Organizers plan Vick ‘celebration’ in hometown
Event is meant to give city chance to ‘enjoy and embrace’ former convict
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Community organizers in Michael Vick’s Virginia hometown are preparing a “celebration” for the former NFL quarterback.
Andrew Shannon, who is president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference chapter in Vick’s hometown of Newport News, says the event is scheduled for Aug. 8. Vick will be in attendance and is scheduled to speak at the event, which Shannon says is geared toward promoting the doctrine of nonviolence.
One of the organizers, resident John Eley, says the “Michael Community Celebration” is intended to give the city a chance to “enjoy and embrace” Vick.

OMFG, no way! I am embarrassed to live in my state...head hanging
ReplyDeleteI think I want to go throw up.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to embrace him with a brick, I know that isn't even nice but he makes me sick.
ReplyDeletehe revoked the "nice" when he did what he did. and i want to embrace him with a tire iron...
ReplyDeleteIts bullshit and they are supporting a man has done horriably wrong. So would they do the same if he murdered a person?
ReplyDeleteI think what we need to do is find out if there are any corporate sponsors of this event. Then target them with letters letting them know we won't support a company that supports a killer.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but there is no second chance for the dogs who's lives he took took away.
