I'm sorry......but I gotta bring up the Michael Vick thing again.

But, Ray Lewis?

To be honest, I never familiarized myself with the particulars of the Ray Lewis case. What I know is he was involved in a fight in which two men were stabbed to death. That is obviously some pretty serious stuff, but in my opinion I think someone can come back from that, maybe not welcomed into the public eye, but I think they can be rehabilitated and try to lead a semi-normal life after that. But only if it was a brawl or self-defense type ordeal. If Ray Lewis had done a burglary in a home and stabbed two people, then no, I would not think he should be welcomed back in any capacity.

Thanks for bringing this up. Very timely. I bet this will kick off a groundswell of public support and inspire change.

You are a true hero.

What % of NFL and NBA players are not from the ghetto / ghetto culture of no fathers, drugs, crime, etc.? It's a sad situation. Maybe MV can make some kind of positive contribution to society somehow.

I hear you, but I think his situation goes WAY beyond that. I have friends who as children were products of drug-infested households, domestic violence, etc, but they're not out there torturing and mutilating animals for fun. I feel like you have to have something seriously wrong with the wiring in your brain to do something like that. The kind of condition where you would not necessarily want this individual integrating back into the general public.

He's trash, never graduated and is being inducted into the VIrginia Tech hall of fame this fall. Pathetic! He did his time and paid for his crimes but HOF?

If we see a child who tortures animals, we use that as an early flag that they are displaying future serial killer behavior. Why is Michael Vick not held to those same standards? Because he's a celebrity? Because he did it to an animal and not a human child?

This paragraph of yours makes no sense. Your second sentence talks about being held to standards referencing the first sentence, but there were no standards stated in the first sentence.

Also, where did you get the idea of the first sentence from? Torturing animals as a child is not used as an early flag for future serial killer behavior. You've been watching to many tv shows and movies.

Lots of people do horrible things to animals and recieve no punishment or consequences. Have you ever killed a bug/fly/cockroach/mosquito/ant or put out poison for rats and mice? Have you ever flushed chemicals down the drain? The list of probable grievances is long.

Michael Vick has served his time and paid for his PAST mistake. It is now history! There are far more important things in this world to be concerned about. Haven't you ever heard of #45? Let's be concerned!!!! *sighs*

Lol, you serious? Have I ever squashed a mosquito that bit me? Yep. Have I ever taken a dogs head and held it underwater until it drowned? Nope, can't say that I have. But I'm glad to know you think that's a reasonable comparison.

Despite the retarded nature of your post, I do agree that we have far bigger things to worry about as a human race. This just crossed my mind as I turned on the tv this morning and saw Michael Vick.

Another false presumption.

Don't worry, they will soon have OJ to add to the commentators.

You're clearly racist. I blame the police and statues.

Very true! Just because one grows up disadvantaged doesn't excuse or result in being an animal torturer.

LOL, serious? Michael Jackson's weird behaviours with kids are at least 100X worse than Vick and he is loved the world over.

If you care this much about Michael Vick you should have been calling for MJs head when he was alive. You're a HYPOCRITE. So please, be quiet, it's unbecoming.

What the narrow minded snowflakes who hate Mike Vick don't realize is that they participate in harming animals everyday. What did you eat for dinner? Was it meat? Then you have assisted in killing an oh so innocent animal. But oh that doesn't count in your snowflake mind does it? Because you're willfully ignorant. As an aide, Vick has acted very admirably since his arrest and has donated plenty of his time and money towards helping animals and humans. I will say without doubt that Vick is a better human being than the narrow minded OP.

You're a moron. Michael Jackson was never convicted of anything. He was never even tried in a criminal case. And the real criminals were those parents who allowed their children to live with the guy in the first place.

And talking about a convicted dog killer/torturer and not condemning an accused child molester does not make one a hypocrite.

In other news, Kaep has been blackballed from the league for unforgiveable non-violent actions intended to protest violence.

This poster is a copraphage. He eats his own **** and is thereby absolved of all sin. He and only he can judge Mike Vick.
