Vic needs to have a “dogfight” with his other hoodlums. One by one and a fight to the death. Let the winners reward be body slammed, electrocuted and hung - as he did to his dogs.

THIS is what news reporters are saying.

What do you see as different?

Vic is black trash.

I do not understand why there has been no talk of Vicks Virginia property being forfeited. He purchased the property for the purpose of operating and maintaining an illegal dog fighting operation. People who try to pick up a prostitute get their cars confiscated, why not Vicks property?

I still find it interesting that a man that has killed dogs, for no reason, gets one year jail time and a guy who fixed basketball game scores can get 25 years. Something wrong with our moral attitudes here.

NO, PHYSICAL punishment and death is appropriate.

These dogs aren’t mean. They are ABUSED which makes them angry and mean. No animal deserves this. There is something terribly wrong with a human being doing this for FUN to an animal.

Purchaced property for the expressed purpose of running a dog fighting operation.

We heard he just ran one on his property. Losts more planning when it’s expressed purpose.

Vic is black trash

What does his skin color have to do with it?

And he is a bit more than "trash," he is evil.

The State of Virginia will probably go after Vick next.

The Feds may be the least of Vick's worries if Poindexter's changed his mind about prosecuting Vick...

Michael Vick Can Still Face State Charges

“The State of Virginia will probably go after Vick next.”

From ESPN.com
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=munson_lester&id=2983319

The local prosecutor in Surry County, Va., where Vick built his dogfighting compound, says he will now take action against Vick. What can he do to Vick that the federal authorities haven’t already done?

Gerald Poindexter, the local prosecutor, can huff and puff and seek attention, but that’s about it. Vick need not worry much about Poindexter. The federal authorities have the seven witnesses, the financial records, the e-mails and all the other evidence. Poindexter can charge Vick with dogfighting under a Virginia law that makes it a felony, but any punishment the player might serve on that charge would be done at the same time Vick is serving his federal sentence. Poindexter appears to be a bit embarrassed that the feds took over an investigation that he had started, and so whatever action he ultimately takes might be motivated, at least in part, by a desire to save face.

By the way, it is “The Commonwealth of Virginia.”

Don’t count on it. Poindexter has already shown how incompetent he is. My guess is that Poindexter continues to live down to the lowered expectations of “good ‘ole boy(which now includes blacks)” slower Virginia.

” How do you know it isn’t? “

Have you read ANYTHING about forfeiture? I haven’t.

In or about March of 2003, PEACE, after consulting with VICK about the losing female pit bulls condition, executed the losing dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal.


After reading most of it, my opinion of VICK has only worsened. What a pathetic loser. That “PEACE” guy is anything but. I hope he stays in jail till anything even close to his incredible football talent is completely gone from him.

"What does his skin color have to do with it?

Some folks are 'white trash' and I don't see why you want to question why someone is accurately described. He is trashy and he is black. And, yes, he is evil as well. Would you have asked your question if the story had been about a caucasian and someone referred to him/her as 'white trash'?

If only the lamestream media could work up this much interest and perhaps even a little indignation at a scumbag like George ‘The Killer’ Tiller, the infamous abortionist.
