Some Groups Do Not Get It

NAACP NAACP supports Vick

Read near the bottom: "White said he does not support dogfighting and that he considers it as bad as hunting.

"His crime is, it was a dog," White said."

Umm hello huge difference one is legal and the other is not.

I must be reading a different article. The one you linked to says that the NAACP does not see him as a victim and that he needs to be held responsible for his actions.

It was the president of the Atlanta NAACP (Mr. White ) who is defending Vick. Wouldn't want to lose out on those donations now, would we?

You knew it wouldn't be long before the race card was pulled out... it's the last desperate act when one knows there isn't a leg left to stand on.

The original article was changed but at the bottom of my post I put in quotes from the NAACP Representative, which he changed his stance the next day.

Do you really expect anything less from the National Association of Always Complaining Persons?

Everyone in this thread should go on wheel of fortune.

Talk about not getting it...

"It's real clear that Mr. Vick himself would acknowledge that he has made a mistake," Hayes said.

Uhh, apparently not Mr. Hayes...

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will not admit to killing dogs or gambling on dog fights, as detailed in his indictment, when he enters a guilty plea in a Richmond, Va., federal court Monday, a source close to the case has told ESPN. Instead, the one count of conspiracy that Vick will plead to will admit guilt to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dogfighting.

The source told ESPN that Vick's defense team met with federal attorneys Thursday afternoon to determine the "summary of facts" to which Vick will plead, and that his attorneys believed they had a deal. The source said Vick maintains he never killed dogs and never gambled on a dog fight.

****************

I see the strategy unfolding.... after he does his time he can go to the NFL and claim that he was the victim... he had no idea the dogs he sold were being used for dogfighting!!!

He was accused of killing dogs, but was never CONVICTED. he was accused of gambling, but never CONVICTED. Plead guilty to the interstate commerce charge and claim ignorance.

Welcome to the world of plea bargains. You admit to a lesser charge and cooperate to reduce a sentence.

I am shocked and appauled!
