Umm, Vick DID participate in the killing, he shocked and drowned and killed dogs with his friends. I'm not saying he didn't pay his debt to society, but rooting for him dude?
And it's not where you were raised, it's how you were raised. I am sure there are many people down south who see it my way as well.
How can you seriously root for someone who did this? There are 31 other starting QB's in the NFL, why not root for one of them.
I value human life over animals as well, but imo Vick is below human. He is a sick monster who knowingly committed murder on innocent beings. Do you value Bin Laden's life over dogs? Even though he has the flesh and organs of a human, I don't think there are very many people who would feel that his life is more valuable than even dog shit.
Why again would you root for him? When being interviewed, Vick was asked how many dogs he thought he may have killed. He said "Probably a couple hundred". What an asshole.
And on the DUI from Stallworth, DUI is a mistake he made. Everyone makes mistakes, but killing dogs the way Vick did wasn't just a human error. It was a pre-meditated plan to torture and execute dogs who didn't win a dogfight.I don't think Stallworth woke up that morning and said "Gee, I think I want to get drunk, get in my car, and kill someone tonight". But there is no doubt at all that Vick planned to murder hundreds of dogs. That's a pretty big fucking difference in crimes kid.
I also don't think Vick has any remorse for what he did.
Sure, he lost a lot of money and went to prison, but if he wouldn't have gotten caught Bad News Kennels would still be running, Vick would still be killing dogs to this day.
It's not about putting animals lives over humans, it's about YOU rooting for a man who could commit such a henious and vicious act. That's disappointing man, it really is.
And on your comment about this being a drug message board, I am pretty sure everyone here on Bluelight would agree that doing drugs is a personal choice, and there certainly aren't any victims as a result of personal drug use. I am not hurting anyone if I decide to snort a line, smoke a joint, or trip on mushrooms. But to act like all crimes are equal, which is what you are implying by comparing what Vick did and using drugs, is simply absurd.
Brother I really hope you have a change of heart on Vick.
