Celebrity Justice
Dog-Killer Vick Not Worth Grilling

Virginia doesn't want Michael Vick on its mind until he's done serving his first sentence for dogfighting.

A county prosecutor in Va. says that Vick's not worth the jack it'll take to spring the canine-killin' QB out of federal prison and try him on state charges -- then return him and his fellow defendants to their separate big houses. (And we don't mean their mansions.)

MV is serving a 23-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy and dog fighting.

3. Oh let the guy alone. He's quietly doing his time unlike other celebrity inmates, who are in jail whining & crying trying to get out or to make things better for them. Mike admitted what he did & hes doing his time. Other celebrities need to look at him & do as he does, sit back & shut the f--- up.

4. Vick was letting his old pals from the hood influence him too much, and they basically put the screws to him. There was an excellent article about the whole Vick situation in Sports Illustrated months ago. He will be let back in the NFL and some team will pick him up for a back-up role.

5. Vick looks like a dog I had one time. Of course, my dog had more sense. I hope the NFL doesn't let the monster back in.

6. It amazes me that "humans" who are imperfect can be so judging and unforgiving of others as if they have never done wrong themselves. Vick is doing his time(which in my eyes is excessive)..but like PLIES says they want to give us 100 years..give Vick a break..FREE MIKE VICK!!! He will be back and all you HATERS will buy his jersey the first time he runs for another touchdown!!

7. What about all the pitbulls tearing people to shreds and killing little children? Gimme a break!

8. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! This guy WAS one of the best players in the NFL and one of the highest paid. Yet he saw a need to make a little pocket change on the side with dog fights. I hope this 23 months in the pin teaches his dumb A$$ some common sense. Hopefully he will select a better bunch of FRIENDS also........geeez.

9. I have one question for all you MV haters, has dog fighting stop?
Some of you are dumb enough to believe it has , if you really care about DOG FIGHTING do us all a favor go find some more
DOG FIGHTING criminals, PUT YOUR WORHTLESS MV HATING Money where your mouths are.Like I thought you all just want to hate....LOL

10. Actually, I think it's great. He'll serve his time on federal charges, be let out, and then have to go back for another trial and do state time. I'm from Va. trust me, the state is gonna throw the book at him for everything they can make stick. The state and local guys didn't look so good as they waited until the feds went first with charges and it made plenty of people mad because it appeared that they weren't doing anything about the situation.
MV is a thug and after Va. gets through with him, we all hope he finds another place to live!

11. oh please, Vick has paid dearly,

LEAVE MIKE VICK ALONE
You people act like he raped and killed your daughter.

For 1 minute try to understand where his crime (dogfighting) stems from.
Dogfighting like Chicken fighting is cultural. He probably saw his first dog fight before he was 5.
Believe it or not, Dogs are animals. I've never seen a dogfight. But I can't Imagen it being any worse then what I saw my second week working in animal control. I was dropping off about 5 stray dogs at the shelter. I arrived to find the shelter worker sticking a needle into the heart of some of the dogs, there were dogs everywhere, some convulsing, some barely walking, staggering until they fell over, others panting laying on the floor, waiting to die. 15-20 dogs all killed, put in plastic trash bags and stuffed into a freezer to wait for someone to take them to their final resting place, the county land fill.
Mike Vick is a Man, he had his life in order far better then I do. He made a mistake, that was bread into him, rather through family, peers or both. Maybe oneday we will see Hunting or Fishing is inhumane. I mean taking a living creature, stuffing it to hang on your wall?
I've seen people get serious DUI or DWI offenses where people are hurt, child molesters, drug dealers, and burglars not get punished the way Mike Vick has been.
VA. should give Vick time served on any of the changes it intends to bring.
There are hundreds of other animals being abused in Va. Get off of Mike Vick so that he maybe able to heal his life. Maybe he will see Dogfighting with a new heart and will be able to change the hearts of others.

12. #6 & 7 your ass is plain old ignorant #12 your ass is plain ol' stupid. You have no idea how he grew up, and alleging how he grew up shows just how uneducated you are!!! "Dog Fighting" is cruel and fortunately Michael Vick's name is "BIG" enough to get the word out, DON'T DO IT!!! Who are you his mother preaching to people to get off his back. His a son of a bith who needs to rot in hell!!!!!! His career is done, ya he may come back but his prime will be over!!! HA, HA, HA!!!!

13. Mike Vick Rocks!!! Yea, I agree leave him alone. He IS doing his time. And I also agree that he let his friends from the hood influence him - it happens except that his boys were P*ssy and dropped dime on him. Vick admitted to his crime, like a man and is doing his time. There are way more people, that are not celebrities that engage in dog fighting - I am totally against it but he isn't the only person doing it. Unfortunately he just got caught. I look forward to seeing Mike back in the NFL.

14. I really should be working - but - can't stop reading these comments! I live here in Newport News, Va. & when everything went down with the Vick mess, thats all everyone talked about. Yes, what he and his friends did was terrible, yes at first he lied about things, but then told the truth & faced his punishment. I know his son, a sweet wonderful young man, and he is friends with my grandson & I feel so sorry for him. What his dad did will "hang" over his head for the rest of his life I'm sure, but at some time there has to be somekind of forgiveness. I'm sure that Mike is sitting in his cell daily & especially at night thinking of what he did & how this has affected his life,career & his family. He will have to live with that for the rest of his life, and once out, he will be watched & hopefully he has learned from his mistakes & can be the father his children need. I met him on the first day of his sons school, at the time when everything was going down, & he took the time to stop in the hallway & let me take pictures of him & I thought that was pretty cool of him to do that for me. I have faith that he will learn from this & get out & be a great dad & hopefully in future will still continue in the NFL. I have faith in ya Vick!!

15. What Vick did was awful. And yeah, he may deserve to rot in hell for what he allowed to happen. But realistically, they made an example of him. He got greater punishment than a the killer of another human being.

And that is the disgrace of the justice system. As well as those screaming for his head. Where are all you people when a man kills his wife? His kids. His neighbor? When a father rapes his daughter, killing her soul?

And truthfully, had Vick been less famous, less rich, and realistically, white, he would have gotten a slap on the wrist and sent on his way.
