DreReed83 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 In what way has he paid his due? So what. He lost his millions of dollars, and now he's getting it all back. If an average person was arrested for all the charges he was dealt, there's no way we'd be making the kind of money he's making right now. It wasn't even the fact that he just killed dogs. It's HOW he did it. Strangling them. Drowing them. Hanging them. Beating them to the ground. Electrocuting them. He's a gloried athlete so sentences are a lot more lenient. This legal system favors the rich and famous. If an average joe like you and me did this, we'd be flipping burgers for the next 10 years So tell me where he's paid his due?

In addition to the funding of a dogfighting operation, there were many other charges on the table. That is, many other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal (drugs found in home, taxes). Of course these other charges were not slam dunks like the dog fighting charge (where everywhere you looked there was damning evidence). Although Vick was never found guilty in the court of law for these charges, Vick has not "repaid society" for them. Anyone who believes Vick doing jail time makes him now an innocent person should read "The Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant. It has all the details, everything from the incident where Vick and his buddy held a dog like a jump rope and proceeded to slam it against the ground repeatedly to that abortion of a state prosecutor, Gerald Pointdexter. It's a great read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great read. it's the details that you mention and many more why i can never support him. it's about the maliciousness. and i'm not gonna "get over it" if he was a bill i'd have to find a new team.

5 Wide Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Good QB. Terrible human. If someone wants to pay him, then go for it. I just will never be a Michael Vick supporter. America can forgive and forget, but I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 He did the time, worked hard, has played well and has stayed out of trouble. I don't see why people are so upset about him still. He's been a model citizen since coming back, what more can you ask of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
