Jumping from one fire to the next.

At the absolute MINIMUM, Vick is clearly the "financer of the organization" as you say Rylan1. You really think his schmuck friends and cousins had the cash to run that place??? Just based on that, i think he deserves at least a 1 year suspension and really be banned.
He has signed $182 million just in pro contracts not counting god knows how much endorsement money. With all that, to be bankrolling the torture and killing of dogs for next to no money....you have to be a sick, twisted, disgusting piece of worthless scum! He was probably losing money on the operation but just loved it so much he had to keep doing it

He needs to go to prison and see what it's like to be "thrown to the wolves" like he has down to so many dogs

I don't think he would have a hard time in prison, except for maybe someone trying to extort for $ if anything- I think he may get suspended for this year and he'll show up for another team next year. Though his crime if convicted is bad- its not the worst thing and he'll play again. Pacman Jones if convicted is much more of a crime than Vick. I think he may go down for some charges but aquitted of the more serious ones. And as far as the money they say those fights he was involved in were upwards of $25-$50K which is alot of money I don't care if you are rich or not.

 

[sudc]

You're right, he would fit right in in prison. That's tells you all you need to know about him right there

If he gets a long enough sentence, odds are, he'll have his brother to keep him company eventually.
Also, as far as i've read, only 1 fight was for like 23-25k. All the rest were for 1-5k. Vick wipes his butt with that kind of money. Clearly, it was for the enjoyment of watching the dogs suffer, not for the money.
He'll be very lucky if he ever plays football again.

 

[sudc]

I see that he finally made a statement on the Porshe foxx??? show on some radio station. He rambled for a few minutes thanking people for the support and that he hopes it ends in a good outcome????
I notice at NO time did he say that he didn't do it or that he was innocent

He's GUILTY, the feds can prove it and he knows it! Bye, Bye Mike

Yeah it did....We in Atlanta might have heard the story a little longer then most, But it was still a flash the the pan..

Anyone see the news article involving the NAACP trying to offer legal support to Vick? They made him sound like HE'S the victim here.
Where was the NAACP's, "rev." Jesse's, or "rev." Sharpton's support when the white college couple was beaten, stabbed, raped and burned in Knoxville, TN?
To say that the NAACP is not trying to make this case a black/white issue, is ludicrous.
Reverse racism is becoming much more apparent and accepted. Why?

 

[vpotts28]

Al Sharpton and Russell Simmons have already came out and criticized him for animal abuse. Sharpton has a relationship with PETA.
And no, once again, the water bottle incident did not get swept under the rug. The Miami police had nothing to charge him with. If it was herb in the bottle it was an unmeasurable amount. What are they going to charge him with? A marijuana like odor? I didn't know that a manipulated bottle was a chargeable offense.

Reverse racism ?

The NAACP reason for making comments on the Michael Vick case is because of the rush to judgement in the case. All they were saying is that we need to hear the facts and let the case go to trial before we convict this guy through the media. The case in TN was a horrible thing that happened and I believe from the reports I heard it was not racial in nature, but simply just a brutal attack. I don't know for sure, but I do know that the people who did it were quickly caught and everyone white and black hope they get prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The NAACP is not making this a racial isssue and neither is R.Simmons or Sharpton - no one is condoning dog fighting - all that is being said is let the man have a fair trial.
There are many cases that these guys don't get involved in, I do admit they do have an agenda in many cases...but these guys are not the ambassodors (spelling) for black people...however their efforts do address many of the social injustices that occur day to day.

 

[sudc]

Yeah, those guys are real concerned with fair trials Rylan

Since when is Sharpton concerned with a fair trial??? He has people rioting practically(if not literally) any time a white person commits a crime against a black person. He really wanted a fair trial for tawanna brawley, right Rylan

What a joke. He's GUILTY FANBOY! DEAL WITH IT!

Anytime the NAACP gets involved with anything, it becomes racial. I'm for the National Association for the Advancement of All People.

Ok whatever

You are free to have whatever opinion you want, I'm not going to go there although I totally disagree with you and you don't know what you are talking about. No one is defending dogfighting. Sharpton has not come to the defense of Vick either, no one is saying he is innocent...you are so quick to say reverse racism and its not... all that has been said is give this guy a fair trial...let the case be decided in the court of law. That's it... Sharpton really has nothing to do with this case...this case has nothing to do with Duke so comparing the two is way off base.

 

[sudc]

You are right , NOONE is saying that he is innocent

That even includes Michael Vick himself

Does Vick not have is own lawyers to stand up for his rights? Or is he just not paying them enough?
Any chance that Sharpton or Jackson can get their face in the news media, they're gonna take it.

As I stated before, Sharpton and Jackson have not gotten invloved in the case...So am I missing something or where is all this coming from? So the mention of their name is simply because you have some negative bias to what they do and what the represent...you can feel that way but it doesn't have anything to do with this case or thread.
With your logic then I guess you can say shouldn't the prosecutors of this case be the only ones who are trying to find him guilty or presume he is guilty.

This is overkill, people are getting ridiculous with this stuff, the media is going overboard on this case. It would almost be better for Vick if he had shot somebody or something. Vick is getting all this attention which could be better spent on an issue that involves abuse of human beings.

 

[flcandy]

I hate that people do this and get away with it.
You know killing an animal is only a misdemeanor?
Its like a $5,000 fine and or 5 years in jail for each animal. He could pay his way out and never see a cell.
I am tired of famous people getting away with things normal people would get locked away and they book thrown at them for.
ARGH friggin stupid, makes me sick.
