thats your OPINION on it and mines is a completely different one rather you agree or not ppl said fry him cause he fought the dogs im not speaking on the killings strickly fighting and you talk about money ive seen parents put they kids in situation for alot less and i would tend to think a human has a chance of dying or risking injury in a fight same as a dog ...
ive seen parents load they kids in cars take them to the other kids house make the kids fight all cause one may have got beating up at skool while his parent isnt around i dont see a difference...
almost took his career away and broke him over some dogs that spca kill everyday cause they running out of rm for the dog or the dog just simply doesnt get along with other dogs call me ignorant stupid watever lol its highly accepted..but just my opinion at the end of the day...

Judicial system isn't so much about Justice as it is about having the money to afford Justice these days.
They took all of Vick's money, and if you recall the fights were betting in the six-figure range. It was a huge dog fighting ring where only PAID owners could be involved, like the best of the best. The reason Vick's case got hit on so hard is because of the long-term abuse/training that these people subject a large number of dogs to, which is a Federal offense.
On top of that, these dogs can end up injuring or killing small children. Mfkrs raise these dogs in a blood thirsty way to get money in an illegal sport, and not only does it hurt/kill dogs but it can end up injuring people too. It also gives Pitbulls a bad reputation. They're really bread to be working dogs, they have competitions where they pull upwards of 1,000lbs and shit. Now if I walk down the street with my happy ass Pit that's just always wanted attention and play, people look at my dog like its going to bite the shit out of them.
There's a couple reasons the Stallworth case wasn't as big a deal:
1) Stallworth paid off the family
2) It seems the man he hit, didn't get hit because Stallworth had been drinking... more just a lack of recognition of the surrounding vehicles by the pedestrian. I think Stallworth was just literally driving down the road when a guy walked out in front of him.
3) Vehicular Manslaughter and issues like that are presided upon by State Law, not Federal Law.

double jeopardy falls under the right to work act. he has been suspended indefinitely already. they have to lift that suspension to let him go and be active at training camp. to re suspend him would be double jeopardy. i dont write this shit, im just telling you what espn told me. i could give 2 shits.
if i were a donkey fan id be writing my team emails daily begging to sign him! but im not so i wont!

This is why I have a non-sexual man crush on Mike Tomlin:
"Once the commissioner makes his decision on whether Michael Vick can come back, I think anybody who is interested in competing would be interested in him," Tomlin said of the suspended Falcons signal caller. "Whether or not I'm interested in him is another thing. I've got a quarterback. But I think, boy, we're awful quick to judge.
"I thought the basis of our country was built on second chances and redemption. This guy pays his debt to society and he's reinstated by [NFL] commissioner [Roger] Goodell, he deserves an opportunity to right some of the things he has done wrong."
When asked about the difficulty of signing Vick, who will still likely draw protest from PETA backers, Tomlin acknowledged it will be hard. However, he also questioned whether it should.
"I understand it's going to be hard, but what I'm saying is that maybe it shouldn't be. Those without sin cast the first stone, if you know what I mean?" Tomlin said. "The reality is that this young man went to prison and paid his debt to society and if the commissioner deems him worthy of a second chance, who are we to pass judgment?"
