During that same time, and even younger little girl (I think she was about 8yrs old) was abducted in Philadelphia. This little girl was bound, gagged, and held against her will. She freed herself from her restraints and escaped by crawling trough a small hole in a wall. During her daring escape, she suffered permanent damage to one of her eyes. This little girls horrific story was dwarfed by the Elizabeth Smart story, so much that I can't even remember the little girl from Philadelphia's name. My point here is, the media has & will always pick and choose the stories they feel will boost their ratings. Being that Vick is a high profile athlete, his demise is ratings gold for them so naturally, this is the story that will be ran the most. Not the story of a "name less" little boy being molested by a priest or a "name less" woman being raped and killed. Being that the Vick story is the one that will get the most media attention, the Vick story is the one the public will discuss more and be more outraged and vocal about.
I guess I'm a "tree hugging faggot" & your attitude towards me is "F U" because, I think the allegations against Vick are disgusting & beyond sub-human. If he (or anyone else) did these things, he/they is/are sick & should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law but, I feel the same about the many priests who have gotten away with molesting little boys and so on.
