RE: [pyrnet] Michael Vick




>>>Doesnât he deserve the chance to display that he has been shown the error of his ways and has been rehabilitated?



He can display his remorse by taking the long hard road, just like any other felon on parole has to. Most felons cannot get a decent-paying job, if they can find a job at all. Why should he be afforded special privileges?   His prison term was far too lenient.  If it were you or me, we would not ever again see the light of day.


 

>>>Are you saying that he doesnât deserve a second chance?



That is correct.



>>>Should anyone get a second chance after they have served a prison term?



There are a lot of people much more deserving of a break than Michael Vick.  What ex-cons walk out of prison into multi-million dollar jobs?


 

>>What should he do here, play for free? I donât really see what that would do to better the situation.



He should not be allowed to play professional sports at all.  For better or worse, this country looks up to its athletes as examples, and teaches its children to do so as well.  Others have been permanently banned for far less than what he has done. He should be shunned and treated as a pariah for the rest of his life.  He deserves to be treated exactly as he treated those animals.
