Former Atlanta Falcon, now Philadelphia Eagle Michael Vick, fresh off Sundays appearance on 60 Minutes, sure has his loyal supporters, and they have surprising strength in numbers.
All seem to agree that Vick has done his time for running Bad Newz Kennels, his infamous dogfighting ring. So he tortured, maimed, electrocuted, drowned, and body-slammed a bunch of dogs. You want remorse for that, when other football players kill people? Leave the guy alone! Vick sat in jail long enough, hes been punished enough, he deserves a second chance, now let him enjoy a full comeback to the NFL with all the benefits that brings.
Besides, isnt one of Vicks posse none other than the CEO of the Humane Society of the United States? Enough, already.
Im no fan of Vick, but Im trying to see things the way his fans do. And Im actually starting to like the hes done his time position. Because I can think of some others whove done their time and deserve a second chance: the dog lovers of Denver, Colorado...

A team would be much better off using him in the backfield. Though, I’d prefer to not see him in a uniform for any team.
And you did what? Nothing, is what you did. Since you did nothing shouldn't you STFU about what others didn't do?
People can be outraged by more than one scumbag's behavior at a time too.
No way to get around it, Vick is a POS.
You don’t know what ‘I’ did.
Have a nice day, animal lover.
I know what you didn’t do, a damn thing for the kids you referenced.
I don’t think animals should be abused by lowlifes like Vick; you have a problem with that?
Your post doesn’t even makes sense unless you want Vick to be in charge of retired people or to be a dog catcher.
However, both occupations are far beyond his level of intelligence and competence.
Yes, I helped that family.
But, once again, your outrage is at Vick for killing property.
Save that for actual abuses on people. Kids, and children.
‘I dont think animals should be abused by lowlifes like Vick; you have a problem with that?’
I think Vick or any property owner should be able to treat their property as would like.
We won’t see eye to eye. People like yourself have raised the idea of what a pet is to that of a family member or akin to that. I’m sorry you have done that.
And PETA is a collection of a$$-clowns; agreed.
I think you nailed it - the Humane Society shows they can be rationale; PETA continues to prove they are 100% into being PETA.
You repeatedly had your ass handed to you on that last thread concerning the legal definitions of property and apparently learned nothing.
Once it has been determined that a person is incapable of learning no further discussion other than to point out their foolishness occasionally is prudent.
Again, we won’t see eye to eye. Have a nice day, animal lover.
You too, lawbreaker.
I was the one who mentioned putting Dodd and Frank in prison and I stand behind that statement, which is not “dumb” as you state.
My thought about prosecuting lawbreakers is that they ALL should be prosecuted. But does ganging up on Vick take the pressure off of others who need to be publicly prosecuted?
I'm talking about crimes against America. Shouldn't those involved in crimes against America have precedence over someone who abused animals?
I don't condone animal abuse. I love animals. But the soul of mankind is judged by how man treats his fellow man first and foremost. We have criminals running around who did things that have harmed Americans who have seemingly been let off the hook of public outcry calling for prosecution.
Focus on an animal abusive NFL player has taken the heat off of Dodd and Frank at a time when they should have faced prosecution. If public opinion for crimes against Americans and corruption have less weight than prosectuting animal abuse, we have lost total focus on what is really important in the grand scheme of America.
