I Can No Longer Keep My Opinion About Michael Vick To Myself!
As a prior Legal Officer, it really irrates me to see that Michael Vick comitted a crime, served his punishment for his crime, and then society wants to keep him down and hold it against him, without giving him an opportunity to prove himself first.
What happened to society wanting to punish people for their crimes, then wanting them to come back to society and do good things? Don't we need to give them an opporunity to do so first, before we hold them down immediately after they completed their punishment?
I'm realize people aren't perfect. They make mistakes and definately make bad choices. And if they do, they are punished. In Michael Vicks case, he did wrong, served his punishment, now lets give him an opportunity to do right.
If Vick was a repeated offender, after society gave him numerous opportunities to do right, then bash him. Then don't trust him. In Vicks case, we haven't given him that opportunity to see what good things he can/will do. How about doing so first, before we continue to hold him down for his past mistake, and before he has an opportuntity to do good.
Do I defend him for what he did? Of course not! But he served him punishment. Let's stop continuing to punish him!
