Yeah that flip is either very good for Vick or very bad...

Course the defense can always claim vested interest is perjury to discredit the guy if he does indeed finger Vick

Does he have the goods on Vick?  (are there any goods to have?  Heck, I don't have personal knowledge).

Sounds like he might have something to bargain with, though.

Should NAACP Apologize For Duke Lacrosse Case?
Submitted by Jack Madison on 13 April 2007 - 9:45pm.
READ MORE: News | Duke Lacrosse | NAACP
Story body
Rape allegations made by an African-American woman and exotic dancer against members of the school's nearly all white lacrosse team created racial and class divisions in the Durham community and beyond.

After the suspects' lawyers raised doubts about the accuser's credibility, the state NAACP, led by Reverend William J. Barber, demanded a gag order. The organization did not ask for such a motion while prosecutor Mike Nifong made statements of the supposed guilt of the former lacrosse players. So now that charges have been dropped against the three men, does the state NAACP owe an apology? Reverend John Fredlaw, a Wilmington man and leading member of the organization says no. Fredlaw said, "Maybe forthcoming later there may be, but at this time I don't think an apology is in order. My point of view is that I think that the charges that were completely dropped should not have been completely dropped."

Reverend Fredlaw says he still believes the woman was somehow abused. He said, "Something had to have happened for this young lady to have gone to the district attorney in that county to draw up some charges."

As for questions that the NAACP, which works to fight questionable witnesses and to prevent injustice, may have sided with a questionable accuser, Fredlaw says he believes the woman is a victim, but recognizes there may be discrepancies. Fredlaw said, "When we have high profile cases, we have many contradictions in there. And this was a high profile case. And as far as I'm concerned, it is still a high profile case."



I keep telling you this is a dead organization on the level of the John Birch Society.

No but they were REALLY close in football...

LOL remember the line in North Dallas 40. When the reporter asked if there were any Gays in Football...the player says "yeah" and he asked if there were more on offense or defense...the guy said,"Defense...you can use your hands more."

Some entrepreneurs out there have made a dog chew toy that looks like Michael Vick. I'm thinking about getting a couple for my neighbors' boxers.

Ten men convicted over 'sadistic' dog fight


Ten men were today convicted in connection with a “sadistic” organised dog fight at the end of the biggest dog-fighting trial in England in 140 years.

The fight, which claimed the lives of two pit bull terriers, was staged in a kitchen showroom in Birmingham and inflicted “unimaginable” pain and suffering on the dogs.

Graphic video footage shown during the trial at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court revealed that the owners of the terriers, named Bullet and Elvis, encouraged the animals to fight by shouting and clapping.

Squeals of pain and phrases such as “shake him” and “come on boy” could be heard on the videos as the dogs bit each other so badly that one was left covered in blood with barely any hair around its face.

Both animals were found seriously injured and bleeding heavily when police raided the showroom after hearing noises coming from the premises.

One dog, which had been pushed up into ceiling tiles in an attempt to hide it, died a few hours later, and the other was so badly injured it had to be put down. ...........snip (much more at link)

That is so sad. Again it is barbaric and the people who enjoy it are sick f's!

How long do they torture the fetuses before they "kill" them??? And since no form of birth control is 100% (except abstinence)unless you have been snipped and burned (or are celibate) davey, SHUT UP you are part of the problem!!!

Just asking a question to equate the two. There is prolonged torture involved in the first and not in the second. I see no reason that you should've brought up you subject...nothing to do with it.

So Tango, even if you are the thread nazi, are you really sure that one has nothing to do with the other, and what reason do you have for yelling at me, and how am I part of the problem. As a matter of fact I am part of the solution to both subjects which I have mentioned. But I guess you already know this, since you know me, you must because you said I am part of the problem.

BP, that is there choice. Honestly I don't care about them. Just like in the running of the bulls each year I hope every year that people die so that they will out law it. I don't care if people are stupid and want to do stuff like that but the animals don't have a choice.

They made a choice the puppies don't have a choice. To stop the running. If there was any other way to do it great I'm all for it! Nothing has worked as of yet so yes I hope for maiming and such so that the practice will end.

So bp, if your children (and I don't know if you have any)like to fight you'd let them?? What if they like to play with matches, just go ahead?

Most dogs do not like to fight they are trained to and punished for not fighting. The animals in question do not like fighting but fight for dominance in the wild. And in the wild usually the lesser animal gives up well before being maimed and seriously injured.

I am stupid, as you implied with your english tirade, if and unless? how does that set up the next statement of shut up Davey. Don't waste the energy, I am to stupid, as is, in if and unless, you understand your own well thought out verbal abuse, lets get back to dog fighting now. Because us stupid red necks relate to this any ways. Ok, and a thread nazi, is well, if and unless you can understand me, is anyone that takes control, by getting out of control. Kinda, maybe??? lol

Why are you comparing children to animals? You have made it clear that you have more regard for dogs than children.

Dogs will fight to the death in the wild. Domestic dogs will kill humans. Don't be so obtuse.

Go find your own cool word bp don't use mine!
While the majority of wolf aggression is non-damaging and ritualized, a high-stakes fight can easily result in injury for either or both parties. The loser of such a confrontation is frequently chased away from the pack or, rarely, may be killed as other aggressive wolves contribute to the insurgency.

ba·by [bey-bee]
1. an infant or very young child.
2. a newborn or very young animal.

So our difference is you are calling a few cells a baby whilst I do not.

While walking around the ocean, I stopped by the bay, waiting and watching, a bee started making honey with a tree. That I enjoyed. As time went by I took the honey with me. Time was my friend and she let me make some honey with her, we went back to the bay waiting on the bee. Then time changed while waiting for the bay/bee. Waves of pain, with ripples of passion flowed from time untill baybee arrived, our honey has grown from that which we never understood, to the life that we love.

I don't know why Davy Crockett and Bacpac are going on about baby killing. We have very strict laws about killing children - much stricter than for killing animals.

I think maybe Tango was assuming that they were so bizarre as to refer to abortion as killing babies.

When do a 'few cells' become a child?
StoveStomper
7:56:25 PM
9/23/07

well you know what happens when you assume something, and as far as when do a few cells become a child, thats another question. I have never been to a dog fight or want to, it is a terrible way to treat dogs, just my opinion, my silly concern was this, in a country like ours, with all of the lack of concern for human life, seems likely that dog fighting would be ok too. After all when does a few cells become a child? Or how old should we live before we are put down? Life is alive, does it really matter the age of life. Dog or human? Should be protected, of course there is a difference between a dog fight, and a abortion. Enough of my grammer on this subject, I am missing a few cells anyways. a few cells short of a full set. lol

Well Tango, I just thought they deserved the benefit of the doubt. There is a weird fetishistic cult in the US that seems to worship embryos and first trimester fetuses and see them as having a moral and spiritual significance exceeding that of any living thing that has gone through the birth process.

When do a few cells become a child? I don't know, but definitely not in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Anyhow, we've had this debate many times on other threads on TT.

SUSSEX, Va. (AP) -- Michael Vick and three co-defendants were indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on state charges related to a dogfighting ring operated on Vick's Virginia property.

Vick was indicted on one count of beating or killing or causing dogs to fight other dogs and one count of engaging in or promoting dogfighting. Each count is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
