Reflections From a Murky Pond

According to a CNN report Michael “Sick” Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in a federal prison for financing a dogfighting ring and helping to kill the dogs that did not perform well. The punishment was meted out at the end of a 90-minute sentencing hearing in federal court in Richmond, Virginia.

The ghetto thug appropriately received his sentence dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit. He offered his apologies to his family and to U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson. Judge Hudson was unmoved to sympathy.

You need to apologize also to the millions of young people who look up to you! I’m convinced it was not a momentary lack of judgment on your part. You were a full partner.

— Judge Hudson

The judge added that he wasn’t sure Vick had fully accepted responsibility for his actions. The judge handed down 23 month prison sentence, which was significantly longer than the sentence of 12 to 18 months that were recommended by federal prosecutors but less than half of the 5 years Vick could have been sentenced to.

Say goodbye, Vick! You’re down for 23 months in a federal prison. I’m hoping the other inmates treat you the way you deserve, but if they don’t, the state of Virginia has stated they intend to file their own charges against you.

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.

As seen on Break.com

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?

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) wants Michael Vick to be executed if he’s found guilty of federal felony charges of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in animal fighting venture.

The Senator is making an informed assertion. These is not the mouthings of a lily-livered dandy who doesn’t know the consequences of choices; he knows exactly what he’s asking for. Sen. Byrd has attended one execution before and claims he wouldn’t mind seeing another “if it involves this cruel, sadistic, cannibalistic business of training innocent, vulnerable creatures to kill.”

I am confident that the hottest places in hell are reserved for the souls of sick and brutal people who hold God’s creatures in such brutal and cruel contempt.
One is left wondering who are the real animals: the creatures inside or outside the ring?

— Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV)
Speaking before the U.S. Senate on July 19th, 2007

Frankly the Author appreciates the august Senator’s desires, though finds them somewhat too generous and compassionate. After all that Vick’s has done, dying slowly from AIDS contracted through homosexual rape while in prison sounds like a more fitting punishment. Why should a man who’s famous for public obscenity, knowingly and willfully infected a woman with genital herpes, and allegedly took part in one of the cruelest and most gruesome of human acts be granted the mercy of an execution?

Sen Byrd won’t get his wish. Our legal system doesn’t support such justice. The Author’s hope is that the American justice and penal systems will do their respective parts so that he can get his wish and Michael Vick can get what he deserves.
