Vicktims

A man that once graced the February issue of Blasphemes is now in a wee bit trouble for being involved with dog-fighting. I have been silent on this because I believe in this little thing called due process. If you think I am crazy to wait before I pass my own judgment on him remember the Duke lacrosse players "scandal." They were demonized and run out of school. They had a chance to win the NCAA championship that year and it went away because of false allegations. I played lacrosse and the NCAA title is the big enchilada of lacrosse. Yes, there are some pro leagues but trust me when I say that they are just rice and beans. They were not afforded the change to compete for the meal. In fact, they were driven out of school. They had their pictures posted at the school that accused them of rape. OF RAPE!! That is some serious shit and imagine how they must have felt knowing that they did not do it and everyone accusing and ignoring.

I digress. Back to Vick.

Vick is accused of some atrocious things. Fighting dogs. Killing dogs. Being an asshole. Well, the last is not an official charge but . . .

The prosecutors have given Vick until 9AM tomorrow morning to accept the plea deal that they are offering him. The plea has at least one year of jail time in it. If he refuses the plea deal, superseding indictments will be pressed.

Interesting choice. I think we will find out tomorrow if he thinks he did it.
