If Mike Vick had killed a man and got out and went on to doing something in the public eye, people would roundly praise his rehabilitation.

What has he done?

Do you think coming out against killing would have meant he was rehabilated?

“What has he done?

We have a system. In that system, you go to jail, you do whatever is prescribed in your parole, if parole is an option, and you are welcomed back to society. Debt paid.

Mike Vick did whatever he was required to do, by the system. In a free country, like this used to be, you’re free to regard Mike Vick however you see fit. For me, I see a man who did his time, and in my estimation a second chance is in order.

I laugh when I see freepers posting he shouldn’t be “allowed” to play football. He should have a working man’s job, janitorial, plumbing, etc. Really? That’s sort of a communist view of things. The state decides what you can and can’t do. In a free society, your debt is paid, you’re free to pursue any legal form of earning a living, barring jobs that don’t accept felons for security reasons. Being an NFL quarterback doesn’t require a security clearance, but it does require ability that very, very few have. To deny Mike Vick the ability to use his skills is the very opposite of a Free Republic.
