Description:

This petition is to bring awarness to the Support of Michael Vick

and his mis-representation in the media

The media has made it seem as if Michael Vick is an evil non-sympathetic human being and gave the assumption that he has little or no support.  They seemed to focus and thrive on the negative and the humiliation of Mr. Vick.

 However, the media failed to tell you about the many churches Mr. Vick funded in his home town of Virginia. They neglected to mention how he gave back to his college of Virginia Tech to help support the education of the rising and upcoming students. They failed to let you know about any of the good deeds Mr. Vick has contributed. 

They failed to make the public aware of the many charities Mr. Vick contibuted to, they forgot to let the public know about the lady that was in a store with her children during the Christmas season that couldn't afford to buy her kids Christmas gifts and Mr. Vick, not knowing the lady, nor did the lady know who he was, reached into his pocket and gave the lady an undisclosed amount of money so that her and her children could enjoy the holidays.

They failed to mention that Michael Vick brought a city back alive and brought in a great amount of revenue to the City Of Atlanta. 

They failed to mention Mr. Vick made fans happy and eager to attend the football games. 

Once again, they failed to state that Michael Vick was the ONLY player Atlanta had to sell out the Dome.

How is it that  Michael Vick's case is so highly profiled by the media, and you hear nothing of relevance that needs the media attention like the GERNARLOW WILSON case OR the JENA SIX...don't they deserve the type of media coverage Michael Vick had/has?

This petition is to show that Mr. Vick is not a bad person he just got caught up in a bad situation and how the media can portray even a human being as nothing more than an animal!

We all support Mike and we agree that dog fighting is wrong...but does this warrant the unfairness and the hatred some of these 'Animal Right and 'Humane society' protestors are demonstrating? The way they are promoting the hatered and violence towards Michael is what the media needs to be looking into...these people are filled with HATE And Violence...and isn't violence what they're protesting against?  or does that just go for animals and not humans! Violence is Violence...so let's be fair!  there have been far more serious crimes (not to down play dog fighting) that have,  and still are going on in the world... that have gotten less media attention and less jail time!

We ask that you consider his good deeds when making your determination. Give him his job back!

Vick should be doing community service working at an animal shelter. I don't agree with jail time, but since he is there, they should put him in a program that helps inmates learn compassion by working with and training potential service dogs. When you take good care of dogs, they will return the favor 100% Dogs were put on this earth to serve people, not to be abused. One of this forums comments that they are just dogs!!!!!  She is definitely not a sweety.

Let's let all rich and famous people out of jail, for whatever crimes they've committed.  After all, they must have donated some money to charity, took pity on some poor slob or worked a tele-a-thon or two at some point in their glamorous careers.  Hell, kidnapping, rape even murder can be forgiven.  Let's just forgive and forget.  Everyone needs a second chance.  Of course, we must remember that only the rich and famous need second chances... the rest should rot in prison because I don't want those dirt bags living next to me!  Because as Jeff J. said, Vick was demonized.  How dare they charge him with a crime!  Charging and convicting him is a sure sign of demonization.  To hell with evidence, proof and the rule of law!  Forgive and let him have his life back- except for those that deserve it... like the homeless, the poor and the insane.

michael vick is a good player i dont agree whith what he did but at the same time everone has there own levels of entertainment he likes fighting dogs an oyher people like fighting humans so if its wrong to pump dogs full of drugs an have people pay or bet on them to fight than it is compleatly wrong to watch pay-per-veiw or hbo i mean whats the differance a human's life is more valuable than a dogs right or are they concidered just about the same but who am i let him play if he serves his time for his chrime than no further punishment is nessary

WHY ARE YOU WRITING ON HERE...YOU MISSPELLED NINE WORDS AND INCLUDED NO PUNCTUATION!  This post should be for people with an IQ of at least 60.  Open a book.  Honestly, you can't even spell view.  I learned how to spell view when I was in the 2nd grade.  Actually, I'm glad you wrote the thread above because it proves how STUPID and ILLITERATE Vick supporters are. Thank you for proving my point.  Have a nice day.

Couldn't of said it better myself!!

I so agree with you David.

David, you are hilarious. I enjoy reading your opinions! Your tell it like it is. What a firecracker your are!

 

Francis:

I appreciated your comments.

