya’ll again that remains to be unseen but I’m working on it” [SOURCE]

Thanx to Sandra Rose for the audio!

@ 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 was in my bathroom one night in my apartment and I heard my neighbor being beaten by her husband. She was screaming in a foreign language and all I heard was constant slaps and banging against my wall, it was so loud that I had to close all of my doors just to hear my tv. Now, I had two choices; ignore what was going on, or try and get that woman some help. So I called the police. If I hadn’t done that, who knows what would have happened to the woman and her baby. I believe that had something happened to the woman and her child, I would be just as guilty as the assailant because I could have done something to stop it, but I didn’t. Same thing with Vick; if he knowingly let that shit go on then that must mean he thought it was ok, so he’s no less guilty than the dogfighters IMO.

I do however agree that this is the same thing as the Duke lacrosse players; but even though they were proven innocent, their image was totally ruined, and whenever someone mentions them they automatically think about that allegedly raped stripper. Guilty or innocent, Vick’s image is ruined now and he has a lot of work to do to repair it. Like I said PETA is going to be on his ass to the maximum now, regardless of his guilt or innocence.

young d said:

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…..

Bill Said:

Dog Fighting is a EVIL sport.

It trains the dogs to have a propensity for killing OTHERS
*whether it be another human being or another animal….

The Dog will only want to KILL after it’s been tained for dog fighting…….

I can provide you with SEVERAL links to VARIOUS stories about Pit Bulls that kills children and other animals

I’ll say this much only because there are two ways i see people R looking at this whole affair. One is from the legal stand point and the other pretty much from the moral stand point. Well let me be the second or third to shed a bit of light on you folks. The U.S is hypocritical in all its existence. Thus there is not a moral standard for any of us to stand on. Cause in some form or fashion we all have our faults no matter how big or small, to be fair it should be one for all. So for all you pet lovers out there please (and a few other choice words). Since when did a dogs life mean more than a humans life. The real answer is in this country’s history. (a black man wasn’t worth a dogs life, in fact it was worth 2). But without going too far back we need to understand the insane attacks on black. This man has already been convicted and the law (lawyers and prosecutors) has ways of doing this before a charge is dealt or a trial set. We don’t know what Vick did all we know is what Taylor did and he said he electrocuted and shot a damn dog. If there are so many damn dog lovers in this world Y am i seeing all this damn strays out and about and Y are the shelters and humane societies killing them off when they become overcrowded. Because a damn dogs life means nothing as harsh as it would sound. And i use to have 3 doobermans, a german sheperd, and a chi-chi-wa-wa (aka a mut) needless to say i gave em all away when i moved from the city. My girl dooberM got hit by two cars one time and that was it we put her down. They all were guard-dogs. Hmmm sidenote: do we kill off unwanted children, bastard childs and developmentally challenged kids. NO! Because we try to protect them as best we can, there human.
U have these idiots out here overdosed on emotions that would try to save/protect every living organism on this earth. Kiss my (choice word)! Those guys while having did some insane things should be punished by all means fine them heavy but jail is crazy. Besides send them to jail and we all have to pay having this stupid trial we all are paying now. You have people dying of hunger “HUMANS” but no body marches or protest for money for the hungry. Yet these mis-directed predominantly white females want to put and end to dogfighting. And are willling to destroy a persons career and countless people he supports lives to do it. I can’t, I can’t even put anymore thought to it. U know people eat dogs in some countries, but i’m sure we will be going to war with them soon!!!!!!!!

ANY muhfucka that says “it’s not about race” is a fool, liar, or done bumped his goddamn head. It’s ALWAYS about race (and gender-and sexuality) in America. Where the fuck are y’all from? PEACE.

Neither people nor dogs should fight. However that would be unrealistic because it is natural to have some competative spirit. But it is not natural for humans to pit innocent beasts against one another in their quest for more and more violence. At least in a boxing ring there are safeguards in control. The fighters are well payed and do not fight to the death. They are fighters becuase of the big money they make. I doubt if anyone would lose sleep over a dead dog. The dog gets nada. I have worked in an animal hospital for the past fifteen years and you would not believe the way that some humans torture animals. I wish that every human responsible for the inhumane death or torture of an animal could feel the same pain. And to make a sport out of it for monetary gain, oh no hes got to go. Its not a white or black thing its a humane thing.

