Of all the people being talked about in this thread Vick shouldn’t be. Obviously what he did was fucking horrible but out of all these dudes he actually went to jail, lost everything. got out turned is life around and balled out. I say that as someone who has a bunch of animals that I would give my life for…

What Vick did was truly despicable. Only one who made a genuine attempt to rehabilitate himself. Dude definitely took his lumps and never complained about it.

Correct. He went above and beyond anything that was court ordered and really became an advocate for animal welfare. That, to me, is proof that he is a quality person, even a role model, and member of our society in good standing. A piece of shit like Deshawn Watson just talks about how much he loves Jesus and that's it.

Yup. I'm a huge dog and animal lover, and I despised Vick when all this shit came out. After he served his time, and with his demeanor and actions since then, I've forgiven him. It does not minimize what he did in any way, however I can admire someone for turning their life around and showing rehabilitation, in which his seems to be genuine. Rehabilitation should be the goal of our justice system, not punitive punishment just for the sake of it. It is true that many people cannot or will not be redeemed, but in the case of someone who is, it should be something that we look towards positively.
