Another difference is dogs and chickens fight to the death boxers and football players don’t.
“This is starting to look very racist. I mean wh yaren’t they raiding the WHITE sports or music stars?
Oh...never mind.”
If Vick had anything to do with this, he’d turn on a white person in a nano second. I’ve also read that blacks view dogfighting as a cultural thingie.
I find it despicable for any skin color to engage in this.
BTW, if you know of a white person engaging in this, TURN EM IN.
Only a true RACIST would defend another black person, really based on color, for torturing and murdering animals for sport and profit. It’s scary that SKIN COLOR make this okay.
Well it worked for OJ. Kobe too.
I can only hope O.J. is shunned the rest of his life.
Several white men have been arrested in my state over the past few years for dog fighting. They had all the equipment that goes along with it too, treadmills, syringes, meds, medical staplers, protein builders etc. Tons of evidence.
The local SPCA had to absorb the cost of housing and medical care for the dogs until it went to trial, since they were evidence. It took almost a year, then the poor animals had to be euthanized anyway, since they weren’t adoptable. The community really tried to help out, donations, supplies. Only bad thing about it was that many ‘good’ dogs had to be put down to make room for these dogs.
A friend who’s a vet in a southern state told me lots of white people are involved in dog fighting there. It’s hard for law enforcement to pin down, since fights are held in basements, barns, sheds etc in out of the way places. Very rural, very isolated and they can change locations. And since just being at a dog fight is illegal, most attendees aren’t going to admit they were there. Much of the time it’s discovered during a drug raid or when someone accidently comes across dog bodies.
What I see going on here, with blacks ... is that no matter how heinous the crime, such as Vick with dog fighting ... black folks don’t care - they want him back in the games as though nothing happened.
O.J. ... blacks threatened to riot if he was not acquitted. The Rodney King episode is another example of ... the truck driver beaten to a pulp because of his color and that was okay.
More and more I see a double standard for crime and punishment. News also indicates the view of Vick is decidedly along racial line - whites see it as reporphesbible and blacks have no problem with it. Worse yet, sick Vick STILL doesn’t want to take full responsibility for his full involvement. Even Vick’s father stated, Vick ran the show - not others ... .
I forget whether is was the NAACP, another racist organization, defended dogfighting as a “black cultural thing.” to further justify winking at Vick. No, it is unacceptable. I hope the state of Virginia throw the book at this guy and the Judge, who is known to love dogs with lots of leeway on the conspiracy charge throws his sorry srse in prison and the NFL bans him - not just suspending him without pay.
That'll get you dead in the pen.
