I think its very interesting to see the amount of people who will never forgive Michael Vick. I completely agree with those people who say his crime was violent, inhumane and disgustingly gruesome, because it truly was. But I cannot comprehend why people are unwilling to give this man a second chance. He has spent over 1 year in jail, which the judge deemed to be a reasonable and fair punishment.
People make mistakes, some are much worse than others. But people can learn from there mistakes, and make changes in their life.
Yes, this was a crime, but it was a crime against dogs, and I love dogs but like someone else said, these were not your puppies you've got at home. They may not have been cold-blooded killer dogs either but they were vicious dogs. Let's also not forget that dogfighting is more popular in the south than you think. Clinton Portis even made a comment saying, and I am paraphrasing but he said, "Its not that big a deal, it happens alot where Im from, Ive been to dogfights." No one seems to ever bring that up when talking about Vick, even though after he made that statement, Portis got ripped by everyone on TV.
So why is it that Michael Vick gets pegged as the one and only Piece of Scum that got a dogfighting ring together and murdered dogs. I will say it again, so people do not think I am ok with what he did, but dogfighting and murdering the dogs was wrong. But there are much worse things done.
Donte Stallworth got a DUI and killed a man. That man had a family who now have to live without their father and husband. Stallworth faces jailtime yet he has not gotten even a tenth of the scrutiny Michael Vick got.
It shocks me to see that so many people cared about these dogs being murdered, compared to the fact that hardly anyone seems to care about abortion. People say that Vick killed "man's best friend." Well millions of babies have their lives taken away before they even have a chance at life. Why does no one care about that? And if you don't think abortion is murder because the baby is not techniquely born yet, then you don't know anything about abortions but I will spare you the details.
What does this say about Americans? We care more about dogs lives than actually human beings? Do people not care about Stallworth because getting a DUI is more common than dogfighting? Do people not care about Stallworth's case because lots of people drink and drive and they can relate?
I just dont understand how people can hold such a grudge on a man, when he didn't do anything to you. He murdered dogs, but he didnt murder your dog. People have no connection to these dogs except the fact they like dogs in general. And no one says a peep about how the babies are defenseless when they are murdered.
Give the man a second chance, he did some pretty horrific things, but he's human. Everyone reading this has probably made some poor choices in their life, or has done something they knew was wrong but did it anyway because there was a small chance of being caught. I guess however if you are perfect, than you can hate and never forgive him. But then again, if you can't forgive someone, then you are not perfect are you?
I could say more, but I know not everyone shares the same religious views so I won't say any more, I think Ive made my point.
( I don't expect you to get that, but its true)
lol, but I understand everything I say or I would not say it but.
