Michael Vick indicted by Federal grand jury in dogfighting probe
From RICHMOND, Va. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges related to illegal dogfighting.
Destined to fight???
Michael Vick and three others were charged with violating federal laws against competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines.
The indictment alleges that Michael Vick and his co-defendants began sponsoring dogfighting in early 2001, the former Virginia Tech star’s rookie year with the Falcons.
This is Mr. Bonz…he was resuced from dog fighting…
It accuses Michael Vick, Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor of “knowingly sponsoring and exhibiting an animal fighting venture,” of conducting a business enterprise involving gambling, as well as buying, transporting and receiving dogs for the purposes of an animal fighting venture.
Telephone messages left at the offices and home of Michael Vick’s attorney, Larry Woodward, were not immediately returned.
A woman who answered the phone at the home of Michael Vick’s mother said the family knew nothing about the charges.

Well Baby Boomers…
You know how I feel about cruelty to animals…I say…”throw them to the wolves!”
Some of you sports fans might say “AHHhh, come on Baby Boomer Queen, it is just a dog.”
But, I don’t see it that way. No more than I did with the Christains and the Lions!
Here he is in the prime of his career and life and he is going to lose this game…and it is a big game. A game of cruelity and gambling. I won’t be the one to throw the first stone…I will let the animal activists do that!
I don’t care if it is a cock fight or a dog fight…it is not acceptable to me.
Hey Micheal is this the example you want to show the children who hold you in high esteme?
What you do in the dark comes out in the light.
What about it Baby Boomers…thumbs up or down???
I hope my pictures reached some of you out there!
I say, “THUMBS DOWN!”

I think that Vick should go to jail for at a minimum of 10 years and then be orders to work at a dog grooming service completely supervised and give him minimum wage and let him sleep in a shopping cart outside. I think that with all the good this country has done and all the people around the world that call this place “the land of opportunity” and this is what other countrys see us as….Weak and cruel minded people like Vick who are rich and famous with lots of rich and famous friends…and they are the people are children are meant to look up too?….Great Society that we are living in…

WOW that is some comment…I loved the part about him SLEEPING IN THE SHOPPING CART! LOL
I don’t think the world sees us as weak and cruel minded. That is like saying all of Germany were like Hitler or Stalin.
And there are lots of rich people who are generous and kind…evil is what stands out and what sells news papers, not good.
Thank you for coming to my blog and making a post. Come back soon and often.
I can tell you are an animal lover.
Continue to be true to your self and stong.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, “Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”
