17. Not flippin' enough time- I'd add that his funds be used to support the animal rehabs. I wish we still had labor camps in this country!

19. This is a sick, sadistic bastard who deserves every minute of the punishment he got, You dont harm creatures on this earth that are defenselss. People who claim his punishment is racist are racist idiiots themselves,

20. I knew you white supremicists would be mad. That man has to spend 2 years of his life in prison, not to mention, he can't play football anymore. But let me guess, to y'all it ain't enough unless they execute him, right? Just becuase he's black he should be burned at the stake. You bigots kill me, because if he was white, you all wouldn't even want him to go to jail. I don't agree at all with what he did. I think it's disgusting. But I'm not going to sit in my glass house and act like I've never done anything either. You guys make me sympathetic to his cause just because I don't want to be on the same side as you losers.

My Christmas wish for all of you is that you receive all the torture you wish on other people. Threefold.

What's unfair is these rich a**holes walking around getting away with MURDER and driving under the influence it's a shame that the famous make more money than a teacher and get away with everything...I'd like to see him and all these other so called influential people put behind bars for life...maybe it will get through some of the adolecents that no matter how much money you have KILLING is not GODS WILL!!!

Why should his incarceration "include a daily gang bang for him"?

He'll have to serve his time. His rights and freedom have been taken away. He will have no say over where he goes, what time he gets up or what time he goes to sleep. He will have to eat whatever is prepared and will have no other choices.

Two years out of his life and professional career will most likely be over.

And you think that gang rape should be added to his incarceration? That is really a sad statement.

27. Too long... dogs die everyday. Just go to the local animal shelter.

28. What the heck are you talking about Nicole??

29. Very funny how multiple episodes of drunk driving will get you one day and dog fighting will land you two years... We obviously value animals more than human life

30. They need to prosecute every single person who harms dogs. From Michael Vick to the people who buy those little feminine dogs and dress them to match their handbags. The pain suffered by the pit bulls is the same as the ridiculous strife put on those dogs used as accessories. Can you believe that I saw a grown man walking around with a toy breed? Uuuugghhhh!
