Mike Vick: Vicious Dog Killer...or bitch ass nigga....


August 21, 2007 | Tags: Mike Vick, Dog Fighting, STFU

                When I first spoke on the whole Vick situation I said that the media was mishandling the case. When I spoke on the issue the second time, I said people jumping to conclusions and getting over emotional pre-trial were wrong for doing so. I stand by that. I also said that if they have evidence that proves Vick is guilty he deserves whatever sentence he gets. I stand by that also. I wouldn’t change a word of anything I typed prior to it being announced Mike will be pleading guilty. Since it’s been announced Mike Vick will be pleading guilty I’ve heard two different opinions. One…he’s guilty. Two…he’s not guilty, but he was gonna get found guilty so he plead guilty to take a lesser penalty. Truthfully, I’d be more upset with Mike Vick if opinion number 2 is right. I decided to drop my 999,999,999,999 cents on both sides.



Side 1: “That nigga did that shit”



                All that shit I said about people being wrong for jumping the gun…..well it’s no longer jumping the gun. I don’t care what evidence they have or don’t have, dude plead guilty, plain and simple. He’s admitted to the crime of dog fighting, which is illegal. People can argue about how insignificant a dog’s life is all they want, but dog fighting is illegal. If you do something illegal, there’s the possibility of facing punishment. When I light up non-tobacco products I know “I could get a ticket for this shit, or possibly lose my job”. Whether you think it’s wrong or not that it’s illegal, it doesn’t matter, it’s illegal. If you think something shouldn’t be illegal, you go petition, write congressmen, or some shit like that. Once you get caught, it’s too late. Is a human’s life more valuable than that of an animal? Of course it is, but not to the point where you can take a animal’s life for pure entertainment. Or even worse, taking the life of an animal because it refused to entertain.  Now, those are just my moral opinions, so I can’t really force anyone else to feel that way, but the fact remains what dude did was illegal, and him pleading guilty meant that he’s admitting to doing it.



                Now, like I said prior, if we take that stance, you have to go a step further. While people have gotten extremely upset because dude tortured some dogs, several other animals are tortured and killed daily here in America, without huge media coverage. Chickens are crammed together in cages so tight that some of them never touch the bottom of the cages. Irritated, they bite at each other, tearing of beaks, legs, and other parts of the other chickens bodies. Why? So farmers can hold more chickens in a smaller area and make more money. Cows are kept in cages so small they can’t move, and only given liquids to produce Veal. Deer and birds are constantly being hunted. (even the vice president hunts) Where is all the media coverage for this stuff? Where’s the public outcry for all of this? Torturing and killing for what reason other than we can? None. Truthfully, contradictory to what the big homie J-23 said, we don’t even have to eat meat (Vegans and Vegetarians are normally healthier than meat eaters. They have been proven less likely to get all sorts of illness meat eaters get also). In fact, are bodies aren’t designed for eating meat. Look at our teeth, and then look at the teeth of any other meat eater. They’re not the same. Our digestive track is more similar to that of herbivores than carnivores, yet animals are tortured so farmers can make more money off meat that we eat that we don’t even have to. Why isn’t everybody bothered by the horrible treatment of other sentient animals like they are for dogs? See here in America, we don’t keep deer or chickens on leashes in our houses.  While the Buddhist have extreme respect for the cows…this is America, and who gives a fuck. We do things however we want, even if it is contradictory.



                Truthfully, Mike Vick changed my life. Although I was against jumping to conclusions, I never did agree with dog fighting, and I always stated that if it is proven dude is guilty he’s wrong. When I wrote the second blog and spoke on how people were hypocrites, I realized, I was a hypocrite. Just because I wasn’t  anxious to strangle Vick for being accused, the fact that I’m against dog fighting yet I will still fuck some hot wings up is wrong. Therefore, as decided last week, this is my last month eating beef, and next month is my last month eating chicken. I had already quit eating pork, and I’ll continue eating non-farm raised fish. I’ll miss Carne Asada and hot wings…but if I get a craving for chicken, I can always purchase a naturally raised chicken (for $50 a chicken…geesh) Eating non-farm raised fish and naturally raised chicken is still a contradiction, considering the animal is being killed when it doesn’t have to be, but I’m attempting to role with the lesser of two evils. That in itself will still be a battle, but I’m at least willing to try.



Side 2: “He ain’t do it, the man tried to lynch him, so he had to take the lesser charge”



                Truthfully, I hope Vick did do it. If the people proclaiming “He just took the lesser charge because he’d be found guilty even though he’s innocent” are right,I’d be extremely bothered. Not because the trial was bullshit, but because this dude lacks the balls to stand up for himself. Whatever happened to the Ali’s? If you didn’t do something, you stand up like a man. They may find you guilty of it anyway, but if your innocent, you don’t say you did it. Fuck the system, if you ARE innocent, stand up to it, if you get hung, at least you stood for something.  I know people are gonna say “Oh, he don’t wanna be sitting in jail for that long, he gotta make money” etc. etc., and some more bullshit, but people have to stand the fuck up. There’s more important shit in this world than money. I’d definitely hold right’s and freedom above money, and if the people who are in the position to stand up and make a statement don’t, black fans of the Atlanta Falcons have a lot more serious issues than having Joey Harrington at QB. I really wish I could say more for side 2, but the thing is, IF Mike Vick IS innocent, he’s a jelly spine bitch made mouse nigga. I wish I could be in the court room as he walks off in cuffs to tell him to his face. I believe he was treated unfairly because he was black, but him pleading guilty had nothing to do with his color. IF he IS innocent, him pleading guilty is because he’s a coward afraid to take a stand.



                Take it how you want it. Pick your side, but you have to fully consider all shit involved. If you think dude did it and your upset he did it not because it’s illegal, but because you think it’s wrong, drop the Chicken McNuggets. If you think he didn’t do it, and he got forced into taking the charge he took, you should be disappointed he didn’t stand up in an effort to stop people being screwed by the system. Shit…even Irv Gotti fought his case, and he’d never last as many seasons in the NFL as Mike Vick. I guess he still has more heat than Vick…IF you think he IS innocent. No matter what side is right, dude is still an embarrassment to the likes of Jim Brown, Ali, and even Warrick Dunn.
