OK.....hate to just jump in blind here but...wtf ???
There is NO comparison between domestic violence/child abuse and dogfighting...I don't care HOW much you love animals.....or how MANY animals you abuse......to even suggest that one act of domestic violence is even comparable anything else is to demean a human life. THAT is the problem with our justice system today....an athelete or celebrity can get away with beating or killing his wife or child but heaven forbid he kiill his dog! WHAT ARE WE THINKING????? Wake up people! Vick will be back in the NFL no matter what...he is worth too much to too many people, but it would be quicker and easier, ala OJ if he had just off'd his wife....you know a misunderstanding.....got out of control....any guy could understand that right??? Eff that shit! Makes me ill....he'll do more time for killing dogs than he would for killing a person.....so not right....should do time for either but still.....you KNOW it has been less for people that committed murder....
agreed. i hope you didnt think i was trying to compare dogfighting to abuse of women and children. i was making the same point you were about how disgusting it is that noone cares about beating females. well unless its a female dog. its pretty disgusting that our society puts more worth on throwing a ball or making great music then we do on being a decent human being that dosent beat people. even if vick dosent get to play football again he can probably release a couple of gangsta rap albums from prison and make millions. its disgusting what type of people pass as heros and role models in america. and it seems to me also that americans popular opinion puts more worth on the life of a dog then on a human being. i think alot of it has to do with the fact that a woman can walk away from an abusive relationship. a dog has no options. but that dosent make a whole lot of sense to me. if you beat a woman the public should say as a whole we will not support this. whether or not the woman leaves them is up to her. it dosent change the fact that the person beating her is a worthless piece of nuts that should be supported by no one. if everyone refused to purchase james browns music, or oj simpsons jerseys or mike tyson pay per views maybe these abusers and the corporations that make millions off of them would start getting rid of these horrible people. but as long as we continue to support them it will continue. i guess its good the popular opinions of americans drew the line somewhere. i just think its pretty sad that they draw the line at abusing dogs while abusing humans seems to be accepted. wheteher its celebrities beatign their wives or hundereds of thousands being killed in illegal oil wars. but the american popular society manages to disgust me on a daily basis so its really nothing new. maybe if more was done about domestic violence both in the legal system and in public opinion nicole brown and ron goldman would still be alive and oj would be broke and homeless. instead hes golfing and writing books about how he murdered 2 people. and domestic violence comes up all the time with roided out athletes, musicians, elected officals, policemen. and no one says much of anything. no protests in the street or threats to keep them from ever working again, they dont even lose their current jobs no matter how important the job. when i found out james brown had passed i was sad id never seen him. but then i watched the story of his life and im glad i didnt pay any money to him. id rather see mule or deeep banana blackout and pfunk do his stuff anyhow.

So, he didn't bet on the dog fights, he just paid for it and liked to watch dogs get killed? I find it very hard to believe he put out all this money, just to watch and not bet. It's funny that in the eyes of the NFL gamblling is a much bigger deal than slaughtering dogs.

Yes, because gambling involves $$$$, which is all the NFL (or any other big corporate machine) is interested in. Gambling hurts their bottom line AND their reputation (gambling on dogs = $$ NOT gambled on NFL games in their pea brains). Murder of any living thing is easily rationalized and quickly forgotten....it's a small blip on a big screen and easy to spin to a guillable public. Sure it would be an outrage for a short time, but memories are short and everyone has a price so they reason.....throw some money and free ad time on Monday nights to PETA and it's all better....

So..... He bought a multi-million dollar piece of property so that he could build the "proper" dog-fighting facilities. Then he paid for the numerous treadmills, cages, food, etc.... Then he repeatedly hosted scores of guests who attended the events. Then he took part in/allowed the systematic euthanasiationization and burial of the animals.
But it wasn't for the money! It was for the love of the "sport" alone!
If true... THAT JUST MAKES HIM SO MUCH MORE SICK & TWISTED THAN I HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT! (when that's your defense, you don't have a leg to stand on)
lol. i just saw vick say that becasue of this whole ordeal hes found jesus and is turning his life over to god. what a f**king dipshit. i hope he gets 15 years and on the last day of his sentence he is brutally raped and put of his misery. i know ive got some karma coming to me for wishing that but its worth it. he even apologized for lying. but still stands by his statements about not gambling. what a joke.
