Michael Vick Will Face More Charges

Posted by Bossip Staff

Via NY Post:

Embattled football star Michael Vick, who pleaded guilty to federal charges last month, faces more legal trouble after the prosecutor in the rural Virginia county where his dogfighting took place said he will seek to indict the former Atlanta Falcon quarterback, authorities said yesterday.

“Most of the matters that I’m presenting have already been admitted in sworn statements authored by the defendants in the federal proceedings,” said Surry County Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerald Poindexter.

Vick pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges Aug. 27 in a Virginia federal court growing out of his involvement in a dogfighting business. Vick, who faces up to five years behind bars, will be sentenced Dec. 10 on the federal charges. Poindexter did not detail the charges in the indictments he plans to pursue, but said his investigation and the federal probe are focused on different crimes.

Michael Vick chose the proper name for his dogfighting business venture “Bad Newz Kennels”, because since this whole thing started it has been a straight downward slope. He might be locked up for a minute. SMH.

  1. sage

    a side order of first please?

  2. My Business

    U know what theres other shit out here these stupid muthar_uc_ars could talk about why want they leave this man alone dang I could see if we are talking about humans but some damn DOGS get over it!


  3. U KNOW WHAT,LEARN HOW TO SPEAK AND COMUNICATE BEFORE TRYING TO SPREAD YOUR IGNORANCE WITH THOSE f(*&^)*G STATEMENTS…A LIFE IS A LIFE IGNORANT MOTHERF*&u_ERS! U THINK ITS RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INNOCENT ANIMALS WHO CAN’T DEFEND THEMSELVES ISN’T IT? U KNOW WHAT’S EVEN MORE FUNNY, THATS THE SAME “DANG” EXCUSE THE SLAVE MASTER GAVE BEFORE BEATING THE SLAVE!

  4. AI Carter

    We still talking about this Vick sh*t? So what if they are new charges? Still same old Michael Vick. Moved on to other stories…Senator Larry Craig trying to pick men in bathroom stalls, OJ Simpson gets arrested, Britney ups herself on the stupidity quotient… just no interest in hearing about Michael Vick.

  5. My Business

    Go screw yourself thats my opinion and if you don’t like stick your head up your booty and holla with your dumb ass!

  6. YOU

    Another black man about to lose everything he worked hard for because he made a stupid mistake. Stop taking the bait.


  7. You know what, I don’t agree with dogfighting (and the grown-ass men who are participating in it should be shamed…damn invest your money and stop trying to come-up) BUT when is enough just that…enough?

    What do they want? Mike to serve life in prison. You know what saddens me the most about this entire situation? The fact that the American people will go into an outrage about an animal being abused, however, if it wasn’t for mostly Black blogs you would have barely heard about the young West VA woman who was tortured.

    Why aren’t people in an uproar about that? And what about the people (besides cute white kids) that come up missing everyday…why aren’t people upset over that? Or the three college kids who were executed for nothing…why aren’t people still talking about that case?

    Its a damn shame that people in this country care more about animal rights then human beings…fyck Mick Vick and dogfighting the United States has more urgent problems to be addressed. Real criminals get slaps on the wrist for child molestation, torture, murder, aduction and rape…but these fools in the USA are worried about some damn Michael Vick.SMH:-(


  8. If I offended someone…my apologies but people we have soldiers in Iraq losing their lives for nothing. I just think all the media and justice system are trying to get the American public to focus on Vick’s case to take focus off of the more serious matters going on in this country.

    We have an Administration in the White House right now that are constantly breaking laws and have distinguished Government Officials taking the stand lying under oath for them. Yet we are focused on this shyt…c’mon now, “WE” can’t be serious.

  9. Not You

    Ron Mexico be fuckin’ up. SMH

  10. YOU

    @ Mz_Magnificent1

    You are so right. You know the media isn’t going to put the spotlight on that young woman because she is african american and upper lower to lower middle class. I love animals but God put Man above the animals

  11. Reformed GammaRay

    I mean well DAYUM! just throw the whole bookcase at him! geez, he’s gonna pay for what he’s done, white folks aint happy till he’s str8t crucified. gosh they love them pets!

    my dude/friend that got locked up said the judge wanted to make an example out of him, Vic a black male celebrity athlete that’s actually in the wrong!!??.. GOODNIGHT. they lovin makin this “national example”…give it a rest. I dont ever wanna have to go to court I swear, not even for tickets..

  12. DW

    Abuse and torture is abuse and torture and its all the same sickness regardless of whether it happens to people or to animals and whether its done by some idiot pro athlete, a redneck, a gangsta the US Military or a group of hired Blackwater thugs. Trying to run the whole sordid history of race and racial prejudice up the flag pole again over the likes of Michael Vick is just not going to help anything.


  13. Yeah well.

  14. nahnah

    @DW

    I assume all of you who are condemning Michael Vick are vegetarians?


