Laura, being a retired Los Angeles Police officer ( Laura, not me)...I certainly understand and respect your opinion...The Vick case is not an easy one to deal with.

To: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 10:43 AM I can't agree. Why should Vick get anything more than any other parolee, just because he can throw a football? Maybe the Arena League will pick him up. They seem to embrace convicted felons. The NFL does not owe him anything. I am sure he broke many of the ethics and morals clauses in his contract. Sure, he has paid a big price for his crime. But, that is as it should be. He shouldn't get it all back. I believe in second chances, but the second chance needs to be earned, not given. He hasn't earned it yet.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing....some one said that to me years ago...today I heard on Sports Center (ESPN) that Michael Vick was getting out of jail today to testify in some sort of bankruptcy hearing...ESPN went on to say Vick is scheduled to be released in Mid -July....Question?......should he be allowed to resume his career in the National Football League?...his crimes were horrible and he was punished in more ways than one for those crimes....working in some type of law-enforcement most of my adult life I am NOT soft on criminals or crime (Oakland just lost 4 police officers Saturday at the hands of a parolee...I used to supervise parolees in Oakland)...I believe Vick should be given a second chance......I'd even like to see him play for the Raiders...."but for the grace of God there goes I" ........FB ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2008.
