Why is it that people  going to jail or are in jail often find god only to lose god when they get out of prison. I do not believe that he sorry for what he did. I think hes sorry he got caught. I hope the judge locks up Vick for the maximum sentence. Michael Vick announced that he found Jesus. I hope Vick gets all that he has coming to him.  like a eye for a eye.

I guess that was all that was left to find, after the feds found everything else. I agree with you --- Vick is sorry he got caught and what that cost him financially, not about what he did that got him in trouble. He'll continue to act very, very sorry until the judge sentences him, hoping that the judge will see the change in him now that federal prosecutors have shown him the way and the light. I'd actually have more respect for him if he just admitted that he did it and that he didn't care about dogs and their feelings and pain. At least then he'd be honest about it. Its the utter hypocrisy that gets me of him killing dogs that couldn't kill other dogs, then saying how bad he feels now and what a terrible thing dogfighting is. Climbing down from my soapbox now. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132373 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132373 I guess that was all that was left to find, after the feds found everything else.

Have you been monitoring the NAACP?  They make me sick.  They are trying to paint this as a black cultural thing.  Get the race card in there, quick.  I called them and left my opinion on their voicemail (877) NAACP-98.  After Vick announced he was taking a plea deal the NAACP issued another statement saying they "have no position" on his case.  Yeah, sure.  Anyone who tortures the elderly, children, or animals is scum.  I don't care if he's black, white, or polka-dot.  Trying to divide this into a race issue is so wrong. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132504 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132504 Have you been monitoring the NAACP?  They make me sick.  They are trying to paint this as a black cultural thing.  Get the race card in there, quick.  I called them and left my opinion on their voicemail (877) NAACP-98.  After Vick announced he was taking a plea deal the NAACP issued another statement saying they "have no position" on his case.  Yeah, sure.  Anyone who tortures the elderly, children, or animals is scum.  I don't care if he's black, white, or polka-dot.  Trying to divide this into a race issue is so wrong. The NAACP is as obsolete as the term "Colored Peoples."  They are stuck in the 1960s; we've come so far since then and they will never be satisfied because their very existence is based on a continuing feeling of oppression.  Improvement almost works against them.  And I think they really enjoy sticking their foot in their mouth- almost as much as the ACLU.  Very funny about the Vick comments :) http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132510 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132510 The NAACP is as obsolete as the term "Colored Peoples."  They are stuck in the 1960s; we've come so far since then and they will never be satisfied because their very existence is based on a continuing feeling of oppression.  Improvement almost works against them.  And I think they really enjoy sticking their foot in their mouth- almost as much as the ACLU.  Very funny about the Vick comments :) I don't understand it when groups like the NAACP stands behind and support sickos like Vick. The NAACP should come out against Vick and his crimes. Call it like it is, a mean man doing really terrible mean things to animals. Drowning, hanging, fighting and killing dogs. That is what Vick did. It ain't a Black cultural thing its a mean thing its a crime.  I hope that Vick will get his 'Karma' http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132512 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132512 I don't understand it when groups like the NAACP stands behind and support sickos like Vick.

Nobody cares unless a national celebrity is caught, then all of a sudden its the worst crime ever...how pathetic. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132525 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132525 I donno about all of you, but I'm tired of hearing about Michael Vick.  It's obvious that dog fighting is likely more prevalent that anyone want's to think, but why is it that we only now hear about it?

