91. This comment is for Julie who wrote:

'25. I knew you white supremicists would be mad.'

----->Yo - Nicole - by ASSuming everyone is a 'racist' without knowing for sure make YOU a racist. Do you have one of those new, magical computer screens that allows you to see through to the other side and 'know' what color or race or religion or whatever any given person is just by looking at their nyms? Get over yourself.

"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. "

----->If you think 'white supremicists' are happy at the outcome then what you're saying is that it's a 'black thing' to enjoy torturing, raping, beating, electrocuting and butchering helpless animals. Wow. Your 'race' sure hasn't evolved much has it? Where's you outrage about animal cruelty? Or do you think this is okay somehow. You really are an ignorant cuss. I'm sure there are plenty blacks who are every bit as outraged as everyone else. When you shoot your mouth off like that you embarrass your own race by painting everyone as ignorant and stupid as you are. I don't think they're happy being represented by you as their unofficial ambassador.

"You bigots kill me, because if he was white, you all wouldn't even want him to go to jail."

-----> You really are an ignoramus if you think that people wouldn't want done to him what he and his bastard homies did to those dogs. We animal lovers would want justice no matter what color an abuser is.


" 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.'

----->Now we're getting closer to the truth of what you are all about... I wonder how many times you've been arrested... it would be interesting to read your rap sheet.

"You guys make me sympathetic to his cause just because I don't want to be on the same side as you losers."

----->As I was saying - you really are an ignorant @ss if you side with a convicted animal abuser who gets his rocks off hurting defenseless animals. So because I side with caring more about defenseless animals who are hurt at the hands of bastards like Vick then go ahead and call me a loser. It's a compliment coming from people like you. And one other thing - I have dogs, and they are treated like family. Not that you'd understand a concept of compassion like that since you're prefer to suck up to a convicted animal abuser,

----->So what, so he can't play football anymore. WAH. Cry me a river, my heart bleeds cold borscht for him. If his football career was so important to him he should have behaved better, and he's getting less than he deserved. And yes, he should get the same amount of pain as he gave to defenseless dogs.

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

-----> Oo! Now I'm really scared! My knees are shaking, my heart is racing.....NOT!!! What's next? You going to put a curse on me? Ignorant git. And one last thing - My Christmas wish for you and Vick is that you receive all the torture you wish on animal lovers. Threefold. Now piss off.

93. shirl smith "IT WAS ONE YR AND NOW 2 YEARS I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS UNFAIR... BUT HE IS A MAN AND HE WILL DO WELL..... COUNT ON IT EVERYONE"

are you kidding - how ignorant are you? If he was a MAN, he never would have done this cruel act. Now he is facing his consequence, and he is not alone, his family suffers along with him as I'm sure he is suffering; but it is a self-induced suffering. Had he not been caught, he would continue in this incorrect behavior. He is a man, gimme a break. Had it been Brett Favre, you would be screaming at the top of your lungs that due to his race he should his sentence was too little. Get off the blog if you can't take a dose of your own condemnation when it comes to other individuals - such as ithe mmature pack, Lindsey, Paris, Nicole, etc. Anyone who breaks a law, or is inhumane, etc., should pay the full consequences of their actions. You are a hypocrite and your thinking defeats the purpose of true justice when celebs can serve little or no time for crimes committed.

94. Careful with that comment #101. Saying something similar got them all mad at me.

95. Black and proud Your comment is extremely eloquent. I have had to read it several times................it is notable for strength, compassion, courage , insight & impartiality

96. I hope this man never plays football again. Lke any job you screw up you lose your job over it. This is no exception. These athletes need to be held accountable in their postions. If Manning did this people of color would demand him to never play again, I see alot of people making excuses for Vick which are wrong.

97. To those that say its a cultural thing, be specific. Let me be the first to say that its not a Black cultural thing, but a Southern cultural thing. Dog fighting was (since the Civil War era), is(now), and will be(backwoods of any rural area) a part of Southern culture. Its just unfortunate that Michael Vick was a celebrity who continued to participate in this activity. Let there be no mistake about it, animal fighting is still big. And it does occur in other parts of the US versus Mexico, the Phillipines, etc. Anyone who has spent enough time in any neighboring border city will tell you.

98. Anyone posting here is a pathetic loser and should be at work. At the end of his sentence one thing will remain the same, Michael Vick will still be a rich man and you all will still be broke losers posting lame comments (if you can still afford your dial-up service).

100. Not long enough at all.
Murder is muder- person or animal.

101. They should have given the piece of crap 23 YEARS.

102. I couldn't agree more with you Dora...I too own a pitbull, and it's not the breed that makes them mean, it's the owners....Case in point....Michael Vick. And this whole disgusting thing was never about race. It's about the harming of defenseless animals. And all you people out there saying he wouldn't have gotten the same amount of time if he had killed someone, well let me tell you when someone has it in them to kill and torture defenseless animals, the next step away is a human being. 23 Months is not long enough by any standards...BLACK OR WHITE!!!!!

103. Buzzbomber... You, my friend, are a freaking idiot. You shouldn't post "word vomit"...

104. DORA does friggin means anything in English? You have nominated yourself to be the great sage of the blog. If you don't agree with someone, It's not necessary to called them uneducated. I don't think anyone could have gain any significant information for the content of your comments. Futhermore, in America people are allow to express themselves without the fear of being buried alive in the walls of their homes like some other countries in the Americas.

105. Good, I was afraid he would walk in these days of letting blacks get away with everything if Sharpton or Jackson show up and play the race card (which they did, of course).

Best part is that homie lost over 100 million in potential earnings through both salary and endorsement deals. Maybe he can take up rapping when he gets out, ha ha.
