THE NAACP URGES FAIRNESS FOR ANIMAL ABUSER MICHAEL VICK


[+] serious ballot by Kev24
created Tue Jul 31, 07

ATLANTA (AP) - NAACP leaders urged public restraint Monday in judging Michael Vick before he has his day in court.

R.L. White, president of the Atlanta chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the Atlanta Falcons quarterback has been vilified by animal rights groups, talk radio and the news media and prematurely punished by his team and corporate sponsors.

"If Mr. Vick is guilty, he should pay for his crime, but to treat him as he is being treated now is also a crime," White said at a news conference. "Be restrained in your premature judgment until the legal process is completed."


^ really? and where were they when the wrongfuly accused duke lacrosse players were vilified before all the evidence was in and almost lynched?

where was the naacp when don imus was being destroyed in the media and losing his job over his comment?

do you think it's right or "fair" that the naacp is so fast to come out and plead for fairness in the michael vick case, asking for people to withold judgement until his trial, when they never opened their mouths to even apologize to the innocent duke lacrosse players? so where is their public apology to those now proven innocent? or is it they just don't care unless the person is black and then all of a sudden, they're all about fairness - even though it's obvious vick is guilty.

is the naacp wrong and are they racist?

the naacp is wrong
the naacp is right to do this
The NAACP is political

COMMENTS:
Voted : the naacp is wrong
listen to these phonies ---


On Monday, Tony Taylor, a co-defendant in the case, pleaded guilty in Virginia to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach and Quanis Phillips of Atlanta face similar charges and are scheduled for trial Nov. They remain free without bond.

White plans to contact Vick to see what assistance the Atlanta NAACP chapter can offer. White predicted that public opinion may worsen in the wake of Taylor's plea deal.

Until then, he said he would keep an open mind and encouraged others to do the same.

Georgia NAACP President Edward Dubose thanked Vick for his community service and the money and excitement he has brought to Georgia as a Falcon. Dubose said Vick is being prosecuted in the court of public opinion before he has had a chance to defend himself.

"We're not condemning bad behavior, but Michael Vick is innocent until proven guilty," Dubose said.

They'll pick and choose their battles every time. Just do what I do, Kev. *Ignore them*.

they may be political truth, but i want to know if you think they're right or wrong. a group can be political and be right, so in my view there is a great distinction.

All organizations, whether it's The NAACP, ACLU or any other, should be consistent and urge public restraint toward anyone before he or she has their day in court.

Isn't that the foundation of the justice system, "Innocent until proving guilty?"

Vick should be treated fairly, although I don't think he'll like it. For some people, fairness would hurt.

I think he is entitled to due process, but to excuse him just based on his skin pigment is just atrocious.

NAACP sounds more and more like the Klan. Race based organization doesn't belong in our country, period.

Sorry for failing to answer the question, Kev. I think they're right in calling for us all to recognize the concept of "innocent until proven guilty", no matter how badly it may look for Vick. Personally, I believe the man's as guilty as Original Sin. He should be glad that I can't be anywhere near a jury.
by Truthseeker013 on Tue Jul 31, 07 5:39pm [+]

believe me, I'm TOTALLY into the "innocent until proven guilty" stuff!

But I also saw video of the mangled dogs being rescued from his property and pictures of his kennels and the doggie grave yard.. there's no humane way that that many dogs died so fast.

Sorry y'all.

There should be "fairness" in all trials before a jury.

I predict Vick will get the same fairness that O.J., Kobe and Jacko got.
