Vick has really upset people...

he is rich, which equals very good lawyer, which equals freedom or minimum miminum punishment.

Not to sound racist, god forbid, but as I drive around here in Atlanta, if i see a black person and they're wearing an NFL jersey, its a Vick jersey. WTF? Even though he MAY be innocent of not actually participating in the dog fights, he did allow it on his property! Hes still scum. People say the prosecutors etc. are racist and are just trying to bring down a rich black man....OK that has to be the most ignorant thing ever. Arthur Blank (a whitey) owns the falcons and vick (lol, no slave jokes please), and most of the NFL and sports is run by rich white guys, why would they want their investments arrested and put on trial for such heinous crimes? The fact that some people constantly pull the race card, they're just furthering stereotypes and only distancing themselves from everyone else. Until you can just say someone is arrested because of the crime they commited and not the color of their skin, you in fact are the cause of the disease. White, Black, Italian, Vulcan....a bastard is a bastard.

After reading that story, it seems to me that the racial tensions were a little thicker in the report than they probably actually were. The fact that there were people shouting racial slurs isn't really surprising, a lot of people are shallow and ignorant, but I seriously doubt that the few people shouting the slurs are indicative of the views of the large group of people. But we all know that the media is more interested in sensational stories than accurate reporting. Just like anyone else, Michael Vick should be punished if he is found guilty, and the mass media saturation that has followed this case could really hurt Vick's chance of recieving a fair trial. I find it hard to believe that Vick had no idea that dog fights were being held at his property, and I hope that if he is found guilty that the fact that he's a celebrity won't sway the decision at sentencing. If in fact he is guilty, he deserves to be punished the same as anybody else.

just because dog fighting is mostly a black thing doesn't make it right. snapping and shooting up an office/school is mostly a white thing. Would any one get away with that? These extreme fanatic Muslims are mostly middle eastern. Would anyone get away with that? No. So why should Vick get away with this? Everyone is just afraid of everything that's less then six degrees remove from something that could be considered racist. He knew better. He broke the law and now he should have to pay the price for it. If any of us got caught doing it we would have to.

If anything gets him off it won't be the color of his skin, it'll be his celebrity status. It seems like celebrities think they're just invincible and they do these bad things because they know they can get away with it.

Don't get me wrong, if Paris Hilton wants to f*ck on camera and snort blow off a toilet seat all day I don't care. But when she gets a DUI on a suspended license It shouldn't take her accidentally killing some one while she's all f*cked up for her to get punished.
