I don,t think anyone on this thread has sanctioned buying his clothes, glorified or honored Michael Vick.

As far as judging Mr.Vick from a legal standpoint, I would ordinarily say that was up to a jury. It appears that even Michael Vick could not defend his actions, IIRC he pled guilty to the charges. Yet, people feel the need to defend him? Why? He wouldn't even defend himself.

It has been said and it is true. A socipath cannot be "cured". Once a sociopath always a sociopath. Before anyone argues this point please
study the subject. All professionals will support this conclusion.

Referring to the store that is marketing his brand

Absolutely true, sociopaths cannot be cured because they have no sense of remorse. They usually just find new victims.

Another truth-ALL SERIAL KILLERS started out abusing animals. This is not to say that all animal abusers become serial killers.

Personally, I believe in Karma, I see the Karma bus heading toward Michael Vick.

I was not quoting the scripture therefore I left off the biblical citation. I was quoting my personal philosophy. I too believe in Karma.

Additionally, he works very hard for the ASPCA and other groups to end dog fighting and other acts of animal cruelty. I am a dog lover and believe that what he did was despicable, but I believe he has paid for his crimes (more than any other animal abuser in history) and has reformed and should be allowed to go on with his life.

Typical of TOTV ...jumping to conclusions

I have to say this has been one of the most interesting threads I have read on TOTV. My thanks to everyone who has posted. It has given me a lot to think about and that's a good thing. All I can say for the bottom line is that Michael Vick will come to whatever end that Kharma has set for him. Personally I hope it duplicates something that has happened to one of his poor dogs. For myself, it's easy. I don't watch his football and I don't buy anything he sells. I know you all will make your own decisions and they will be the right ones for you. Peace and love. My goodness, anybody got a pipe to pass around!!!!
