On a local level

Mike Vick has been sentenced on Federal charges, and state charges in VA are on the horizon. For those that believe he'll only serve 23 months have not considered the depth of charges against him. Yes, he broke dog-fighting laws, but the RICO laws apply to interstate commerce of transferring animals for this activity. After he gets out for Federal crimes, look for him to serve for state crimes.

I read where the judge gave him this time instead of something shorter because he really didn't appear to show remorse. People like Vick can't show remorse because they are what they are, beasts within themselves. Blacks keep complaining that he was targeted because he's black. He clearly broke several laws and didn't do himself any favors by perpetually lying, and participating in such gruesome activities. Remember, beyond funding dog-fighting, he and his ilk brutally murdered animals that had no chance. That's why when blacks complain that he wasn't given a fair chance, think about those poor animals that never had a chance. He's beneath them because he's a human being behaving in an animalistic manner, period.

That's why Mike's in jail folks! No black or white thing here. I just wish the blacks would wake up and stop using being black as an excuse for poor judgement and horrific behavior.
