Dog fighting is an inner city sport that has been going on for generations. I remember in Pittsburgh in 1970's; no big deal. Part of their cultural identity; no different than how the Indians do what they always have done and ignore many laws. Maybe, they should close down the churches next; I bet a bunch of people would support that too.
One of the silliest things I have ever read.
Rape, Wife beating, child abusing, drug pushing and dropping out of school and truancy are all part the "inner city culture" that you describe. Should a civilized a society also look past those offenses just because "that's how day do it inda hood"?
Give me a break, Vick doesn’t live in the inner city. He is rich. He chose to bring his “entourage” with him. He is a thug. One is supposed to grow, he had great opportunity to improve his life being a rich NFL quarterback. He choose killing dogs for fun and profit.