The sports commentators are more worried about Vick turning on his team mates and the betting issue.  I'm telling ya - only a very sick individual would torture an animal.  But the sports industry that diminishes the torture and worries over the betting and debates Vick snitching on his team mates .... they are just flat out stupid.  The sports commentators seem to have dismissed the main issue.  They embarrass me. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132628 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132628 The sports commentators are more worried about Vick turning on his team mates and the betting issue.  I'm telling ya - only a very sick individual would torture an animal.  But the sports industry that diminishes the torture and worries over the betting and debates Vick snitching on his team mates .... they are just flat out stupid.  The sports commentators seem to have dismissed the main issue.  They embarrass me. man...I found God in my recovery process (re-hab), i hope i am not compared to Michael Vick.  I don't think it is at all the same thing.  The point is once you find him DONT lose him when you are out (of jail, re-hab, prison etc). Which I havent. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132793 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132793 man...I found God in my recovery process (re-hab), i hope i am not compared to Michael Vick.  I don't think it is at all the same thing.  The point is once you find him DONT lose him when you are out (of jail, re-hab, prison etc). Which I havent. You are absolutely not compared to him. He wasn't in the grip of addiction...he killed dogs who weren't mean enough to kill other dogs for him. He hanged, drowned and electrocuted them. He lied to everyone when his home was raided and only came 9partially) clean when it was clear there was no other way out for him. He hasn't gone to jail yet, since he isn't sentenced until December, which is why I think it's all a ruse to try and give the judge the appearance that he is something he is not. And to rm6, plenty of people have been focused on and working on the illegal dogfighting issue for years. Just because it took a celebrity arrest to make some people aware of it doesn't mean it didn't exist before now. Lots of people cared before a celebrity got caught --- just not the media. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132845 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132845 You are absolutely not compared to him.

We have so much information bombarding us these days it takes a sensational case with a celebrity to focus the public attention.  If you can remember how a "disease of some homosexual men" was whispered about for years.  It took Rock Hudson to bring the conversation into the public awareness.  Then, Paul-Michael Glasser's wife was stricken by AIDS via a blood transfusion and all of a sudden this was a disease that needed to be dealt with because it could infect anyone.  Low-class, low-intelligence, bottom-feeders of society enjoy desensitizing tough dogs into readily attacking their own species.  The dogs are trained by teasing them into a frenzy with some of those free puppies and kittens some people set out in boxes at storefronts.  That is illegal in Kern County by the way.  Often, the first animal the dogs are teased into attacking is a raccoon hung in a sack.  After the dogs learn to enjoy ripping up a wild animal, they get to chomp on a kitten.  To make sure they have been trained out of all normal instincts to protect juveniles of their own species, they are then encouraged to tear up a puppy or two.  Gameness can be tested without harm to the potential fighter by pushing him (or her) to attack an adult dog, usually a stray or free-ad dog that has been muzzled so it cannot defend itself.  Some dogs cannot be trained to attack another dog with much enthusiasm.  Those are the pit bill terriers who most resemble the true breed character and they are also the ones who get executed.  Is this the worst crime ever?  No.  But I wouldn't want someone who thinks this is okay to live anywhere near my neighborhood. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132868 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/bigdog/13795/#c_132868 We have so much information bombarding us these days it takes a sensational case with a celebrity to focus the public attention.  If you can remember how a "disease of some homosexual men" was whispered about for years.  It took Rock Hudson to bring the conversation into the public awareness.  Then, Paul-Michael Glasser's wife was stricken by AIDS via a blood transfusion and all of a sudden this was a disease that needed to be dealt with because it could infect anyone.  Low-class, low-intelligence, bottom-feeders of society enjoy desensitizing tough dogs into readily attacking their own species.  The dogs are trained by teasing them into a frenzy with some of those free puppies and kittens some people set out in boxes at storefronts.  That is illegal in Kern County by the way.  Often, the first animal the dogs are teased into attacking is a raccoon hung in a sack.  After the dogs learn to enjoy ripping up a wild animal, they get to chomp on a kitten.  To make sure they have been trained out of all normal instincts to protect juveniles of their own species, they are then encouraged to tear up a puppy or two.  Gameness can be tested without harm to the potential fighter by pushing him (or her) to attack an adult dog, usually a stray or free-ad dog that has been muzzled so it cannot defend itself.  Some dogs cannot be trained to attack another dog with much enthusiasm.  Those are the pit bill terriers who most resemble the true breed character and they are also the ones who get executed.  Is this the worst crime ever?  No.  But I wouldn't want someone who thinks this is okay to live anywhere near my neighborhood.