David is arrogant and needs a lesson in demonstrating good manners. David should also be i nformed that comments on this site are not rated by the spelling. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that Davis can afford, and uses, a "spell-checker". This, IMHO, makes him a hypocrit!

I so agree with you Jack K.

I would like to start off by saying that I am so excited that there are still people out there that realize that Michael Vick made a mistake and continue to support him. This situation has gone entirely too far and it is so unfair that he was found guily by the press, NFL, The Atlanta Falcons Franchise and everyone else out there immediately. I am sickened by the way that this situation has been handled. There are internet pictures, videos, and webpages out there that are calling for this man to die because he was dogfighting. PETA.....as much as they despise him continue to make money for their organization off of exploiting Michael Vick and this situation. I know that he is not the first person to be caught dogfighting and will not be the last. We all know that he made a mistake but guess what....everyone does!!!! The last time I checked, there was no such thing as a perfect person. Are there not more pressing issues in this country such as poverty, war, and lets not talk about the numerous killers, pedophiles, terriorist....need I go on? I think that people have lost sight of who Michael Vick is and forgot about the fact that he really is a good person in spite of his recent misfortune. His career has been taken from him and his reputation has been trashed. Really, what else can you do to this man that hasn't already been done. I am not condoning what he did, punish him FAIRLY allow him to move on with his life. As Toreanna stated, I too am a vegetarian and do not believe in the harsh treatment of animals.I am also a dog lover however, I understand that there comes a time when everyone needs to accept what happened, embrace it (we can't change the past), and move on. Let him play!!!! He deserves a second chance just like Ray Lewis(double murder change), Kobe Bryant(rape), Chris Henry(violating code of conduct), Tank Johnson(weapons charge), need I go on? Let him play!!!  I personally don't live in GA, but have traveled to Atlanta many weekends so that I could be in the Georgia Dome to watch him play. I was a fan and a Mike Vick supporter before the dogfighting and will continue to support him. In closing, I say free Mike Vick, give him a second chance, and let him play!!

I am glad there is people standing up for mike vick just like me..People are treating him like a natural born killer...no I dont agree with dog fighting and killing dogs but I also dont agree with how the media is describen vick yes he messed up but everyone in this world deserves a second chance and he deserves one with the nfl fans across the world and the atlanta falcons...Free Mike Vick!!

Describen??? What the hell is wrong with you people??? READ A BOOK!  Go to school!  Why do you think there were so many Vick supporters outside the courthouse today?  BECAUSE NONE OF THEM HAVE JOBS! 

How do know all of those people don't have jobs you must know all of them.

My cousins name is David W. He lives in Pennsylvania. I'm beginning to think you are him! How strange is that?

It seems as though there are millions of people not working. Why should they, when the middle class supports their lazy behinds. I wish I could live to see the day, all people have to work and not be given a free ride.

As far as Vick is concerned, he is a very poor roll model for our children. Alot of sports stars are. For one, they are all overpaid, alot of people who have to work for a living can't afford to go to these sports events.

I rescue dogs, including pit bulls. These dogs aren't bad, their dumb owners are!!!!  Do people realize, dogs that are abused to the max are so mentally disturbed that if and when they ever get away, some innocent person will surely be hurt or probably killed? Did Vic and his idiot followers ever think of that?

Support Michael Vick!

I would like to say that it is so good to FINALLY stepping up and showing support to Michael Vick. I completely agree that the media as well as judgemental people have really given him a bad rap. To all the mean spirited people that wishes all these evil doings upon him and seems to think he has gotten what he deserves, you are no better than the alleged acts of Mr.Vick. Your thoughts are just those your thoughts and how evil are ALOT of them but the difference between you and Michael is that his crimes aren't even proven even though he pled guilty ( did he really have a choice) your harsh words are black and white. You tell me who is the demonic person you are Michael Vick and I'll go a step further and help you out...... Start with the man in the mirror. I SUPPORT MICHAEL VICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I can't understand what you said.  Your sentence structure looks like that of a elementary schooler.

Tywanna's "sentence structure is fine with me. Why don't you jump into some quicksand and settle down???

jACK k.

Sara C.