  15. I couldn’t agree with DW more as well as Mz, but lets not get it twisted. We’re here on a forum complaining and what do we do when we step out into the real world? I think the nation as a whole needs to stop looking to justify our actions and step up and be responsible people in our every day lives and dealings with be it a person, animal or whatever. Our future is what we are seeing now and by the read of it, it doesn’t look too bright. Never mind the lack of obviuos education but the lack of morality is what will eventually be this nations downfall. Who are we going to step on to get to the top if there is noone left to step on. Lets pull together people and if the race card is going to be played, use it when it really matters… like defending the inequality of the justice system ie: the JENA 6… and not to justify some ignoarant ghetto mess that heppened to get out the ghetto cuz the N&)*( could run. Be real people, support who needs it. FREE THE JENA 6!!

  16. nahnah

    Yes, let’s go after Michael Vick for dog torturing.

    While we’re at it, let’s target KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Red Lobster’s, Sizzlers, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and all those other entities who torture animals for human enjoyment/consumption!

    I don’t condone torture, whether it’s innocent animals, or humans but let’s not be a hypocrite about it.

    Those same white people who go around crucifying that man are the same ones who hunt and fish every fucking Saturdays. Give me a BREAK!

  17. JillyBean819

    I am absolutely sick as to how people can say ‘it’s only a dog’ or ‘who cares if a few dogs die’. Do you think that animals don’t feel pain or something? I can’t imagine harming an animal. I practically cry when I come close to hitting a squirrel…and they annoy the hell out me.

  18. nahnah

    jillybean819 must be a vegetarian.

  19. Abiyah

    “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Therefore, judge not, that ye be not judged. For the same judgement you pass on your fellow man, you shall be judged accordingly. I am sure that there are things in your life that you are not proud of…things that are a crime and punishable by law…things that you deserve to suffer for…secret things…destestable and pervesrse things…things that would tear your world apart if anyone found out. Remember this, just because your filth was not presented to the grand jury and made public on the national stage doesn’t make you any less guilty. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are all subject to fall, lest you forget. Wishing bad things to befall someone only causes the universe to pour misfortune into your own life. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”. Speak life!

    Horrors inflicted at our bidding

    NFL player Michael Vick has pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges. Subjecting animals to any kind of abuse is evil and cowardly. The majority of persons who are judging Michael Vick are nothing more than hypocrites.

    Millions of animals are slaughtered in factory farms each year. Not only are they forced to live in deplorable, inhumane conditions, they are drugged, tortured, maimed, slaughtered, boiled and skinned alive while fully conscious. Anyone who eats meat, cheese, eggs or drinks a glass of milk is directly responsible for the premeditated murder, torture and abuse of an innocent animal.

    People who eat or use animal products are in effect paying slaughterhouse worker “hitmen” and “hired guns” to abuse and kill animals for them so they can wolf down a hot dog in five minutes. I have asked many self-proclaimed “dog/animal lovers” to view videos on the Web sites of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, all-creatures.org and Humane Farming Association, and the majority refuse because they don’t want to know or get upset. Hypocrites!

  21. Um nahnah, although what you are saying is correct, that doesn’t mean that we as a society issue a get out of jail free card to someone who commits a crime against not only society but to life as we know it. This whole world is full of hypocrites, but that deosn’t mean we turn our back on correcting it either. If anyone can see what they do to these animals and you can sit there and say that its okay to cause pain to another life and hear their cries of pain and enjoy it, then there isn’t enough room in the prison system to hold all of the sick people that are out there, that’s what’s scary. The fact that he is a publiuc figure is being used to sell papers and air time but that doesn’t mean that what he did doesn’t deserve to be punished. I wish we l;ived in a world or a country that you can say everyone is treated equally but look at what we are disputing…there should be no dispute whatsoever. Wrong is wrong no matter which way you try to spin it.

  23. YOU

    @nahnah

    lolololol u r funny

  24. nahnah

    natalia,

    you must be a vegetarian.

    you must not eat innocent chickens who are packed together in factory farms, choked to death, for selfish human enjoyment.

    you must not eat innocent cows who are packed together, injected with a bunch of hormones, and murdered brutually for your own enjoyment.

    you must not eat pigs who are tortured and murdered for your own enjoyment.

    if you do, then you’re no different than michel vick.

    the only difference between the dogs michael vick killed and the innocent animal you had on your plate earlier is that michael vick didn’t eat them.

    animal torturing is rampant in america. millioins of animals are killed just to please humans, make us fat and give us cholesterol and blood pressure problems.

    there’s no reason for a mcdonald’s in every corner.

    there’s no reason for a kfc in every corner.

    but there is!

    because we as a society.

    enjoy torturing animals.

    hunting is a big sport in america, and it’s LEGAL. killing innocent animals for the hell of it is WRONG regardless of how it’s done.

    corporate america kill millions of animals in the name of PROFIT. humans don’t need to consume so much meat, but we do anyway for our own ENJOYMENT.

    Michael Vick should not be treated any differntly from those who own factor famering or those who fish and/or hunt as a hobby. KILLING IS KILLING.

  25. Kizz My Azz

    Mike might as well take a Dirt Nap…Because he is dead…and buried…

  26. Nikki

    if you do the crime, do the damn time!

