125. This is just my opinion on MJ and MV7!

Dec 2013

In my opinion, Michael Jackson never had a childhood! He was performing continuously from a very early age. He was never afforded a normal life of a child growing up. I also believe the reasons why he gravitated to towards children so much, had to do with children did not want to use him for what he has. So, as he grew older, he found himself trusting children more than he could trust adults. So, he turned his home into an amusement park, had sleep overs, and surrounded himself with children so he could have a childhood.

Now, whether or not he molested children, I do not know! He was found innocent in the court of law, and from what I understand, a person is innocent until proven guilty.

As far as Mike Vick goes, as a kid growing up in Newport News, VA, he would watch dog fights when the police would arrive and do nothing. They would just leave and let the dog fighting continue. So, from a very young age dog fighting probably did not seem to be big of a deal as what it actually was. Plus, Mike Vick did not invent dog fighting. Dog fighting has been going on long before Mike Vick got caught, and it continues to go on to this day. There have been tons of dog fighting rings that were exposed and the worst some of those caught received was couple of thousand dollars in fines.

So, please don't get me wrong, I do believe dog fighting is a horrible act! But, I never hear anyone talk about what he has done with his life as far as animal rights since he has been released? It appears that that people love to have the "crabs in a barrel" mentality, when they refuse to allow someone who has done wrong in his/her past, but after having been rehabilitated, allowing them to prove to society that they truly regret their missteps and they have changed. It would be nice to judge Mike Vick for what he has done since being released from prison. I thought that is what prison is about, rehabilitation and reform!

I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed for my opinions, but again, these are my opinions.
