Rush to Judgement

Last month the President of the Atlanta NAACP told America that it was prematurely punishing Michael Vick.

"... to treat him as he is being treated now is also a crime."

R. L. White lectured...

"...Be restrained in your premature judgment until the legal process is completed."

Now, White is not waiting for the process to be completed before telling...

"...the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."

White is under the delusion...

"His crime is, it was a dog."

Actually, it was eight dogs executed in April, I don't doubt there were more and the scientific community is united in that fact.

There's more to it than just killing dogs...

A federal grand jury indicted (Vick)...on a single count of conspiracy to cross state lines to engage in illegal gambling; to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture; and to buy, transport and receive dogs for animal fighting.

Vick plans to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge.

The NFL's anti-gambling policy states that a player can be suspended indefinitely or have his contract terminated if he "knowingly associates with gamblers or gambling activity."

Don't forget...

The Attorney for Surry County, where Vick allegedly operated his dogfighting business, said last week the evidence revealed in federal court so far has solidified his plans to prosecute Vick on animal cruelty and dogfighting charges. State charges could bring Vick up to 40 years in prison.

I'm surprised Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton haven't weighed in.

After all it's not about justice, but just us.