@156 ~ If his career suffers for this, he has no one to blame but himself. No one FORCED him to be involved in this shit. Some people always want to put the blame everywhere except where it really belongs.

Well I for one don’t feel sorry for Michael Vick at all. He brought this all on to himself. I do feel however that the media is trying to make an example out of him because he is a black man but, he was the one who was participating in illegal activity. What gets me about this whole situation is that, because of his celebrity, some black people still want to give him a free pass. I think it’s really pathetic that people still support him after these heinous accusations.

You know doc, I am a black women. And I have dogs. And who is to say whether or not dogs or humans are most important because to tell the truth, neither one of us will ever know the answer. When you and I die, just like any other organism, we are dust. But, I do know that torturing something with lesser means than yourself is cruel, unwarranted and — it is just because we can… In no way do I minimize human suffering, there are people dying all over the world — and many people of color– but that does not excuse the fact of what mr. vick did. There are shelters and the streets where a dog tries to survive just like a person would. We have our mortalities due to disease and war and hunger just like any other species. But to have a certain species maliciously and purposefuly put to death a living creature with a personality and feelings and a will to live— merely for entertainment purposes— is just wrong.
I can’t stand in judgement of anyone, but you need a little introspection.

They act as if those dogs are humans. America needs to reevaluate what is really important in society. who gives a damn about some dogs when there are chidren being abused and soldiers being killed. They should make him pay a fine if anything, jail time is bullshit for this petty crime!

Innocent till proven guilty people. I have never seen such hatred. Such self-righteous people. I agree that the crime is horrible,but judging before all of the facts have been heard is criminal as well. I think Vick’s judgement has been poor sometimes. Who’s hasn’t been ,but that doesn’t make him guilty. If we were all guilty by association,many of us black people would be under the jail.

I live in the Atl. and the city is divided among racial lines. Not neccessarily about dog fghting but a lack of fairness and the total unfair conviction in the court of public oppinion. The story is constantly being slanted to sway the public opinion to favor one side(PETTA etc). We love you and are praying for you Vick and your family. Yes it is ok for Vick to openly acknowledge God in a crisis. God doesn’t care when or how you come to him as long as you do. He that is without sin,especially PETA,Klansmen,or exklansmen cast the first stone. The elected official that was an ex-klan member was forgiven for his hate inspired actions,but Vick can’t be forgiven for his alleged involvement in dog fighting business. Please thank God our actions are not ultimately judge by man because we would have a small society.

@167 Yeah Thanks Shawna, I got luv for you my sister. And i agree with a few of yours statments. I’m thinking maybe you read my statements wrong. If its just whether or not dogs are human or not. I assure you they are animals nothing more nothing less. We (us humans are the superior animal-thus labeled human) and i’m not sure if you have children or not but if you could only save dog or child in a given situation which one would you pick? In correcting one of your statements “we don’t know what Vick did” at most he sponsored/invested in the company which makes him a businessman. Similar to a CEO (Enron, etc) and he doesn’t have a similar impact in any “human” life. Funny my lady is a veterinarin and she was kicking the same knowledge about personality and feelings of dogs and cats, as you are now. But after i discussed with her the reality and differences in a career as opposed to nature i believe she understood (she got quiet). I’m not saying that to kill an animal for enjoyment is right but i can’t sit here and say its wrong but I can sit here a say its not nice. I can also say that maybe that person needs to figure out why they are killin animals (seek mental help). But should we send them to jail, please. Make them pay a heavy fine to let them know that they are apparently breaking a law. By the way the only reason its a law is because some penis(es) filled with emotions got together and said we love domestic animals lets make sure we protect them for people who give (some choice words) about them. Otherwise the why aren’t the same penis(es) fighting to save the cows and pigs that are being tortured, slaughtered and eating. Why haven’t we condemed those folks over in asia for eating dogs?
As to race see whats the latest at the court house in VA. Hate mail!, u think.

