"While he has a way of lightening even the most sensitive of
subjects, Jamie is sincere in his belief that the quarterback is not
being given a fair shake."“I know that cruelty to animals is bad,
but sometimes people shoot people and kill people and don’t get time” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody said that the justice system is flawless but why do apologists justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior? ===========================================
Jamie continued. “I think in this situation, he really didn’t know the
extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, Jamie. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Since he might not have been aware of the seriousness of the LEGAL consequences of his actions, it excuses the evil that he participated in and gives him a moral pass to torture animals.
Add Jamie Foxx to the ghetto trash list. I'll never watch another film with this fool again.

Disclaimer: Racism is sickening and its only being used as an example here. An example that is ridiculous as the one Jaime Foxx was quoted as saying above.

Whatever happened to TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for one's actions?
I saw Eric Michael Dyson on O'Reilly tonight. He was making similar arguments to Foxx. Talking about Black people being overlooked during Katrina. What in the HELL does that have to do with this? Apparently page one of the apologist's handbook is excuse bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior.
When I see the pictures of those abused dogs it makes my blood boil. NOBODY has a right to do that, let alone excuse it. I swear that I'm going to look into joining a group that is involved with friggin over these dogfighting scumbags. I've had enough.

#8 Posted: 8/25/2007 2:06:56 AM  Why do you guys get so worked up over an opinion? Jamie Foxx doesn't matter, Marbury doesn't matter, hell, I don't matter. The last time I checked "Freedom of Speech" was included in the Bill of Rights. Stop being such big crybabies. Vick is going to jail. No lawyer, no amount of money, no miracle from God is gonna save his behind now.  I'm not gonna go see anymore movies that have J. Foxx in them anymore, wahhhh!! I'm sure he's gonna lose a lot of sleep over that. Oh yeah, Don't remember anyone putting Mel Gibson on blast (not gonna see anymore of his movies) for his racist person comments. |

Mel has his issues and he was raked over the coals for it. Some people will never see another Gibson film again. That is their choice. Despite good reviews, his last film, Apocalypto didn't do that well making a modest 10 million dollar profit in theatre admissions. We assumed that Marbury was a moron but Foxx was a surprise to many. I was beginning to tire of him anyway as he has become quite full of himself recently but these comments were just absurd. The fact that Vick should be given a pass because he didn't know that dogfighting was a federal crime? So, if it wasn't, mauling and killing animals would be ok. darn Foxx, darn Vick, darn that scumbag DMX, and any other piece of garbage who is so insecure in his own manhood that he thinks fighting dogs makes him a man. Whatb is actually does is make him an ignorant piece of garbage .If I ever witnessed one of these events, believe me,I'd make sure that these fool would be running from the pit like the little girl that they are. Dogfighters are subhuman feces and so are their apologists. |

#12 Posted: 8/28/2007 7:54:42 AM Wow, isn't the race card getting a little old. To say someone should read the handbook to know they shouldn't be fighting and killing dogs is a little much don't you think. |

What is going on in Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with this crime.
Iraq is reported on every day and the entire country is concerned about it.
This is a story that has people up in arms because of their love for domestic animals and it was perpetrated by a high profile athlete..
The situation in Korea is heartbreaking. How these scumbags can treat dogs in this manner is beyond my comprehension. All most dogs want to do is love and care for their master and these Korean slime still consume them in this day and age. Unbelievable.

I agree with Chillery, we are too consumed with what other
people say or think when it does not effect us. Michael Vick
has to pay for his crimes, not anyone in the forum. Anasamas,
the rules that govern our country do not apply to other countries.
If you go out to dinner and order a steak, should a person from
India take offense and want you imprisoned??  |

#18 Posted: 8/28/2007 1:30:03 PM I think the average joe might not realize that dog fighting
was a serious federal crime but I do think Vick had to have known that it was against the law. But I think Foxx is correct only to the extent that I do not belive Vick thought he would ever get the book thrown at him.
He has always been privileged ,,, the book has always fallen short of being thrown at him. Unfortunately, not this time. That being said , I think the feds are using Vick
celebrity to make a big splash and that if this was some joe smoe, he wouldn't get this degree of punishment. Keep in mind, his punishment goes beyond serving time. He might not get his career back 100 million bucks ,,,, for the llife of
some halfwit in-bred frankenstein pit bull.
My punishment would be ,,,,,,, 6 months in prison, heavy fine,
community service towards prevention of cruelty to animals.
from the NFL ...... one year suspension, without pay.
After that, he should be free to restore his life and deal with
the ramifications in society for his actions. It is possible that no team would want to have PETA chasing them around
as they play their schedule in the NFL. or maybe nobody
wants to cheer for his team , so nobody would ever sign him. |

#19 Posted: 8/28/2007 2:08:14 PM as one Falcon said of Vick "He's not that smart"...I think that is an over statement of the obvious.. thats also why he's not a good qb...as for Jamie Foxx.........another retard heard from...they just dont know when to keep quiet.. |

#21 Posted: 8/28/2007 8:26:41 PM Here we go with the distraction argument again.
What is going on in Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with this crime.
Iraq is reported on every day and the entire country is concerned about it.
This is a story that has people up in arms because of their love for domestic animals and it was perpetrated by a high profile athlete..
You are concerned about thousands of young men and women losing there lives in a war based on a lie. But your outraged about dogfighting. Not saying dogfighting is ok but I believe the whole thing should be put into perspective. If those were your sons and daughters or brothers and sisters dying I wonder would you be as passionate about this dogfighting issue. I think there are bigger fish to fry. |

Your take on the war can be debated but there IS a purpose to it whether it be noble or foolish. We will not have that political debate here
My point was that injuring humans or animals for no reason other than your own enjoyment or profit is reprehensible.
