52. What a load of apologist crap

Mon Dec 9, 2013, 05:18 PM

Dec 2013

Michael Vick did NOT serve any time for animal torture or slaughter: he was convicted and served time for shady financial dealings related to his profit from the dog fights. This is not complex or difficult to understand but time and time again apologists for this creep ignore it completely. Vick was convicted of "Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture". This is a RICO charge, not an animal cruelty charge. The animal cruelty was considered only an "aggravating circumstance" for sentencing. MICHAEL VICK DID NOT SERVE ANY TIME FOR TORTURING OR SLAUGHTERING ANY OF THOSE DOGS.

As for defending that serial pedophile, I couldn't be more disgusted. He never paid for his crimes against children and is still idolized as a hero by millions because he could dance and write a catchy little jingle. Pardon my French, but f*ck that noise.
