Let me preface by saying I love dogs as much as anyone on the planet and what Michael Vick did is despicable on many levels. He brought this all on himself and I have no sympathy for the guy…….however.
I think someone should explain why Michael Vick is scum of the earth for shooting, drowning, electrocuting and hanging dogs meanwhile John Gotti, who probably shot, drowned, electrocuted and hung even more humans is a national hero amongst many white Americans. Why do we vilify gangster rappers and the inner city drug culture and at the same time romanticize the Mafia?
Yes. You can make the case that mafia guys killing other mafia guys is a win-win for the rest of America but not everyone they killed or harmed was involved in organized crime. John Gotti allegedly chainsawed a guy to death in his basement after he struck and killed Gotti’s grandson in a car accident. Consider all the businesses they shook down until they went bankrupt. Consider the mafia tax that went into New York construction projects.
Vick is going to pay the price for what he’s done. There is no doubt about that. Let’s move the f*ck on. If the American people were 25% as outraged by the near 3,000 soldiers that have died in Iraq as they are about those eight dogs WE’D BE OUT OF THERE ALREADY!
