Mike vs Marine?

Question

I know alot of you guys are over that incident with the Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff, but Im not... I was wondering why its not as BIG as the Micheal Vick case, and why the "supposedly dog lovers" arent outside on strike about it?....does anyone know what they're going to do with that guy, David Motari(the marine)??...and if you dont know what im talkin about, watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2OjbDo4udA

Answer 1

well.not like I really care at all about dogs, but here's why it's not as big: 1. Michal Vick is a huge star..some random marine isnt..people don't care near as much about him...2. There's a difference in the level...I don't know how many dog's Vick was accused of killing/harming, but I'm sure that there were a lot more of those than one dog off a cliff.  3. A lot of people don't wanna criticize the marine/armed forces...

simple thing is..there's gonna be a difference in coverage between some marine somewhere throwing a dog and a 100 million dollar super athelete/celebrity  running a dogfighting kennel (or whatever it was)..

Answer 2

Dunno, but (1) there's the UCMJ and (2) one would hope it was only a one-time thing by a stressed-out guy in a combat area, not a planned and ongoing extermination of puppies. I bet it'll be taken care of in an appropriate manner, and we won't hear about it. These things usually do work out.

Answer 3

Hmmm, i'd like to see what people have to say about this one... I'm sure plenty of them will try to justify it, or water it down.

Answer 4

good question...

here's why it isnt as big of a deal as the vick case...Michael Vick is black, and this marine is white..any time you are a high profile black entertainer, athelete, etc. you will be ridiculed and treated different than if you were, lets say...white..h**l, you had people who wanted to see Vick get life imprisonment, i'd like to see that same outrage here
