And still is, I might add. see if you can get yourself invited over to his place in Palm Beach to see how badly it all worked out for him.

Lady, Barney’s business was better than ever after his arrest. He’s feeling no pain. Site a better example and I will feel better about the law and its ability to deal with these people.

Vick got off lightly. I’m sure the criminals will all cry “racism”. A longer sentance would have been more approrpriate.

I agree with Cyd 100 percent. The Vick case reminds me of a similar scandal in equestrian sports some years ago, and the athlete in question found that he was dead in his sport when it was all over. Olympic jumper rider Barney Ward, who had been showered with accolades for years, was found to be involved in an insurance-fraud scheme. He had been helping heartless owners collect on highly insured horses by assisting them in stealthily electrocuting the horses in their stalls, so it looked like natural deaths from heart failure. As I remember, Ward got a cut of each insurance payment for his services. Well, guess what…Mr. Ward went to prison for insurance fraud, and when he got out, he found himself barred from horse shows for the rest of his life. The American Horse Show Assn. were so unforgiving that they wouldn’t even let him in the gate to see his own kid ride.
