Reflections From a Murky Pond

Sometimes you just have to laugh. The awe inspiring stupidity of some people beggars the minds of normal people. Is such self destructive idiocy an example of a well-deserved lack of self respect? Is it engendered by a self absorbed denial of the person’s accountability? Is it actually possible that you can take the thug out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the thug?

In a stellar example of gross stupidity Michael “Sick” Vick tested positive for marijuana last month [September, 2007], drawing the ire of the judge who will be sentencing him in December. U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ordered Vick confined to his Virginia home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. with electronic monitoring. Vick must going forward submit to random drug testing.

How thuggishly stupid does a hominid – I won’t say person in Vick’s case – have to be to toke up after being convicted of federal felonies and while awaiting sentencing for those crimes? Is it possible that the Black entertainers, athletes and pundits who’ve defended Vick’s behavior are actually right? Does Michael Vick have reduced responsibility because drug use, dogfighting and a plethora of other antisocial behaviors are just part of his ghetto culture?

Michael “Sick” Vick has accepted a plea deal to avoid additional federal charges related to a professional dogfighting operation, according to one of Vick’s attorneys. According to Lawrence Woodward, one of Vick’s defense attorneys, Michael Vick is going to enter a guilty plea to the felony conspiracy charge next Monday at 10:30AM.

Vick’s decision must have been fairly easy after his last two co-defendants pleaded guilty Friday and agreed in deals with prosecutors to testify against Vick if they were called to do so at trial. A third co-defendant pleaded guilty in July under similar conditions. Every ghetto thug knows to plead out after their friends roll on them; it ghetto standard operating procedure.

After sponsoring a multi-state dogfighting enterprise this ghetto thug will probably do somewhat less than a single year of prison time and have to pay a fine of some sort. Sorry, Sen. Byrd, they won’t execute him.

The NFL is still noncommittal on their own actions against Vick. While the NFL was still working on its own review of the case and is closely monitoring talks between Vick’s lawyers and prosecutors it is unlikely that they’ll place ethics before profit.

I hold out the slim hope that Michael “Sick Ass Ghetto Thug” Vick will contract AIDS during one of his hopefully frequent prison rapes.

It’s doubtful that this would ever happen, even if and when Michael Vick is convicted of the heinous crimes of funding and running a dogfighting operation, but it would be fun to watch.

The Author’s only real concern would be the possible negative impact on the dogs who were carrying out the sentence. Given Michael Vick’s genital herpes infection and his possible drug use, it would probably be unjust cruelty to the dogs to force them to put him in their mouths. Maybe we could use rats instead; America’s vermin getting rid of America’s vermin?
