"Michael is a father, he's a son, he's a human being — people oftentimes forget that," he said, adding that Vick is "very remorseful."
(defense attorney, James D. "Butch" Williams Jr.)
"The July 17 indictment said dogs that lost fights or fared poorly in test fights were sometimes executed by hanging, electrocution or other brutal means."
Michael fared poorly in being a human being and lost this fight...tables turned...what to do, what to do...

these are just the federal charges. And does it really surprise you that he's getting off so lightly with the bozos running around the White House and Capitol Hill? There still could be state charges from what I've heard.buffettbride wrote:VA punishes marijuana posession as a misdemeanor and they turn a cheek to an NFL player drowning dogs.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar

Sorry prostitution doesn't get put ahead of dogfighting (She's CHOOSING to do that). Neither do some violent crimes. These poor animals had no choice. They didn't ask to born and certainly didn't ask for the horrendous life they led. I'd take a dog over most humans any day of the week, so this is a touchy subject with me.drunkpirate66 wrote:so perhaps now all the professional athletes caught with illegal drugs like cocaine and marijauna (enough to be tried on intent to sell . . .) and those caught with prostitutes (outside of legal areas) as well as those caught with illegal firearms and are, more than once, around violent crime (Sabastian Telfair) will go to jail or at the very least lose their multi million dollar contracts . . . I put the aforementioned well above dog fighting in terms of disgraceful activity that should not be rewarded.

Don't forget that anything over 10 mph over the speed limit is automatically wreckless driving too!

after numerous years in the United States military I have seen numerous cases of human traffic. I can assure you that a very large percentage of these women (and boys) are not choosing anything. Neither are many of the minors on the streets of Vegas and other areas where prostitution prominent. Putting cruelty to animals ahead forced rape and enslavement for profit is so bizzare I cannot even begin to comprehend it. Perhaps you were uninformed.carey24 wrote:Sorry prostitution doesn't get put ahead of dogfighting (She's CHOOSING to do that). Neither do some violent crimes. These poor animals had no choice.

Some peoples priorities leave me dumbfounded sometimes. I don't think Vick got any special treatment over what another person would receive. Prosecuters take a risk going to trial. (OJ was a slam dunk remember) They got the guilty he will serve time. His career is ruined and reputation destroyed. I am not condoning anything he has done, in fact his actions sicken me, but there are a lot more criminals out there that are a greater threat to society that can use the cell space. Locking this guy up doesn't change anything. Perhaps society shunning him and refusing to buy his products or support his future endevers would be more effective, but that won't happen. When he returns to football - yes it will happen, his jersey will be one of the top 3 sellers for the season.
Rub yours on me and I'll rub mine on you

umm... I hate to tell you this, but Las Vegas is in Clark County, Nev. and prostitution of any kind is illegal within the county borders. The legalized prostitution you hear about is in brothels over the county line in places like Parump, etc.drunkpirate66 wrote:after numerous years in the United States military I have seen numerous cases of human traffic.

thanks for the info but I don't care to know about stuff like that . . . and if I claimed to I apologize . . . If you reread my post I was saying, simply, that sports figures should be held as accountable if not more for acts I find worse then animal abuse like being caught with numerous prostitutes (legal or not -) where some of have been proven minors who have, along with adults (men, women, boys and girls), been forced into the trade for whatever reason . . . the semantics of the legally of prostitution in terms of where and how are subjects of little interest to me.Workin' the Room wrote:umm...

Drugs and violent crimes (Telfair and Iverson to name two of many) are other acts worse then dog fighting . . . my opinion . . .

I'm not sure. Supposedly the investigation started out on the state level, but they turned it over to the feds. Maybe somehow that gives the feds control over the charges? I really don't know, I just saw that somewhere....CaptainP wrote:Can they do that?

I too heard about that aspect of the plea bargain. I think the feds would have to work with the state and get the state immunity written into the plea deal. I don't think thay can force the state not to go ahead with the charges.SharkOnLand wrote:I'm not sure.

Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

I haven't followed the case very closely, I'm really not interested in another spoiled, rich dirtbag with a sense of entitlement, but maybe part of the deal was he'd cop a plea to the federal charges in return for the state charges being dropped. And if he goes to jail, I think (but I'm not 100% sure) there's no parole in the federal prison system so he has to serve the full sentence.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here
