NAACP Supports Michael Vick's return to the NFL

[jenwilson]

Rumor has it Vick WON'T be admitting to the fighting of or killing of the dogs, just to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dogfighting.

Jury pool would've looked something like this. Snoopy looks intense.:D

I do hope he is punished severely by every legal group he has to deal with.
I do believe in kindness and redemption, but this goes beyond what I think
should be forgiven.
At least the dogs are not in harms way now.
Poor little critters.

This jerk needs to do a 180 degree turn for forgiveness. I would like to see him serve, donate and advocate care for animal rights. But I'm not sure I'd trust his ability to be genuine.

[sharronhurlbut]

Well, the football club is asking for the 22 mil back…so that must be a start at getting his attention.
He was on the news today, saying he needed to "grow up" and taking responsibility...but then, he does have good lawyers, so time will tell if it just words.

[Duke]

Yep - bet he's got someone writing a script for him.

Words are just words. "Actions speak louder than words". That is why I would like to see him advocate for animal rights. Like participating with PETA projects would mean more than saying "I need to grow up." He needs to take action so his words are credible.

Apparently actor Jamie Foxx is speaking up for Vick: http://www.accesshollywood.com/news/ah6563.shtml

Also read where the Humane Society has jerseys/shirts (in Vick colors I might add) for sale that says "Real Heros don't fight Dogs" "Dogfighting is not a sport"! Check out the shirts: http://hsus.petfulfillment.com/listcategory.php?menuchildnodeid=271

I like the shirts a lot.
They did a report on the dog fighting in Chicago last night.
One in five children has been to one in their city.
I was shocked.
This is turning the light on something very ugly.
I so hope it turns peoples thinking around…its no "sport" its barbaric.

I'd like to see "Clifford" as the foreman on that jury.
