As well as linking a post that you originally wrote, or did you? Was this a copy and paste job. Or are you so upset your rant didn't get out, you've gone around posting anywhere Vick's name is mentioned? &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, what Vick has done has absolutely nothing to do with Ray Lewis, Leonard Little or anyone else. It's about the idiocy of an athlete that thought he was above the law. Untouchable, if you will. It's about a guy who ran and funded not only a dog fighting ring but an illegal gambling ring across state lines. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Your defense of him does nothing but illustrate your ignorance and lack of respect for the laws in this country.  As well as your obvious belief that Vick should not be held accountable for his actions. If, for no other reason, then the fact that he can run fast, throw far (though wide), and is black. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I almost feel sorry for you. Believing that athletes deserve a break because they can "do something with their money." The point you seem to miss is that Vick's money was being spent on dogs, and illegal gambling among other things. Vick flushed his talent down the drain and he deserves exactly whatever sentence he gets. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And if you think I feel this way because Vick's black, that's your bigoted view of the world and no one can help you. Vick's not being picked on. You probably think we wouldn't feel the same if Tom Brady or Peyton Manning had done what Vick has, right? Again, your the bigot, not me.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/5315674191469156596/comments/default/8576520063075561600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/5315674191469156596/comments/default/8576520063075561600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/08/throwing-knives-vick-story-almost-over.html?showComment=1187752440000#c8576520063075561600' title=''/><author><name>BD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15619683726950250604</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/08/throwing-knives-vick-story-almost-over.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-5315674191469156596' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/5315674191469156596' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-1712551871057217183</id><published>2007-08-21T20:20:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-08-21T20:20:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>It takes a certain type of person to kill an anima...</title><content type='html'>It takes a certain type of person to kill an animal like that.

PETA, PETA, PETA - puppy dogs, rainbows and unicorns…&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Michael Vick didn’t kill a human; they were f@cking dogs - case closed. There have been countless examples of athletes responsible for deaths - Ray Lewis barely avoided murder charges - let alone drunk driving or worse (let’s not even discuss child support).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now, it has been a long time since junior high but when last I checked, not only were dogs domesticated animals (that fall much lower on the food chain than humans) but we have killed domesticated animals for much lesser crimes. The ASPCA kills tens of thousands of domesticated animals on a weekly basis. Also, when in the hell did PETA become a lobby group in charge of upholding federal policy?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Don’t get me wrong - Pamela Anderson has great tits, but she needs to shut the f@ck up and just sit there and look pretty. Doesn’t she still have hepatitis or AIDS or something she caught from Kid Rock? Go get therapy bitch, and leave Michael Vick alone.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I agree that killing animals for random reasons is cruel; but fine him. Community Service. Any other mundane nonsense that we normally throw at bullsh!t crimes is the categorical reprimand this deserves.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;He was making $100M. Can you imagine the good he would have been able to do in the furthering of animals’ rights with his fame and money? Am I on crazy pills or am I the only one who sees this as another step in the wussification of the public perception of justice? Michael Vick should be free - fine him, spank him, cane him, WHATEVER - but jail? WTF! Anyone who thinks this is enough to completely ruin a man’s life, is bat shit insane and should be spayed and neutered because they shouldn’t taint the gene pool.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Michael Vick’s contribution to the game of football is enormously more valuable than the lives of 10,000 dogs and 72 kittens.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have spoken.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;http://coedmagazine.com/sports/1986</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/5315674191469156596/comments/default/4108879692006832501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/5315674191469156596/comments/default/4108879692006832501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/08/throwing-knives-vick-story-almost-over.html?showComment=1187733660000#c4108879692006832501' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/08/throwing-knives-vick-story-almost-over.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-5315674191469156596' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/5315674191469156596' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
