Mike Vick should go to prison!
I find the actions of Michael Vick not only criminal but heartbreaking. I love foot ball but I will not support this man in any way including watching him play football. He is a killer and should be put in prison.
Thank You
And people worship these scumbag thugs!!!
And you all are suprised???? It never ceases to amaze me how naive lilly white america is. If you only knew. Wake up and realize that marketing of personalities for public perception is just that, a nice spin to sell and make money. Just because a guy can play a particular sport well or a actor gets picked for the next big blockbuster does not make them good wholesome citizens.
Get a clue.
He is a disgusting piece of trash. How anybody could kill innocent puppies or even adult dogs is beyond me. He should be slammed on the ground, from the top of the Eiffel tower.
thank you so much for illuminating us lilly white Americans to the charade of celebrity culture, what would we do without your beacon of light to 'edumacate' us all?
You tosser
You should get dropped off the tower too! JERK
Michael Vick lied to the head of the NFL. The proof is in hand that he did so. He made false statements to the press. Since garnering such a high slary for his athletic abilities he has shown very little self control, and less than good judgement. The last game he played in an Atlanta uniform is likely his last game in the NFL. And the fault lies solely with him, as he knew his dog fighting was suspect and continued anyway.
They should make him crouch in a filthy kennel for 6 years in jail and eat scraps of food off the floor - what a disgusting pig!
He's innocent until proven guilty, folks; an indictment only means the case can move on. It's not a conviction. Yes, the story is compelling, and it certainly looks like he might be guilty, but the commentary so far in this thread sounds like, well, a bunch of snarling pit bulls. And I'm sure you are all perfect, by the way. . . you're certainly not as bad as Michael Vick has not yet been proven to be, right? So, keep feeling good about yourself while you tear down others, especially if it seems like they deserve to be torn down. What do YOU deserve?
talks down on Mr. Vick, one will be labeled a racist. One should not talk down on colored people.
Lets see, wealthy beyond most people's imagination, with an almost unlimited potential to be a great role model and do something purposeful that could significantly impact the world in a positive way. However, chooses to follow this path instead. What a worthless p.o.s.
everybody has a hobby
If the story's true - killing dogs is a far cry from 'not being perfect'. Not perfect is an occasional gossip, rolling through a stop sign, or burning dinner - being a murderer (whether it be of people or animals) is a TAD worse than 'not perfect'.
IF ONE- oh thats right, I forgot we're supposed to give colored people special treatment.
lkjlk- you're a retard.
I cant speak for anyone else here, but I am certainly better than that piece of trash. This isn't breaking news either Tim. Lots of people have known about the investigations into this for some time. He doesn't need to go to a courthouse to be proven guilty, hes already been caught. If you walked in on your wife sleeping with your neighbor, would you have to bring it to court for her to be proven guilty?
As a pit bull owner, I am saddened by yet another blow to this beautiful breed's image. These dogs, despite what our 'media' has tried to tell us, are considered one of the most gentle of all, especially to humans.
Agression is TRAINED into these dogs, by mindless, cruel, indecent cretins like Mr. Vick and his posse of idiots.
How a human being can take the life of an intelligent animal is beyond me.
Our pit sleeps with our cats, and plays with children with NO agression. This is a MYTH.
The problem lies in the fact that these dogs are strong, and they don't give up when pushed to the brink.
Our dog has never started a fight at the dog park, it's always another dog ATTACKING our dog, with a typically unbalanced owner running behind, screaming at OUR dog!
Anyway folks, please let this incident show that people are the weak link, not dogs.
Michael Vick is an idiot, as we can easily see by the way he attempts to play football. Even with his blessed talent physically, he doesn't have a chance as a quarterback because of his horrible decision making on the field.
Well, now we have evidence that he also has the same level of decision making OFF the field.
On top of it all, he LIED about all of this. Like he didn't know there were 55 dogs on his property!