You are absolutely right!  But what I'm saying is: don't believe EVERYTHING the media is putting out there...

what Michael has been accused of is totally wrong...I think I said that in my petition...But Did it deserve National Attention...I mean C'mon over kill is Over kill...all I'm asking is when does the Forgiveness process began...I Love my DOGS also...( I have two)  However I wouldn't own a PITT BULL!!! Because I don't think of them as Family Pets... In England they use Pitt Bulls as sport fighters (not making excuses) They kill Deers they are just as innocent...we are supposed to be a being of Forgiveness...We forgave the hockey player who killed his team mate in a DUI accident...He's still playing Hockey and was never suspended!!! I'm Glad society forgave him...that's the only way to move on...the NFL Forgave RAY LEWIS-he never Stopped Playing...The NBA Forgave Coby Bryant for his rape case...they didn't make him stop playing...Trust me I understand how you feel, However you should never put animal before MAN!!!! Some people Really Love their dogs...They sleep with them...They let them eat off their plates...they Kiss them in the mouth...Whatever rocks your boat...But regardless of how much you treat them like HUMANS...Reality is they are Dogs...No You Should not Harm any of Gods creatures...I'm a Vegetarian i don't believe in sacrificing ANY ANIMAL-to eat or to FIGHT!!  But I'm a Humanatarian FIRST!!!!! You can hold your Dogs in Very High Regards...But where do we hold our Humans?  What else do you want to see happen to the man...His Life is **** near Screwed...Do you not believe he  doesn't deserve a second chance?  Watch EXTREME FIGHTING on HBO...Now that's what they need to be protesting...They should be protesting our schools cause we can't send our children to school with out the TEACHERS TRYING TO SLEEP WITH THEM OR MOLEST THEM...All I'm saying is Find something with a little more importance to put on T.V. besides this Michael Vick Situation...Does this really make your day like the media is trying to portray?

Thanks for correspnding with me Sara...I really respect your opinion!  We all should learn to Agree to Disagree!!

This whole issue shouldn't be about race at all. Its about right and wrong, and what he and his associates did to these dogs is inexcusable. Toreanna, the reason this got so much media attention is because it is American human nature to hold dogs in a very high regard. We treat and love our dogs like we do our children. So what Mr. Vick did hit a very sensitive emotional chord among Americans, including myself. When we hear stories like this, we think of our own pets, whom we love dearly, suffering a similar fate and being abused in a most horrific manner. He has the ability to make decisions as a human and he gave these animals no choice. It upsets me that you trivialize what he did and merely call it a "bad" thing. A "bad" thing is when my 2 yr old draws on the  wall. I really don't care what neighborhood park or civic group he contributed money to, it doesn't justify what I believe is sadistic, even demonic behavior. Only an individual with a cold, callous heart could do what he did to these animals and he certainly shouldn't be in a role model position. C'mon Toreana---a rape stand, electrocution, hanging, drowning, strangulation--all for the sake of $$$--still think he just did a "bad" thing?!!? He reaped what he sowed....

chef w...I really don't understand what you're saying when you say this petition is a 'Black race issue'...no one played the race card but you... race was never mentioned in this petition...it's about the MEDIA...I don't think it's about RACE...Never have...maybe you mis-read the petition...but you have every right to believe in what ever you believe...you don't have to Support Michael Vick...but remember you clicked on Coolmy petition...why are you so angry?  we all have the right to voice our opinion...sounds like you're upset with me...for what?  I'm not mad cause you don't like Michael Vick (Shouldn't get so angry chef) it's okay!!!!!!! much Love Boo!!! 

   I am by no means a supporter of a low life vermin,such as Vick! By your defense of him you show once again all abhorrent behavior is condoned as long as he has spent some of his $ on charities etc.You also exhibit behavior which is all too common today,"The black race issue" It is so obvious by your remarks ,that you feel a low life like Vick was only prosecuted because of his race.People like you are no better than the white KKK dirt that persecuted fine black people in the past.I am sure if you had the opportunity to do so,you would indeed persecute whites. Right is right,and wrong is wrong! it is not a color issue.Until people understand that ,we will remain racially divided!!!

My Name is Greg Giles with Muzik N Motion Ent. First I 'd Like to say It has been a pleasure working with Toreanna B she someone who is  dedicated to the Support of  Mr. Micheal Vick and all the injustice he has encountered a. We at MUZIK N Motion Ent will be doing everything in our power to  support Vick to the END-- We have your back Vick  all the footage that we've been collecting is so astonishing that I can't even believe that  it has even reached this point::::

 

***LOOK FOR THE UPCOMING*** VICK-TORI   TOUR***** Starring Music Industry  Artist that are also Vick Supporters   !  .......for more info call 678-698-6033    ask for Greg  with Muzik N Motion Ent  

Torenna B,

Yes, forgiveness everyday!!  There is always something I could have done everyday to grow, expand and become a better person. 

