The charges agains Michael Vick should be dropped.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

Look, I hate Michael Vick as much as anybody else on this board. But we need to stop all this foolish talk of charging him with a crime. First off, there really isn't any reason to suggest that a crime was committed here at all. Furthermore, what the indictbots fail to understand is, in order to get a conviction you need to have all nine out of nine jurors vote for a conviction. We'll never get a conviction because Georgia is a state with Republicans in it. Just think about it. If Michael Vick gets acquitted, and we all know he will, then it's just going to make us pet owners look bad, and he's going to be a hero, just like those Duke boys. Frankly, it's not fair to sequester those jurors. I'm sure those jurors have a lot more important things to do with their lives than hold a trial for Michael Vick. Personally, I think we should focus on the positive. Let's bring homes to those dogs.

1. Let's bring homes to the dogs and indict Vick.

[seemslikeadream]

2. Let's bring homes to those dogs.

Are you talking about finding homes for pitbulls bred for fighting?

[Tulum_Moon]

27. A home without children I hope

And no other pets. No old people.

[xchrom]

3. ...

:woohoo: :crazy: :woohoo:

[Jed Dilligan]

4. Nice to hear a voice of sanity!!!1111

The indictbots are such extremists, I'm concerned their making us look bad... :scared:

[piedmont]

18. The indictment should be off the table. No need for investigations either. nt

[Jed Dilligan]

31. Yup, time to move on

These whiners don't understand the first thing about process and procedures.

[michaz]

45. And moving on is suppose to do what? Solve a problem like this?

The guy is a jerk and what he has done with his friends at that house is sick. Just because we are fighting a war that we should not be in and loosing troops we shouldn't doesn't mean that other rotten things shouldn't be discussed!!

[Jed Dilligan]

47. Sorry the sarcasm of this thread has eluded you

Hint: it has nothing to do with football players or dogfighting.

[panader0]

5. He's a buff guy. Let him fight a dog (personally) on pay-per-view

and send the profits to PETA

[burythehatchet]

6. Dogs bred for fighting are not allowed to be adopted

they are kept alive long enough to collect evidence.

[seemslikeadream]

7. That's correct

:hi:

[burythehatchet]

10. I didn't know that until I heard it on NPR thi AM. So heartbreaking

It seems to me that this is a truly heinous activity. One I was unaware of until the Vick situation. Tragic on so many levels.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Why are dogs bred for fighting in the first place? How sick is that?

:wtf: they are kept alive long enough to collect evidence. And what happens to them, after that? They are destroyed? :wow: That is beyond cruel!

[burythehatchet]

19. "sick" does not adequately express the sentiment.

Yes, they are put down because they are too dangerous to be adopted.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. That is so sad! I love dogs and don't understand why anyone would do something so cruel,

as to breed them for fighting, let alone get enjoyment out of it and profit from it. :cry:

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Let't quit letting the media distract us

I am about over this story. Yes it was a tragedy but it's evolved into nothing more than a missing blonde story.

[BushOut06]

9. What the fuck?

I think you forgot the sarcasm emoticon. At least, I hope you were being sarcastic. Were you actually there? Do you know all the details? How the fuck can you say that "isn't any reason to suggest a crime was committed here at all"? Animal cruelty means nothing to you?

[hfojvt]

25. Psssst

It's another mocking attack against people who argue against impeachment. I think this is like the 3rd sequel or something.

[BushOut06]

28. Ah

I thought it might be satirical, but sometimes it's kinda hard to tell here on DU.

[hfojvt]

40. it can be

but you have to consider the source.

[frogcycle]

11. how about the local authorities make the decision

of what charges, if any, are apppropriate

[Codeine]

12. I agree.

This is only going to make us look bad and distract us from the real job of bringing those dogs home.

[piedmont]

13. I like my DU sarcasm DRYYYYYYYYYYY.

[IChing]

30. This was very dry humor

[shireen]

42. so dry that someone had to tell me it was not for real. so much for parody ...nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. Dry humor? I'll take a pass.

:shrug:

[monktonman]

14. Your joking right?

You forgot the sarcasm smiley thingy....right?
Make us pet owners look bad? really?

Ok lets not impeach because it would make those of us
who still believe in the law look bad.

In fact, lets not have laws at all because someone will always loose
and get there feelings hurt and we cant have that.

[monktonman]

16. dupe, sorry

[blogslut]

17. I wanted you.

And I was looking for you.
But I couldn't find you.
I wanted you.
And I was looking for you all day.
But I couldn't find you.
I couldn't find you.
You're walking.
And you don't always realize it, but you're always falling.
With each step you fall forward slightly.
And then catch yourself from falling.
Over and over, you're falling.
And then catching yourself from falling.
And this is how you can be walking and falling at the same time.

20. Do I hear a "WHOOOSH"? n/t

[LittleClarkie]

37. More like a zipping sound

It was moving faster than a mere whoosh.

[BlackVelvet04]

22. Virginia, not Georgia. n/t

[benddem]

23. dog fighting is a crime

what's the matter with you????

[kskiska]

24. Wasn't the dogfighting going on at his home in Virginia?

Not as many Republicans as Georgia.

[NC_Nurse]

26. Fuck that.

Dog fighting is sadistic and horrible. I don't care how I look. I hope his career is ruined and he goes to jail.

Asshole.

29. Tammy Faye >>>>>>>>> Michael Vick

[Warren Stupidity]

32. What about the kittens?

We have to sport the kittens.

[Robeson]

33. This took place in Virginia, not Georgia....

...in addition, the state of Virginia will, in all likely-hood, also bring up charges...

He's in deep doo doo.

[emilyg]

34. have you lost your decency?

[LittleClarkie]

36. He's doing a parody of those who aren't interested in impeachment

I reckon.

[alcibiades_mystery]

39. Dude!

Why'd ya hafta go and ruin it????

Fuckin' A.

[Warren Stupidity]

41. There is always somebody who wrecks the fun.

[emilyg]

46. OH-oh i apologize.

[LittleClarkie]

35. Nice bit of satire

Let's see how many get it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

38. This is why I love you, Bornagin

Even if you are a roach-torturing sophist.

Hilarious.

[Middle finga]

43. Bornaginholligan letting vick off the hook makes about as much sense

as letting the president off the hook for his crimes.... oh wait never mind

[DemGa]

48. Yee haw? n/t