Rot in hell
I can't believe the idiot actually put on dog fights. I agree that pit bulls are a very gentle breed, my best friend has a beautiful female pit puppy and she is the sweetest puppy. Michael Vick SHOULD go to prison, or maybe someone should slam him on the ground, or many of the other things that he (and his idiotic friends) did to the poor dogs. As for the comment about people talking down to a 'Colored' person, grow up, this isn't 1956 anymore, he is just as much at fault as any other person from any other race that would be dumb enough to pull this shit.
How about killing innocent calves, bulls, and cows for meat? Arn't all animals same? Stop killing anything!
How about killing innocent calves, bulls, and cows for meat? Aren't all animals same? Stop killing anything!
Prison is not good enough. People who get enjoyment out of the suffering of others should suffer themselves. Vick and his co-horts have proven they are not decent enough to live with the rest of human society nor should they be allowed anywhere near animals. He's a victimizer. For those who think he's only into dog fighting, and that isn't worthy of your wrath, I'm sure other violence turns him on as well. It's a pattern. Ask any serial killer.
ANYONE who takes part in cruel acts such as these, deserves to receive that which they doled out. These people are not people, they are not human, they are not worthy of sharing the same planet.
Michael Vick and his pals are lower than the feces left by the dogs they tortured.
To: If one: This isn't about 'colored,' you idiot. Jeez, talk about making everything about race. This is about human beings out of control. Or should we even call someone that has no respect for the dignity of life a human being. I hope he fries in Hell.
If this man is indeed guilty of this horrific crime he deserves to be treated like a common criminal and someone who is completely bereft of common decency. The fact that anyone could do something like this to helpless animals is so unthinkable it is almost too much to wrap your head around. In addition, the press, by publishing just exactly was was done to the poor defenseless animals just adds fuel to the fire of some really potentially misguided wretches out there who are only too willing to follow in Wick's footsteps. It is time we stopped making ball players into gods - they are only too human (or sub-human) as this proves.
The NFL is filled with people that support Michael Vick and the exact same type of ghetto mentality that breeds the immorality so prevalent in the inner city, so is it any wonder that he or those like him think that murder and cruelty are acceptable? No, it is not. The simple fact is that Michael Vick is scum. People who support him are scum, and furthermore, people who support any behavior that devalues life are scum.... is the point getting through? I doubt it.
in this particular story, race is most definitely a coloring factor pun intended. The dog fighting craze is rampant in the ghetto, gang culture and poor southern towns, whereas poor whites are known for puppy mill breeding offenses, poor blacks are known for fighting dogs for money. Which begs the question- why would an ostensibly educated rich athlete mix with this black trash?
It is time for all this to stop, he deserves worse mistreatment, where can sign a petition to get him fired, will Not buy any product he has endorsed
Mike Vick should have a gang of pit bulls attack his herpes infested ass. He can't hide behind the fake name of 'Ron Mexico' PETA and myself will destroy him and his THUG LIFESTYLE, I hope he dies!
Vick is no different than his juvenile brother who thinks stomping on someone already down during a football game is appropriate. This story sounds really bad. Anyone involved with torture and death of animals does not appreciate life in any form and deserves the maximum time the crime gets. The 'thug life' culture needs to be 'put to sleep.' Don't go away mad, just go away.
The fighting, maiming, torturing, and vicious killing of animals is a heinous crime and the laws governing penalty are a ridiculous joke. Animal cruelty is perpetuated by those lax laws and the people who refuse to treat animals as feeling creatures.
Worse still, is the end result of the proven LINK* between animal cruelty and child abuse. Today it is the animal; who will be the next target?
If this person is found guilty of animal cruelty and dog fighting, I hope he and the other people involved, get both the maximum sentence allowed under the law, and the help they so desperately need to break the cycle of abuse.