Newtons third law of physics, "for evey action there is an equal an opposite reaction ."  I choose not to react to your previous set of comments.  I think you released your passsive aggressive thoughts before you ment too.  You are an intelligent individual and we can have a conversation.  Let's have it about this topic.

AH

Toerena B, don't you think it's a little obvious who the more educated people are?  You misspelled ment, falsy quoted the Newton's Third Law of Physics, and your sentence structure is skewed.  Your point about the media is reckless and obviously about race.  If a white NFL QB did this, you wouldn't have made this petition.  Am I right?

Many of Hitler's key people were highly educated. I have no idea, or really care a rat's ass, what your educationj consists of. I do know from your rantings that you do n't possess an iota of social intelligence.

Jack K.

A.H.

let me apologize for mis-reading your comment...i didn't notice that the first part of your statement was for Kristi T.  (see what over reacting can do) I apologize for jumping to conclusions...WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?

and  let me point out once again...i feel we both are agreeing on the same things...we just have different views on what should happen now!!  please read my statement below...keep in mind I wrote this before I realized you weren't talking to me! (smile)

Thanks for your comment once again A.H.

Again your are ABSOLUTELY right, BAD BEHAVIOR IS BAD BEHAVIOR!!!! can we say we agree on that?

But when do we (YOU) start forgiving...that does not mean except his behavior...he's not the first person to ever commit a form of BAD BEHAVIOR...Just as the HOCKEY PLAYER who killed his team mate a few years ago in a DUI accident and was able to continue to play for the Hockey league, he even asked to be traded because the memory of his friend in Atlanta was tormenting him and the NHL accomodated him and traded him to another team to take off some of the pressure...HIS BAD BEHAVIOR and BAD DECISION caused the LIFE of A HUMAN BEING...yet society forgave him...he basically did NO time in jail...and he's still playng hockey today...Again...I'm hearing what you're saying and we're basically agreeing...so for you to try to INSULT the level my ELEMENTARY DEPTH is totally unnecessary and irrelevant...

And to question Michael Vick's up bringing by his mother is totally unfair...how does any of us know what 'his mama' taught him and if you have children you will know -mom and dad can teach us to be the 'perfect little angels' but it's up to US as to how we portray that when WE become Adults...I'm not making excuses for Michael...I don't even know the man (DO YOU?) But he's young, he nieve, and what he was involved with was totally wrong!  Again, how long do you continue to beat him down!   and who's to say his apology was not sincere...are you going to continue to depick every thing he does to try to redeem himself?

 

You know what's funny A.H. ( I just want to share this with you) I hear lots of people trying to play the race card in this Michael Vick situation.  I't's not about race...I tailgate every Sunday and the number of White Americans out there with their #7 jerseys on and Their "let Vick Play"sign is unbelievable, so if you want to get angry get angry about the fact people are throwing out the race card!  Let it go people...so many people assume that Vick supporters are mostly black and that we hate dogs...I have three and care very much about them all...but I will not harm them nor will I ever put them before any human being...Are we (You and I ) ever going to agree to disagree...and A.H remember a lot of information most of us are getting on this Michael Vick case is through the MEDIA...and trust me when I say the media only puts out half the story...

looking foward to hearing from you soon!  and please don't feel sorry for me...If you want to feel sorry for someone...  feel sorry for those who carry  hate in their hearts and who don't believe in forgiveness of others. For when you forgive you can live!  and why are you asking for forgiveness EVERYDAY? what are YOU doing? And I hope you're not asking for Forgiveness for the same things (LOL) just kidding A.H. don't want any angry with me than you already are!

 

You don't have a point with the hokey incident.  He didn't mean to kill him friend in the accident.  Vick KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND MEANT TO DO IT.  There is a huge difference between accidents and negligence. 

There is definitely a point with the hockey player that man was driving drunk, and didn't do a day, any time someone gets behind the wheel after drinking and causes the death of himself or another individual is just as guilty as someone who pulled a trigger and killed someone, drunk driving is not an accident.
