Not that is should matter too much, but I'd just like to preface this statement by saying that I am an African American male in college and have been a huge Michael Vick fan since his VA Tech days.

Since the allegations recently of the dogfighting ring and since the raid of his Viriginia home where they found the dead bodies of the dogs, I have said if he is directly involved with this then he must be charged to the fully extent of the law, because it is a felony. He is a grown man now, and he just has to be responsible for his own actions and those of the people who occupy his property. He cannot use his upbringing or the fact that other people live on his property as an excuse.

Having said that, I don't understand quite why there is the cry to near crucify him and Leonard Little of the St. Louis Rams, has had multiple drunk driving charges and killed a mother and there is no national outcry there? Is Michael Vick wrong, definitely, but charge him as a man, let's not gang up on him and try to make an example because he is who he is, that's being hypocritical.