*More information on the LINK between animal and child abuse can be found at www.americanhumane.org
This is a person who should be committed. Better yet, put him in one of those dog pens, douse him with blood and urine, tie to a chair and turn the pits loose on him. Oh, by the say, make sure he is naked. He doesn't have any manhood to miss anyway.
I want the TV stations to know that I will be contacting all business who sponsor a Falcon's game while this sicko is still playing, I will not under any circumstances purchase any of their products. One of the best ways to get through to these idiots is through their pocketbook.
Should anyone be surprised by these claims, they are in desperate need of a wake up call. In the end, I predict the full exposure of Michael Vick's criminal activity will go far beyond his role in dog fighting. The sad news, Vick is only the tip of the permissive iceberg we call pro atheletes. I agree with the posting that he should be caged and forced to eat from the floor...give him a taste of how he treated those helpless animals.
Don't kill any innocent plants. They love their children like us. The only ethical course of action os to starve yourself to death.
Vick deserves a special place in Hell for his inhumanity!!!
Isn't that special. Nike is going to continue supporting Dead Dog Vick. Gonna go and put his shoes up for sale. Nike and their shoes should be put in the same graves they put those tortured, dead dogs.
After Mad Dog Vick is found guilty, send him to prison. Put him in the main population. Heartell prisoners get very upset about people who abuse seniors, kids, babies and pets. Then tell me which top dog you will bet on then.
Code of conduct - garbage. In place when convenient. Blank - useless as tits on a boar hog. Falcon sponsors - out the door. No one should buy any product from any company that sponsors the Falcons.
Vick needs jail time, a huge fine, community service and mental health care. I will boycott any product he endorses. Dogs are a wonderful source of love and companionship for many people, especially those who are home-bound. I don't understand how some people exist without a Conscience. Vick maybe monetarily wealthy but he is also morally bankrupt!
i have 5 dogs and wouldnt think about it at all he should be ashamed of himself and he must not be a man because he would have not done it and just had a couple dogs in house as pets but hes not a man so lets hope the cruelty stops with not just him but others out there too also that find is nothing i think he should be punished more
Disgusting...and these are supposed to be 'civilized' humans??? What could they do to other humans??? They are a danger to society. Lock them up and throw away the key. NFL wont do anything to him. Look at PacMan. They will just slap him on the wrist. I am so sick of these millionare thugs and those who back them. BOYCOTT the NFL!!!
Another day in life of Michael Vick and his killing field. It is time to bring pressure on the sponsors of any Falcon supporter. We need to be reminded that every dollar we put in their pocket, for their products, goes to gutless Blank who pays this miserable excuse for a human being, who takes his money to buy the dogs who ended up in Michael Vick's killing field. I want to see the name of every person who participated in this slaughter plastered all over the news. I want to hear how they are going to explain to their children how they went and had fun with that famous football player as they watched the dogs tear each other apart, how they were electrocuted, how they were drowned, how they were shot, how they were torn apart. I wanted to see retribution against every miserable excuse for a human being exacted 10 fold.
Is not just football ,baseball,basketball--the problem is the hip-hop ganster society that young black embrace--if it doesn't change it will meen another generation of black kids where 60% of babies are born as basterds,and 44% serve time in prison at some time in their lives--Wake up Al Sharpton!!
Michael vick is guilty, it was on his land, hes a sick scum ball, and i would shit on his corpse, burn it, then piss on the ashes
People that treat and raise pit bulls in this manner are the ones that have ruined it for the people that love these loyal dogs, and raise them right. They are banned and illegal all over the country because people are greedy and ignorant. As for Michael Vick, my sons play football and love the sport, and they loved Michael Vick as well. It's very sad that he has made such a poor decision, not realizing how many children look up to him. But it is a lesson well taught to both my boys, people are not always what they seem. He had a good thing going with the Falcon's and is a great player, it's to bad. Even if he is found innocent, his name will never be the same.
I will not support any organization that condones and is represented by anyone practicing animal cruelty. Michael Vick is not my idea of a hero or role model or someone who deserves my hard earned money. This is the worst kind of lowlife anyone can imagine.
