Good news about Michael Vick

[DarkLion]

Prison is too soft a punishment.

But don't worry... soon he'll be sent here:

His career should be over and he should broke and in prison. Fuck him

 

[Pogo]

Fuck Mike Vick. Bastard should still be in prison

Prison is too soft a punishment.

But don't worry... soon he'll be sent here:

OS, why do I get the impression you're a Redskins fan?
I don't know, just a wild guess. But it does explain why you're bent on revenge

Have you heard of Brian Orakpo? He's your best shot at what I highlighted

For those of you who came in late... I suspect this might be the basis of OldSchool's ire:

Again, just a guess.

Don't despair, it could be worse. You could be the New York Jints.

Damn you pogo!!!

I vividly remember exactly where I was that night. Out having a wonderful evening at a Dogfish Head Brewery restaurant in Chantilly, VA. At the time I'd been disgusted with my team for 20+ years (a few years short of MY ENTIRE LIFE).

And then that happened

But yea you're right. Better than being a Jets fan

Prolly that too, but I meant Giants (pronounced in one syllable: "Jints"). In other words it could have been this:

I like the last play the best. DeSean Jackson is a beast.

Good for him. The whole idiocy with that sentencing is incredible.

So getting dogs to kill each other for sport is ok in your book?

That's not OK in anybody's book. But the fact is, Vick did the crime and he did the time, yet some are so vindictive about this they just cannot and will not get over it, even though he's already paid the price.

At what point is enough enough? If doing prison time isn't punishment, then what's the point of doing time at all?

I'm lost as to why the OP describes Vick getting thunderous applause as "bad news". Especially after his chances of being the starting QB was called "good news".

He was into some seriously cruel shit. That's hard for people to forget.

And impossible to forgive.

Pogo, I usually agree and/or respect your pov but not on this one. He tortured dogs for fun and profit and would still be doing it if he had not been caught. He stated that it was just another part of the traditions he grew up with and saw nothing wrong with it.

I won't be surprised when if it turns out that he did what other dog/chicken fighters have done - go deeper underground.

 

[DarkLion]

Agreed. Vick is a disgusting human being and should still be in prison. No way should he be making millions in the NFL.

It IS a part of the culture he grew up with, and that should be our starting point -- that there is such a culture at all. Hating on Vick is fine, but he's one guy, he's not the whole culture.

Secondarily I really don't think any of us can see inside the head of another person and declare that their values have or have not changed. You're probably right that only his arrest stopped the activity, but it did, and he was sentenced, and he did do the time, so where do we stop? What else does he have to do? Unless we take the position that rehabilitation and correction of behavior is impossible, and therefore all criminals should be just taken out and shot as unrehabilitatable by definition.

It's a bit like the gun violence issue. Sure, the act he participated in (or the mass gun murderer participated in) is reprehensible, loathsome and absolutely unacceptable. But centering on one guy while the culture merrily goes on without him doesn't solve anything.

Here he is laying on his favorite place...

... the ground

What was the flag for? Crying on the field?

My pitbulls approve.

Same reason they wish death on Zimmerman, cause they are sick people.
