Vick-animal abuser & multimillionaire...

[Medusa]

I don't hate Vick b/c hate takes passion and I'd rather reserve my passion for other things. However, I disagree that he's paid his debt. Just b/c he served a light sentence does not mean that his debt was paid. He has many deaths of innocents to atone for. Perhaps the law says he's all paid up but many, many people say otherwise.

Also, forgiving someone doesn't mean that suddenly that person has seen the light and has changed. Forgiveness, IMO, is for our sakes, not the perpetrator's. If forgiveness guaranteed that the perpetrator would forever walk the straight and narrow and would redeem him/herself by doing acts to make up for the crime/s committed, then most of us wouldn't have a problem w/forgiveness. Forgiveness is not a free pass. It's for us, not them.

that's why I said he paid the debt he was doled out. he was given a sentence and he served it. so now he's free to go about his life and be successful if he wants and there isn't a darn thing anyone can do about it because he's paid his debt as far as the law is concerned. so whether we like it or not he is free to go about his business however he pleases (within the confines of the law of course).

We don't have to like it but I'm not going to waste anymore energy on it. He'll have his judgement day.