  27. Delta Diva

    Ok, Vick has been punished, not only will he probably not play in the NFL again but he will spend a couple of years in prison. The point I think most of you are trying to make is that the system is using Vick as an example. I’ve seen people who have murdered HUMANS get off with less time. I don’t condone what Vick did b/c it was wrong and he should be punished however, this prosecuter in VA is just trying to make a name for hisself. Plain and simple.

    If we are going to put people in jail for killing dogs, that make duck hunting or turkey hunting or deer hunting-Are those animals any less important! Let’s also put people in jail for drinking and driving while intoxciated with other drugs such as Coke- America has a double standard…period. We try to justify one act by giving punishment but when a crime is much worse like molestation of children or murder, we give them a slap on the wrist.

  28. brwnbarbie

    I can’t believe VA is pressing charges too!!! It seemed unlikely that they would since the feds have the case, but I should have known they would want a piece of the action too. Good grief…

  29. Common Sense

    Listen to you Nigs…

    blah blah blah…white people…

    U know what, the Georgia prosecutor is BLACK. White people don’t give a shit about ghetto trash like Vick. My family is never harassed, probably has something to do with the fact we are all ivy league educated.

    IF YOU ACT LIKE A NIG, YOU GET TREATED LIKE A NIG.

    Ask Kenneth Chenault or Stanley O’Neil if the white man is coming for them….

    Of course, you nigs have no clue who they are…..


  30. For your information, he called it Bad Newz because the city he’s from is Newport News, which is nicknamed Bad Newz. So get your information staraight before publishing it. And good luck to Vick. They are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. Nobody complains about white folks shooting deers!


  31. ^^^^@ Common sense–

    I can understand your feelings as far as the “my family was never harrassed, probably because…” However– I’d like for YOU to try any of the following and get back with me. I’d like to know how things turned out–

    1. Hail a cab in Midtown Manhattan in the evening hours. Note how many will pass you before one actually STOPS!

    2. Watch how women will clutch their purse, briefcase or, personal effects closer to them as you approach and pass.

    3. Notice how (this is the best one) your change from a purchase is sometimes “placed” on the counter instead of in your hand!

    4. If you should visit a department store, take notice of how you’re given “preferred treatment and attention” by the cutsomer service associate(s).

    5. In this day and age where check writing has become all but obsolete, if you STILL write them–turn one of your cancelled checks over and examine it v-e-r-y careful. I’m almost positive there is a “code” which someone has written if you are a BM or BF. This is normally done when presenting the check for purchases.

    My point is–to some, no matter how well spoken you are, your education, your income potential and or level, at the end of the day YOU ARE BLACK! We are not separated by social status or being–we are almost ALWAYS grouped. And when we are–the outcome or opinion is usually not positive!

    Thanks—


  32. BTW–

    Things like that happen to “light skinned” blacks, too!

    Again, Thanks!!

    SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY NO ONE GETS THIS UP IN ARMS ABOUT SOMEONE GOING OUT AND SHOOTING A DEFENSELESS DEER?!?!?!?!?!

  35. Cmybloc

    All I have to say is…

    The only way you can get away with animal cruelty is to get white folks to give it a sporting name and then it will become legal. That’s all I’m saying… They did it to all the animal they like to kill and they put it on TV. Look at all the sporting/ hunting shows they have, from wild game, Boars, Elks, Deers, Etc… That’s all I’m saying… They were smooth with it too, they made it seasonal so they can mate in between. That’s all I’m saying… No one get bent out of shape over that. That’s all I’m saying… Justice sux if he get more than a 15 months. That’s all I’m saying!!!

  36. Ruby Begonia

    Dem white folk just won’t leave him alone. Everybody knows dere is notin wrong with dog fightin. Theys been doin it all through history. Poor Mike he be crucified.

    Thank the Lord he be found Jesus.

    He be have Rev. Al and the NAACP to help him out.

    Don’t matter what yous might have done if you be black they be say yous framed and are innocent.

    God Bless Them.

  37. t-o

    Mz_Magnificent1, 1tru diva excellent its like I think something and y’all already typed it. As far as Vic goes if he has to do the time for his crime how come Paris, Lindsey, Nicole, and many others don’t have to do the TIME for thiers? as far as animal cruelty i’m completly against it but I’m not about to stop eating meat. Man is a carnivor period. But I don’t approve of the animals being tortured first, its bad for the flavor.

  38. DJ's MOM

    They’re acting as though Mike Vick killed a white woman!! I don’t condone animal cruelty. I am a former pet owner (my beloved Jasper was put to sleep in January ‘07). Yet, enough!! Let this man do his time, make some form of restitution to the Humane Society and go on with his life.

  39. Pedsdmd

    Stop taking out the OJ residue anger on Vick!!!

  40. AND...

    OJ killed a white woman, he got off. Kobe rapped a white woman, he got off. Mike Vike killed a dog, he’s going to jail. Moral of the story… stick to killing white women.

    I laughed so hard when I found this I almost threw up.

  41. NubianGoddez

    SMH at this damn fool. did he forget he was a black man in America? going to jail with his herpes ass that he freely passes around to any groupie who sleep with his trifling ass. damn and he so fine too what a waste!!
