This was not 40 guys hanging out for casino night in someone's house. They tortured animals and forced them to fight to the death.
What do you think you would feel like if Phaded and I grabbed you by the throat and stuffed your face in a tub of water until you stopped breathing. I've actually seen a dog fall off my boat and go into a panic seizure while in about 10 feet of water.
It's never for "sport" unless it's on a private game reserve. Hunting is to maintain wild animal populations. Hell...the moose here in Maine sometimes breed in crazy numbers. Although...I'd like to kill off some of the people around to "cultivate" the inbreeders. I'm all for hunting people for sport...but people would get upset at that idea too. Coming from someone who sees deer, moose, ungodly amounts of wild turkeys....hunting is needed sometimes to guarantee healthy herds.
Like failure to pay parking tickets? The punishment is to scare other people into not wanting to act the same way. What would a monetary fine and probation teach Mike Vick?
Because you can take the fools out of the ghetto but you can never take the ghetto out of the fools. He could have purchased old casino equipment and run an illegal gambling operation in his house. Cards, craps, slots, betting on sports. What he did was pretty sick. He could have hired a vet to euthanize any dogs...no questions asked.
Absofriggenlutely he does. There's a difference between making a mistake and intentionally doing what he did. He's a thug with amazing football skills. There are millions of people in the U.S. who could use a break like Mike was given for years and they would never pull this horseshit.
Makes me feel like those guys should stick to their marriage vows or not get married. Don't fuck around if you're not ready to stop.
Don't break the law and you have nothing to worry about.
My friends at Las Vegas Sands have the Singapore gaming license and I've been to Sentosa Island many times. Singapore is amazing, no trash anywhere, they recycle everything, and they have their shit together. $75 fine for spitting on the sidewalk. How do I feel about Singapore? Don't be a prick and intentionally break the law. Grow up, be a fucking responsible adult, and if you intentionally break the law, be prepared to face your punishment. There's no dipshit gangbangers, grafitti, or trash in Singapore....and places like Newark, Houston, Compton, Detroit, Richmond, and Hartford would no longer be armpits of their States if they learned a lesson from Singapore....
Oh noo....I should be able to steal and only get a monetary fine. Hey...my Dad saw a guy get his skull split with an axe for killing another families goats...moral of the story....don't kill my fucking food supply. I saw three Navy Seals drill a Taliban with a 50 cal rifle...and all because he was wearing Taliban clothing and carrying an AK-47
18 months is not piling on.......15 years would have been excessive. His gambling ring borders on what Mobsters pull.
When you reach strike two, maybe it's time to grow up.