@ambrosial68 you got some serious/funny lyrics. I find you very interesting. Respect!

@163 LEA.
Might not be because of the white man, but i think that divorce may have messed with your mentality. (@164-165)

Black folk need to stop making excuses for (choice word) that happens to us. Ha, most would say yeah we need to stop pulling the race card. While yes we should stop. I was talking about if the (choice word) is racism than we should say it loud. And we need to stand up as a whole against it. This joint is clear as day. I don’t believe we are saying the dude may not have issues but all this media coverage and PETA group shhhhh. They (shea whitey) is assaulting Vick and its as clear as Vicks involvement in this whole thing (not saying he is guilty of all that). Take a look at all the trouble people on his team has been in, Patrick Kerney (former falcon free agent) had some chick gang raped in his crib, while he was allegedly sleeping. Now a few questions: What is the difference in that and Vick’s story (look up that story)? What happened to the case, was there one? What color is Patrick? hahahahahahaha I’M DONE race has alot to do with it for yall black folk who still after so much that has and continues to happen to us, don’t get it. Do a search on “THE JENA 6″

Dear Michael Vick and supporters:

If Michael Vick was on his knees right now asking God to forgive him for the years of suffering he has caused these poor, misfortunate animals, then I might be thinking differently. Instead, he is taking God’s name in vain to make himself appear pious while denying any part.

The fact that this has been made into a racial issue is wrong and way off base. Dogfighting is an evil “sport” involving greed, brutality and severe cruelty. Anyone who takes part in such a thing is guilty of exploiting these most innocent of God’s creations. You need to realize that making money off of the pain and suffering of animals is not exclusive to any race.

Someone else commented that the black race are treated worse than animals — are we still slaves? Are there choke collars and chains around our necks? Is Michael Vick being lynched or beaten? I can assure you that he will be given a fair trial with the best lawyers his money can buy.

We can rise above our past and become successful — just as Michael Vick was given the opportunity to do. But now, since he has committed such atrocities against man’s best friend, he is going to fall. And none of us can stop him. He has only himself to blame.

And shame on those of you for blindly supporting him just because he is of your same race or “good looking” or feel bad that his homeys couldn’t wait to “snitch” on him to save their own necks. How can you ignore all the evidence? Have you read the court papers and allegations? They are extremely damning and horrific.

God had NOTHING to do with the evil this man and his co-horts willingly committed for profit. However, I do believe the devil was smiling while these dogs were being torn apart, electrocuted and buried in his back yard like discarded trash.

It’s a shame that some black people are brainwashed and can’t see right through this shit. Are they going to lock lindsay cokehan up for what she did is way far worse than Michael vick and his dog fighting and on top of that she tried to blame her mess on a black dude,but the white media makes it seem like she’s a white girl that needs help.

it’s crazy that people already condeming Michael vick for dog fighting,when whites do stuff it’s legal. They can go out and kill doves,deers and ducks,but when somebody make dogs fight they’re being cruel to animals. Whites worship and treat animlas (particulary the dog) better than huemans(black people)because the dog is their best friend, since they were living like dogs and having sex with them in the caves of the caucas mountains. It’s funny the media haven’t brought up a pitt bull raping a 2 yr old boy in Buffalo, Ny. Killing a dog is like killing a white women to many white people. Here’s a video of white redknecks loving their animals to the extreme!

George Bush hunts animals as a sport, and its not a problem. I am against dog fighting; however, I feel white america is blowing this out of proportion because he is a young black millionaire: white america’s worst nightmare.

I don’t know if anyone already said this or not but if I was millionaire I certainly could find better things to do than invest in some dog fighting ring. I’m not annoyed with him just because of the alleged inhumane treatment of dogs more than I am because of his inability to do something that save lives instead of destroy them. I honestly hope it isn’t true because I hate to see another minority imprisoned….

I’m personally a dog lover and I can’t stand any form of animal fighting because it is too gruesome and inhumane for me to stomach. I just hope that this is a wake up call to all the dumb azz people out there who rather invest in stuff that does not contribute to the growth of our communities. STOP the NONESENSE PLEEEEZE!!