NFL, Atlanta Falcons wise up, clean up your act, get rid of trash like this !
What a dispictable human being. Did I say human being? He should be treated like a dog and be the one that should be on death row at the local animal shelter...
Tim, you are an idiot!!
It was announced yesterday afternoon that Emmet Smith, former Cowboy, feel that poor MadDogMike is being Picked On because he is such a good ball player and because he is so popular, etc etc. Mr. Smith apparently condones this behaviour and any a famous ball player does is ok as long as it doesn't get caught. Or because he is famous that the behaviour should be overlook. Mr. Smith, if in fact, this miserable excuse of a human is indeed found guilty, you just might find yourself in the same spot as he is. This is not a race issue, which you have insinuated, it is an issue of a supposed human being participating in one of the uglies, cruelest forms of 'entertainment' there is. Well Mr. Smith a lot of people are going to go out with the dirty dish water. Are you going to be one of them?
Well, what an interesting report on the news yesterday evening. Hear ye, Hear ye, apparently a cousin?? is going to take the dive for this miserable excuse of a human being. How much is he going to pay the person who takes the dive for him? No only a dog killer, now he is willing and able to give the shaft to a member of his own family. This is a spawn from hell. The fact that they could possibly place this thing on probation scares me almost as much as what he has done/allowed to happen to animals that could fight back. They just died for his amusement.
Hi master im so happy to see you. See my tail? It wagging. Why are you forcing me near that other dog master? Im happy to see her too. No master I dont want to fight her, she is my new friend. Im happy master. Please dont make me fight my new friend. Why are you mad at me master? What did I do wrong? I just dont understand. Its time for a bath now master? Well ok. I dont really want to take a bath but you are wetting me down so I will obey you. What is that devise master? Is that some type of special blow dryer? *Buzzzzzzzzz crack pop crack pop*
I support it was inevitable, there just had a to a good reason why Mike Vick turned into the poor excuse of a human being that he is. Let's see, Deon Sanders just said, it is his background, his environment, he's black. And this stinks. Being from a poor background, a less than enviable background, that he is famous, that he makes a lot of money and that he is black entitles him to do this horrendous thing and then expect to get away with it. Poor Mike. How many black people in this country, who are in far less favorable circumstances than he is has never found it necessary to conduct dog fights, to enjoy the killing of the losers, expect his cousin to take his dive for him and have two fellow athletes come to his rescuse with the explainaton that the 'feds' are picking on him because he is black. The time has come when this just isn't going to cut it anymore. We got white people stealing to keep from starving and going to jail for it. And this pig expects to walk away from this? Poor Mike
This man makes me sick. I wish that someone would make him fight in a little ring until he killed another man. Then maybe he would see how sick this is. The worst part is that he has enough money to buy his innocence, even though he is guilty. People like this make me sick and i would love to tell him that to his face. If ANYONE thinks that animal abuse is acceptable, they should be put in jail and made to work their butts off everyday cleaning up dog crap. Maybe then they would realize that they are no better then the pile of feces on the ground staring up at them.
why do animals have to suffer because of stupid people.what did animals do to you to deserve this.who gives you the right to abuse and murder...
i am so pissed off right now i cant even see straight..
TIM most people when compared to Vick would be considered perfect, something has to be really wrong with a person to kill a puppy or fully grown dog with your own two hands. Yes, Vick is innocent till proven guilty, but so far the evidence agianst him is not leaning in his favor. I hope he gets kicked out of the NFL and goes to Prison for a long time.
Animal lover you are acting like Michael Vick is some type of minority and your Hitler. I hope that makes you feel good about yourself. Your acting like a dictator who wants to kill everyone who is different. How would you feel if Hitler said to you 'I dont like you so your going to be tortured' yeah i didn't think you would like that. So chill out before carma gets your behind.
